I was expecting an easy to build kit that was well planned out and high quality due to the cost of the kit. I am hoping these problems we are hearing about are just a few "lemons" that got mixed in with the rest.

It IS a good kit, looks AWSOME and I have seen the baby and the XL fly, they fly very well and are easy to land..

am willing to bet they are same part # as my XL. Covers needed to be trimmed (internally, nothing visible) for 8611s but was no big deal.

Ohmigosh that looks AWESOME. Nice install, excellent packaging. Quite a bit different from my disappointing XL experience just a few months ago. Credit where it's due, excellent job!

The pictures look great!

It also looks like I won't have to "grind" into the new composite fuse retract rails. They do drop in don't they without cutting away at the retract rails?
Thanks,
Don

You would have thought if they had to same problem with the XL it would have been corrected on the Elan but sounds like it wasn't..
