before i begin my review i sorry for my bad english.

this model flies very good but thare are some points to notice and possible upgrades for this beautifull model(more upgrades on rc groups).
the electronics i used besides the standard servos is
-a fireworm lc 16340 1000mah 3.7v becouse it was a round cell(20gr 15gr ballast).
i also bought a 500mah smartlipo but i do not recommand it becouse it is not round and too light.
-and a hobbyking tr6a v2 reciever.
(-without a bec)
(-a voltage alarm is a must (but cant find a 1cell)(crashed but luckaly no damage!)

i recommand using the included fibreglass tisseu to epoxy the horizontal stabilazor(especialy the rounded part on the boom)(broke 2 times luckaly no extra damage).
also the pushrods inside the keflar pod broke loose recommand extra flexible gleu(its hard to get in thare!).

i wish the aileron pushrods ware extendable for easy adjustment.
and i wish the aileron servos would be easely removable becouse thea are too large and could be better quality.

my total weight is 301 grams but could be reduced if using spring pull system
i hope my review will help people
regards

Bought a V2 during the sale as a replacement for my beaten up Versus. It's a great entry level DLG with better wing and pod materials. Strengthened the boom to pod join and added extra epoxy to the wing mount nuts because they are a bit suspect. Changed the pod servos for Dymond D47 and moved the tray forward. WARNING the provided CA glue is not foam safe. It dissolves the wing core foam. Hobby King, you need to address this mistake.
It's OK at the sale price but way overpriced otherwise.

The model is really good. Flies smoothly, without any jokes :) The fuselage pod is molded kevlar with carbon reinforcement ...very nice
Wing servos are OK but too thick. You'll need 8mm sercos like D47
DLG for beginners and intermediate skilled pilots. Lokks very similar to TopSky DLG's :)
Weight @ all = 280g incl. 300mAh 2S Lipo, Reciver, BEC and all servos.
Not bad!

Great plane and great value. Easy build. I found the reccomended cg range 78-84 to be a little to far back. I would reccomend starting somewhere between 75-78 mm behind leading edge. I did have to add some weight to the nose to get it to balance correctly. I also had to shorten the carbon on the aileron push rods to prevent binding.
Overall im pleased with this DLG, only a few smalll modifications were needed to get her into the air. European style build and quality, hobby king pricing!!!
