I bought one of the above for something to put a spare Leo 37 I had in. My thoughts:

- awful build

Yep, very fiddly for an artf

- too heavy

Yep, mines 4 lbs dead with Leo 37 and mini digis at the back

- impossible to get CoG right (either uncontrolable or too stable for 3D)

Not sure yet only flown twice. Glad I set low rates as it was very twitchy in pitch

- usless cowl

A complete ballache to fit then came loose on first flight

- u/c plate snaps off even with perfect landing

Not had a problem with mine but wicked lots of thin CA in when assembling.

- weak engine mount

Not had a problem so far....

- doesn't bunt

Not sure yet, but I suspect it will be ok.

All in all for a sports plane that'll fir in the car on a trip out maybe its ok, as a little 3d plane I think not. Weight and CG issues I feel will stop it being good.
