Recently I built this plane. This is one of the best ARF's I ever assembled. No surprises when building it, everything fits together nicely. All hardware is included. The only modification I made is that I joined the two elevator halves with a triangular piece of timber instead of the piano wire. I used all BlueBird servos for the control surfaces and installed a tow hook. All up weight is 3700 grams with the CG at 100mm. Weight is no problem, with the large wing surface the wing loading is still acceptable. I maidened the Habicht on the slope in fairly light conditions and she flew beautiful with no vices. Not a hint of tipstall. I highly recommend this kit. Regards, Maarten

Note they continuously push the word 'scale' in regarding its flying.

Really like the look's, but it is heavy. It needed 500 grams of lead in the nose to balance. I used dual batteries and lead, it feels like a brick. Built per the instructions, the overall weight is 3750 grams (not 2300) with the recommended servos. I am looking for lots of wind on the slope. Hope it will fly
