It's cheap and has a lot of space to install electronics (got apm 2.7, gps and receiver in it). The only problem I found were the elastics to hold the wing, which will simply break after some time. I don't recommend buying planes that the wing is fixed with elastics. Otherwise it flies really well and has nice look.

Quick delivery this time thanks.
Lost a day of flying trying to discover why the 30A esc and motor were delivering so little thrust. Conclusion is faulty esc but ended up replacing the motor and esc for a 20A and new outrunner that develops much more power.
Model needs proper hinges and will have to fit these as whole rear fin turns when rudder applied. General foam is much better quality than my old Bix3 but that was a better package. Replacement motor and esc from the Bix3.
Next battle is get the motor and esc replaced.

GREAT trainer serious. BTW change the Rudder servo to a metal geared one. Mine wore off after one flight.

Wow! Amazing plane, fly's awesome, very durable, and is loads of fun. This is my first plane and was bought to learn with and its perfect for that and more. I have an orangerx receiver with a orangerx flight stabilizer and it does great, even in wind! Had a couple issues to start but HobbyKing CS is wonderful, and they took care of the problems. Thank you!

Arrived next day (UK) site
well packaged
Wings/Fus excellent quality ... well made ... tail plane feels bit flimsy and control rods to rudder bend too much ... (I had to cut covering on elevators, it was stopping them moving) but it works !
comprehensive kit ... wings glued together very easily ...everything goes together very well ....
The battery bay ..... I enlarged it to take 2200 .... I cant see the point in using smaller lipo .... its easy to make bay larger couple of mins with model knife ..
plenty of room in fus for normal rx ..
first flight in 10 mph wind ... no problems ... took off in few meters ... flew straight and true ... could do with bit of rudder mixing with ailerons ... as someone else remarked it seems like it will glide on forever when landing ...
motor has plenty of power for the plane ..
I wanted a relaxing easy to fly plane ... that will do all the maneuvers ... and am happy that I got it ... great value for the money and good model for anyone ...

You get what you pay-for. Don't think this is a brilliant plane for a killer price, or you'll be sorely disappointed. My expectation was that I could assemble it according to the instructions, add the receiver, and away you go. However, there were a few issues, and on arrival at the flying club it took a few experienced hobbyists another half an hour to get the plane airworthy.
The rudder and tail-fin are one piece, scored to allow the plastic to 'bend', which it didn't. The elevator was the same. The servo's didn't have the strength to operate either of them, the only way was to score the joints further and force them to bend, (taking care not to force it too much or they would simply break off).
Another problem was that the recommended battery does not fit in the battery compartment. We eventually shoved it in the top under the wing, (but later on I carved an extended space in foam the end of the battery compartment).
The rudder servo is connected directly via a fixed linkage to both the rudder and the nose-wheel to allow steering on the ground and in the air. However there is no adjustment in the trim between the rudder and the nose-wheel, so (as in my plane), when you're on the ground you have to hold right rudder to steer, but the minute you're air-borne you have to very quickly change to left-rudder since now its the rudder that gives your direction. Get this wrong, (a

Purchased one of these for my first plane. With a few hours of computer simulator was
able to take off from ground, do basic flight figure 8's and land smoothly. Did manage to fit a Turnigy Nanotech 2200 battery with a little foam digging at front of battery compartment, does leave aircraft a little tail heavy. Plenty of power in case you do get into trouble. Only other mod, which would highly recommend for beginners is get bigger wheels, otherwise keep a good supply of props as clearance from ground with the 10x6 is not much and hard landing at wrong angle easily breaks the prop.

Ended up writing off first one, but have since purchased another liked the first so much.
