Better than expected

Laser cutting is good and all parts were present,even some you never find a place for!
So I am used to Building on a plan this being a first for 3D jigsaws.
BEWARE the fuselage has built in right thrust so the left and right hand side are different but have the same part numbers . Now DON'T build two left hand wings build one then concentrate is it left or right ?
The ailerons are too complicated so I manufactured my own from sheet balsa.
The flying weight will be,and this is electric 2.6KG
For power I fitted a 5045 720KV on 4 cells with a 14x7 prop giving 600W and 2.4kg of static thrust .
Finally it was nose heavy! perhaps a 4255 would be lighter? and that's with with no lead, moving the battery back helped but tail weight was needed I went for C of G on the spar so a little conservative so moving C of G further back as recommended would need even more tail weight or battery moving back more than space allows .How does it fly NO IDEA just completed so everything crossed!

Schöner Baukasten und Modell

Leider fehlten 3 Balsambretter.
Für Modellbauanfänger ist das Modell jedoch nicht geeignet.
Die Anleitung könnte ausführlicher sein.

Great Kit, not so great instructions, kit was missing some parts

Jan 15, 2020

I mistakenly built two right wings with my first kit that I have had for a while, so i purchased a second kit to complete the project. Unfortunately it was missing some parts., so I bought a third kit figuring I would return the second . It too was missing the same parts. So I returned one kit and made the missing parts my self from sheet balsa.
Missing parts aside the kit is high quality but the instructions are not very thorough, parts are miss labeled in the instructions and when you are done there are many parts that go unused adding to the confusion.
My first plane is done and it came out great. Since i have two kits I am about to start the second one. I have purchase several other kits from HobbyKing and they all are vry high quality.

Pretty good model if you don't require directions, accurate plans and missing parts.

Second review, HK didn't post my first one.
Not recommended for a beginner as this model is challenging
I'm in the process of building this model and as others have stated;
1. Instructions are minimal and inaccurate as parts are mislabeled so be careful before you glue.
2. Quality of the wood is good as is the laser cutting (with minor exceptions)
3. Purchase 2.5mm (1/16) balsa sheets as I have at least 20 missing parts, be prepared to make your own. Very frustrating!
4. Left over parts that aren't referenced or seem to go with this model add to confusion.
Read others posts referencing build logs on "flitetest.com", was of great help.

Challenging

Dec 29, 2019

Some miss-match between parts and instructions makes construction challenging. Noted that some pairs of parts don't match exactly. Better suited to electric than ic motor.
