Got it today, had it delivered to work to save a little money. She is gorgeous. My initial impression is that it is a very solidly built aircraft, and the covering/finish is superb. I have looked breifly thru the manual and it looks like the typical assembly. I saw a couple of things that I will change, but those look like personal preferences. I am still not sure which pwerplant to use, and to be honest I have not seen one recommended on the box nor in the manual. I am thinking about gas (G-26) but a 1.20-1.50 four stroke should also do well in it. It does not use the old Pica engine mount which was built into the firewall and the manual shows the engine turned about 220 degrees so the head exits the cowl around the 7 o'clock position, It also comes with a transparent cowl to allow you to see your positions before you cut up the gorgeously painted and detailed cowling. The tail feathers and wings feel solidly built, Everything looks hinged, but not glued. I have not taken them out of the plastic yet, so bear with me. It is well packed, in a very large box and nothing was broken, although the outside shipping box did have a small rip in it, the interior box was pristine. The coloring is great, and the covering and painted parts match extremely well. It is a first class job, and one would be hard pressed to replicate it (the average modeler).
Will try and get some pics tonite when I get it home (after 24 goes off...{  })

RE: Cox T-28 Trojan Available!!! (PICA) - 
) Such a cool airplane and it flies great...ideally suited to model form. I had the 1/6 Pica T-28 years ago and it flew like a low wing cub. Very stable and solid. VERY easy to land! I will have to sneak yet another airplane into the shop but that might be difficult given it's huge size and bright orange and white color scheme!!! I think she'll notice it.
