I am a kit builder from way back. I built and flew my first RC airplane back in 1973 when I was a mere 14 year old. It was a SIG Kadet 3 channel with a K&B 40 and a Futaba 6 channel radio. AHHHH the good old days when we didn't have to worry about the government trying to stop us from flying stuff. It's been 42 years 35 planes 4 helicopters and a hex-copter later and I'm starting on ARF kits. I heard someone say just putting them together. THATS A LAUGH. When I'm done I will have changed a few things. This will be my 2nd ARF. The first being a 60 size Ugly Stick that I put a DLE 20 on. Man that's a great combo if you like haulace great acrobatics.
The first change was the motor. I figured the fuel injected Evolution was the cats meow but they never could make it work properly so I went with the DLE 61. I'm sure I will have to adjust the throttle and choke locations. The second change will be the radio. I am still a Futaba guy so all but the elevator servos will be changed to the Futaba 3305MG. I tested these out on a Ugly Stick with a DLE 20 on it with great success. Very strong and quick. The elevators will still be spectrums as the stabs where built just for these servos.
The retracts will stay the same. E-Flite 60cc electrics.
Well here we go. I read some post that where complaining about the covering being loose. As you can see that's not the case with this one.
