Well, have to assume no one else that reads RCU has done one of these - search came up empty... so I ordered mine, and it's arriving next Friday.
I'll be doing it with a Brillelli 60, JR digitals, and will post the build here.... in size, wing area, and target weight, it seems real close to the TOC and BME 30% Yak, and mine is a sweetheart of an airplane combo.
If anyone knows of a build thread, or other info on this bird, let's hear it!

Hi AeroBob, I didn't thing they were available yet as their website said TBA. I even emailed them as to an eta, cost, etc twice and never got a response. If you don't mind, can you tell me what it cost. Thanks in advance,

I ordered mine through Chief Aviation - $639.95, free shipping, and added in a couple of Xoar 23 x 8's (they just got in a new shipment! )
SOMETHING was shipped, as the lady I talked with yesterday said "I'll get it out today", then last evening got UPS Shipment Tracking links.... so.... "something" is coming. We'll see what shows up on the 22nd, I guess!

Bob,
I am hoping you will do a build review. I have been looking at this exact model for the past month or so and am very interested in getting one. It would be my first 30% and I will need lots of advice/info on servos volt reg (if needed ) etc. Also curious on how Chief is to work with. Take lots of pictures please!

No review that I could find. An individual users' ratings and comment. I have NO idea what will arrive in it's box Friday, but I will be doing pics, and a writeup on my website to boot. Mine will be the third 30% bird I've done, so I'm hopeful that trashed-out illiterate instructions won't be too awful for me to overcome.
I will do PLENTY of pics and share the how-to's that I know about, such as they are. I just like doing these.... and love 30% size birds.
Chief Aviation has ALWAYS been first rate, and I've been dealing with them for several years, many purchases.
