Sorry I have'nt posted anything lately. But I've been busy with kids and their sports. Anyway, just to answer a few questions. The one I received didn't have a manual either, but if you have built an ARF before, the manual is just another book with pictures. I found the CG to fall about 2.75 to 3 inches from the LE. and the control throws were about the same as any other pattern flyer. The ignition is mounted behind the firewall and both batteries are behind the fuel tank. Perhaps they could be mounted a little further aft, but I plan on using this as a float plane latter and need the stability. Parts list... The only thing i needed thas wasn't provided was 2 24" servo extentions, switches, batteries, and radio gear. I used Hitec 645MG's all around and a Hitec 425 for throttle. This ,in my opinion, seems to be plenty. As far as power, I have a CRRC 26 on mine, and it has enough power to do almost anything but hover. A 30cc will be plenty enough power to hover with floats hanging from the fusealage. The wing is a one piece, but if you are willing to try, you can make the wings mount to the center hatch with 2 dow pins and nylon bolts. Just be careful not to go too far back behind the main spar as there isn't much stregnth there. As far as flying, I take off about half power, fly a few scale manuvers, then I power up and fly it like a trainer on steroids. I mixed flaps into the allerions and it will fly about as fast as a fast walking pace. One thing I can say is, if you have ever flown a Cub or Taylercaft, then this airplane will be just as comfortable to fly but alot more agile, and powerful.

Please ask me anymore questions you have as I'm sure I forgot something. By the way, I'll have a video to post aswell as soon as i can find someone to hold the camera for me. (Kinda hard to fly and video at the same time)
