I am excited!

ps - I will be doing a complete build and review on another forum. I'll drop the link here once I decide on which forum and create the thread.

I just finished assembly of the 30cc version. Maiden flight just this past Thursday. It flew great. Everyone at the field was impressed with this plane, especially after I told them what I paid. I did not order any upgrades but it did come with a carbon wing tube. I got mine through RC Jets World ebay store but will buy directly from their web site next time. I agree with the previous statement, best kept secret in RC.

Nope, it is this one. My son took this picture this morning as I taxi to the runway.
It was $275 shipped to my door from RC Jets World. Flew it again this morning and I cannot say enough good things about it. I now have 4 flights on it, about 10 minutes each. The DLE 35RA on this thing is more than enough. My last flight today I rolled about 10 feet down our grass runway and then went vertical - I mean straight up. Backed off the throttle and did a beautiful tail slide. When set on high rates, this thing dolls faster than you can count. Flat spins and snap rolls are super tight and easy to control. Tons of fun and great bang for the buck.
I did go though it and add quite a bit of glue. From what I have seen though, even the best quality name brand stuff out there requires this.

On ARFs like this that you guys buy what type of glue do you use to re-enforce the factory glue? Do you use a grade of the CA type glue, or do you use epoxy to reinforce all of the joints?
