I bought a Maxford Mentor with the 26 CC 2 stroke gas engine in July. It assembled easily and it flies beautifully. very slow for learning and will do simple aerobatics.
I would not buy their prop, wheels or switches next time.
I used some Spektrum servos that I had, they were stronger than the ones that were offered as an option. I bought some 5" Sullivan wheels and Dubro Axles to fit. They are bigger and provide smoothe landings than the 3" wheels that came with the plane. They are also closer in scale to the lane.
I braced the landing gear with picture frame wire.
All in all, a very nice airplane.
Thats cool. I see they have a second version of this plane coming out next month I believe. Nobody knows about my frustrations with glow engines which is why I prefer gas. Plus, this airframe would be a good test bed for engines & servos thatcouldgo into a more expensive plane.
