Good fiberglass plane. But do not forget to glue front wheel mount, if you wish to start not from sling or hands. Have myself one and now i am preparing a sling for take-offs. Plastic camera dome is very thin and will break at first problematic landing. So, have in mind to make another one or have camera with landing protection.

For $100 shipped, it's not all bad. After reading many forum threads and reviews, I thought it would make a nice FPV plane with a few mods.
Forget the landing gear. I'm mounting a belly pan and wing skids for grass landings. I'll use my JetaPult for launching.
As far as the power system, I'm installing an Electrifly .10 Rimfire motor with a CF folding prop on the back. Don't care if the outrunner motor is on the outside.
The plastic used for the camera pod is useless. Hazy and distorted view looking through it. Better to paint it grey and put the camera on top, or at least cut a hole for the camera to see through the hazy bubble nose. I'll also put some extra CF bracing on the wing joints, to help keep the wing from folding, under stress. I'm also thinking of adding two small v-tail like fins on the back, to add more stability.

Overall, it's built pretty good, with the exception of the camera bubble and landing gear.
If you don't mind making some mods, this CAN be a very good plane.

Over use of resin makes it nearly impossible to mount the motor internally. Significant modifications are required if you intend to do this. I cut out the firewall and rebuilt it to mount the motor inside for the clean look. Nice finish but my nose was "tweeked" and slightly twisted. Shouldn't be a problem but for $70 ive seen worse...
