There are two sides of this product, one I really like ("the bright side") and the "dark side", which I will explain later on. First, to the good stuff. this plane looks awesome! The paint scheme is brilliantly chosen, and the looks are fantastic! Furthermore the plane is mainly beautifully crafted, the cover has been properly applied, the details are mostly well made. There is plenty of material such as pushrods screws and so even, there is even an hex tip screwdriver coming along with the kit! (pretty astonishing for a 40$ kit). Once assembled, this plane cashing the cheque it wrote with its looks. It flies extremely nice & precise.
As mentioned, there are also some downsides. As some others already have mentioned, the pushrod for the rudder is misplaced. Therefore you have to either change the location of the pushrod (drilling a new hole) or attaching some plywood as I did it for myself (I added some pictures in the files section). On my plane, the holes for the screws of the wing did not fit. I had to re-thrill the holes to attach the wing. The manual comes in colour, but is partly outdated.
Knowing those drawbacks now, I would still buy the plane. The Chinese engineering can be enhanced with some self-engineering, which allows you to enjoy this magnificent looking flyer.
some hard facts: I am using a NTM Prop Drive 28-26 1000KV, 30 AMP Plush ECS an original 9x6 APC
