    Status: offline     		I spoke with a lady at Hanger 9 last week when I was ordering some parts for another plane and she said the lates word was they would be shipping out to the hobby shops in early April. I have one on order as well. It appears to be an upgraded version of the Pizazz. The wing is removable and it is a better looking plane.

    Status: offline     		Our Hobbytown USA here in Indianapolis received (2) of them this week. The other local shop tells me that they are getting theirs next week. Three coming in. Got my name on one of them!

    I opened the box at Hobbytown and got a good look at the model. Also saw it up close at the Toledo R/C show last weekend. Looks really nice. Covering was extremely well done. I just wish they'd left all the graphics off. I'm not crazy about the purple/pink SWOOPY thing. Wish they'd shipped it yellow and allowed the buyer to add or not add swoops. I could just strip it and re-cover it myself, but that would be counter productive right?

    I'm primarily a builder/flyer. This will be my first ARF in 25 years. But, its cool looking and man, you can't beat the price!

    Status: offline     		I picked up one at the local hobby shop yesterday. I thought the swoop was kinda nice. Much better looking then the Pizazz I think it was designed to replace. I think it will be a great little toss around plane with the Saito .72. Should be a real quick assembly with the one piece wing and all. You won't even need any epoxy, just some thin and thick CA. I got mine for my 9 year old son, now maybe he will leave my Mayhem alone!! Saturday is gonna be my only flying day so I guess this thin will have to wait until next week to throw together.

    Status: offline     		Well I just ordered mine today the 9th. Got the confirmation from Horizon too. Doesn't look like it comes with any acessories though. I'm gonna use my OS 46 FX and futaba 3004's. Hoping RVator will give much assistance in putting it together. hint, hint.

    Status: offline     		Well, after seeing on here that they were arriving at the LHS around the country, I went out to mine yesterday to see if they had gotten any in. They had on the shelf! It had arrived that day. I opened it up to make sure all the parts were there (but didn't do a close inspection), and bought it. Got it home, started assembly, and started hearing something rattling around in the wing...lots of something. Well, I began inspecting, and found that several of the ribs were cracked from front to back, and parts were missing on some of them. It is a very light looking structure, and would likely need those parts! I called the hobby shop, but the guy on the phone said they didn't have another. I got in the car to take it back and get my money back. When I got there, one of the managers said he had one more in the back! We THOROUGHLY inspected this one, and again it came home!

    I got to do some assembly today, and so far it looks like a decent arf. The only problem (on the second kit ) has been that the laser cut servo openings in the wings and on one side of the fuse were too small. A little trimming took care of that. I have Hitec 424BBs all around, but haven't decided on an engine. I have a couple of K&B screamin .48 sitting around waiting for new planes, which I had planned to use...until I saw the ad for the new Saito 82. Same size and weight as the 72, but even more power...don't know if I want to spend the bucks on a new engine or not.

    Status: offline     		Hey P-51B , did it come with hardware? RVator got a US 60 and the openings for the servos were too small in that one too. Being from Horizon they're probably sized for JR servos. Maybe they're a bit smaller. He had to enlarge all of the openings on his. I'm thinking about the FA 72 for it.

    Status: offline     		Hey,
    I just finished mine up tonight. The hardware pack was complete and it all looked good. I used all of it. I went with the Evolution .46, I am waiting on the Saito .82 to come out. I just might have to change it out, I guess it depends on how it does with the 46. I didn't have any problems with it, it went together quick and easy. I am going to try to fly it tomorrow if the weather is good. There is a cold front coming through so it may be too windy. I'll let ya'll know how it goes if you're interested. I had to put the battery all the way up front above the tank to get it to balance in the recommended range. It balanced at 4 5/8" like that. I would rather have it a little more forward to start with, but I am going to fly it right there for now and only add weight if I have too.

    Status: offline     		Hey Bama,
    I will be picking my "Twist" up in the morning and would love to hear how it does with the .46. I planned on buying a Saito .72 to put on it, but it would be nice if my existing .46 or Saito .56 will do the job. By the way, I'm up in Tuscaloosa and plan on coming down to the fun fly in Prattville next month.
