Default RE: Boomerang TORUS build thread

I just got mine today as well. Threw it together for a pic on the pool table.

Highs:

-Its' big!
-Nice fiberglass work
-The wings and stab are built up and look like they're covered and then clearcoated!?!?!?
-Nice sullivan hardware package - all completely usefull and it looks like they're precut
-2 light carbon wing tubes - seem very strong (no flex like I saw on an Elan)
-Really good packing job
-Big wing cord
-Full set of wing bags, stab covers, etc. - even storage for the wing tubes down the side of one of the boom bags
-Both standard and tip tank wing ends supplied

Lows:

-Doesn't look like a lot of room in the fuse (I want room for smoke!)
-The yellow in the sport scheme is pukey (yes I said pukey)
-Those stupid combination servo mount/hatch. No way am I gonna bolt a 250+ oz servo to a couple of flimsy plastic servo rails.

Plan to post more pictures/build later.
