Ok I hate when people complain about the instructions. But the instructions are no help(build the wing install the engine) lol. no instructions on where to bolt the engine I did it centerd right to left and then from center of the crank to the top of the cowl same as crank to the sides. I did not beef up the gear mounts and it is holding up well. all the hardware is good I did add a joiner wire between the elevators I don't like Y connectors on elevators. build was easy and fast. power is from a bx1 1.08 2 stroke mg heavy duty on elevator and rudder standerd on ailerons. First flight nice long rollout easy takeoff cog is perfect as per the instructions took me a lot of lead to get it there. 2 clicks of trim and she flew nice and well behaved tracking is rock steady. in a stall she just drops her noes and stays level. this plane is clean fast a joy to fly no bad habbits in the air landing gear is crazy wide so landing is cake. flaps work well need a bunch of down elevater mixing but stays stable. Overall I love this plane fun build fun to fly looks nice and it is fast. fiberglass is thin in non critical areas some cosmetic flaws. After fliying it I no it can easily handle a 180fs or 30cc gas.

The kit was in dbl box all parts bagged and taped down well. No damage in shipping. The fiberglass is thin in non critical areas so you can't man handle it like some other fiberglass kits. Some paint bleeding on cowl and panel lines and the fuse does not have perfect lines. Due to those to things i'd say this is not the plane to try to all out mod and make a super scale p-47. However I wanted a good looking large warbird to put a big engine on and go fast at a good price! And this plane is perfect for what I want it for. It is good looking nicely built I would buy it again now that I have seen it up close. I will post a build review and flight review once it is in the air.

Sehr schnes Kit! Man sollte nur die spannten und die klebestellen GFK/Holz kontrollieren und am besten mit einer lage GFK verstrken. Die Landeklappen werden ber umlenkgestnge vom rumpf aus angelenkt, also keine seperaten Landeklappen Servos in den Flchen, sondern nur eins im Rumpf. Ich finde die Lsung garnicht verkehrt, aber wer mchte kann auch zwei servos von oben in die flchen setzen, was aber zustzliches gewicht bedeutet.
Leider fehlt die bauanleitung, aber eigentlich ist alles sehr eindeutig. Ich werde baustufenfotos, und nach dem erstflug auch den CG hier nachtragen. Fr gewhnlich liegt der aber im bereich der hauptsteckung.
Also: Updates folgen....
