Status: offline 		Anyone build and fly this ARF yet? Tell us about it. Construction. Instructions. Does the retract wheel look like its going to last? How does it fly? Did you Hi-Start, Winch, or Aero-tow launch it?

Thanks

Patrick

Status: offline 		I just recieved mine, it looks very nice, but the landing gear does look a little week. Im thinking about copying it in aluminum as the mechanism is really pretty, but the plastic, well, it´s chinese. The joiner rod came all warped, so i might get a new stronger one, as this one bends with the hands. The speed brakes look really cool and move smoothly. Ill let you know more as it happens

Status: offline 		I flew mine on Monday after 2 days assembly and I have to say it`s the best glider I`ve had. It flies super fast and slows farely well for landing. I towed it and went up pretty fast. The tow plane pilot stopped climbing and the glider passed the towploane so we had to disengage at about 50 ft. The gliding angle is amazingly flat, so landing was a bit tricky. I used the fantastic gear without a door because I was afraid to break it on landing in our grass strip. The only thing that really sucked was the spoilers, they deffinitly dont deploy because of the slop and resistance of the mechanism, even with the highest torque micro I have (53 oz).

Definitely, the best 140 bucks I`ve ever spent. And also the only chinese plane I have owned that I would ever recommend

Locate a tow hook 10mm or so infront of the CG

Lanpc did it with one.
