My 2 cents.

Status: offline 		It still has those basic control horns for a plane that costs $550?
How much was BJ's Monolog 110?
Looks ok. Wish the canopy area was taller. Adjustable H stab angle is what I've thought of doing about 10 years ago with BeatOn 90.
CMP improved a lot, but still lacks on quality. A local guy had firewall area broke out on a 50 size mustang. Not strong enough firewall. Not easy to repair either.

Anyone doing a review for K-Factor?

I wondered the same thing about the price. The plane looks very nice, but I can get a BJ Craft Monolog 110 for quite a bit less ($245 right now) from F3AUnlimited: http://www.f3aunlimited.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8_70&products_id=533

In defence of the Leo it does have an adjustable stab and independant elevator servos. Where as the BJ has only one elevator servo and no adjustments from what I saw, not to mention the weird landing gear.

And the hardware is something I swap out reguardless. I like using Sullivan stainless control horns on my pattern planes with Dubro clevises and Hanger 9 titanium links.

Ordered one...see how it looks when it arrives ??

Please, take a lot of pictures. I would like to see pictures of firewall area, inside of fuselage and if possible inside of fuselage tail section.
If you are an NSRCA member, I woukd recommend a building progress article.

Then you wonder why I support China !

This kind of BS does your economy allot of good.

This email is concerning your NitroPlanes order number
yhst-17210252890263-323455. We have cancelled your order because the items CMP-CP09-086-LEO-V2 are not available for international shipping (over 40 inches). There is no charge to your credit card account. We are sorry for any inconveniences.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reply via
this email address.

Best Regards,
NitroPlanes

F*CK YOU !

Status: offline 		PatternFlyer,

It appears that the NitroPlanes warehouse is located in southern California. There should be no problem shipping to you in the United States (Pittsburg, Kansas). Flyer88 is located in Canada (Calgary, Alberta) which may explain the international shipping restriction. Of course, I could be wrong on all of this. Maybe someone else has a better explanation.

Status: offline 		tewalker01,

yes, I know. Most online stores with at least a few years in business MUST know if the box is too large to ship to Canada by certain shipping method.

Nitro Planes / X Heli / Hobby Partz etc must tell the customers before order is placed.
Common method is adding a single line saying "Oversize box, international shipping is not possible."
Order processing system should also have the item as oversize categorized for each specific item.
Thus, when the customer specifies non-US address, it should show a message about not being able to process the order.

Telling the customer after the order was placed, it a dumb idea. I've had several online orders being cancelled similar way.

No, I will not deal with companies like that.

Status: offline 		I got mine back in early Nov. for 330. The model now has 6+ flights, crappy midwest weather. The build was pretty much by the book except for the tail wheel hardware was a joke and since I used a heavier motor I installed a battery tray, which the manual made no mention of. I also added wing adjusters and it is true that the horizontal is adjustable.

The model flies great and lands like a dream but I am still trimming it. The problem spot has been the landing gear. The left wheel seems to like to leaving the model after takeoff, this is despite having a bit of thread locker on it so I will rework those later. The mounts for the carbon fiber landing gear are sorta weak and I cracked one but my simple mod appears to have strengthened it enough. None of the carbon fiber gear holes are drilled out and I wasn't expecting that. The canopy, while it has, what appears to be an OK latching mechanism, it flew off the model in flight. My thinking is their must be an enough flex in the fuselage to allow it to pop off so I tape it for now.
