Really beatiful plane, but the fiberglass is like smoking paper. I mounted the recommended motor and propeller (previously balanced), trimed all the parameters, etc.



A few seconds after launch the plane for the first fligth, I accelerated to full trottle and the nose fiberglass broke (really very very fragile).



The motor and the nose hangin by the wires, but luckly I coul controll the plane and land it with no more damage. Now I must repair the hole nose with fiberglass. Now I understand the price of this plane. I think Its not originally dessigned for motor mount. So....dont buy it.



Un avin muy bonito, pero la fibre de vidrio es como papel de fumar. He montado el motor recomendado, as como la hlice reviamente equilibrada, el avin perfectamente ajustado, y solo unos segundos despues de haberlo lanzado por primera vez, al acelerar el motor a tope la fibra de vidrio del morro no lo soport y se raj totalmente, quedando el motor unido al morro y colgando por los cables, totalmente separado del resto del avin. Ahora entieno el por qu de ese precio. Creo que es un avin que no est diseado para llevar motor, y al que se le ha hecho un apao para poder ponrselo. Mala compra. No te lo aconsejo de ningn modo.

Great glider and super nice quality, the glider is really have nice scale, this glider have serious wing reinforcement that consist of 3 metal rods, the wings are made of wood and the body made of fiberglass, i used 36mm motor diameter Turnigy G15 Brushless Outrunner 810kv, and 3000mah 3s 40c battery with 14x8 folding prop, for sure this glider will crash with 2200mah 3s batter due to heavy tail as i did crash while landing thank god i have the skills to repair fiber glass and fixed it, over all the plane fly very nice and glide well i wish though if i can make the nose lighter and still fly nice.
