Getting near done, just the stab & engine & radio gear. I decided to use a FM 8channel rcv I had lying around, from a X100 I once had. I dont want to spend anymore on this since I'm also going gas/50cc at the same time. The stab slot was grossly mis-cut, left side 1/8" higher than right, I thought laser cutting was precise??!! I made sure the fin was aligned to the fuse with a right angle ruler, after the glue set, I sighted the fin from the front of the plane, noticed the fin is slightly slanted, the fuse has some twist as well as right warp. Oh well, not much I can do about it now, I found the hatch, thought it was missing. Not thrilled with this ARF, between the China coat, twist,warp, they could do better IMO, they are not the cheapest ones out there either. I hope it flys well and stays together for a while.
