I am impressed by the quality,
I'm starting to assemble later this week.
engine becomes the ASP 61 should be enough power
I will return when I have started the installation.
the only thing I saw now was that the cover did not fit in with the color of the upholstery

Got mine about a a week ago, finished building it now. Unlike Sid232, I opted to run only one elevator servo and had to use the optional elevator joiner. A little bit fiddely to get done right, but not very hard if you got some builders experience.

The rest of the airframe went together reasonable well and as far as I could see, there's really no need to go over all the glue joints as they seem reasonable glued. The wing bots might become an issue though, and just like Sid232 I plan on changing them for a tad more beefy ones.

I opted for the G60 with Yep 80A esc running 6s3300 JackPower lipo's to be on the light side, but it looks like I might be a bit tail heavy without extra weight in the front. Possible I'll use a 2sLiFE to power radio gear (Spektrum 7100 receiver, 4 x PowerHD 1201MG servos) strapped to the motor box to balance it out.

The colors are a bit off compared to the picture and the cowling and canopy doesn't match the pink 100pcnt but I'll live with that. I'll do an update when I've flown it, probable this weekend :)

Well received it today and glad to be the first one to write a review. This will be a review about what is in box and a second review after test flight will be posted.

First color differs as in pics, i was expecting a funky hot pink but is actually more a candy purple which is ok tho, overall quality is fairly good, covering is great and paint job is acceptable. Comes with a CD manual, all hardware, servo clips and electric motor adapter, wheels look small for grass (2 inch) so will replace for 3 inch ones. To keep the plane within budget my set up will be as follows.

-TURNIGY propdrive 50-50 580kv 2000watts motor
-hobbyking 100 amps esc
-5v BEC
-5 x corona DS339HV servos (you will need 2 for elevator)
-60cm servo extensions
-probably a servo reverser for second servo in elevator (unless i use mix in my radio)
-2x y harness
-either 15x8 or 14x7x3 propellers
-64mm spinner.
-pilot figure with a max height of 90mm
-powered by 6s 5000mah lipo.

Overall so far happy with product, is a different plane compared to the usual ones around, size id good and looks amazing, i hope i can find some nice decals for it since the included ones are a joke, the only weak point so far for me are the thumb screws for the wings, they are very small in diameter and weak plastic, i will replace for hex metal ones as for 3d wings will be stressed hard.

will start assembling and a flight review will b
