Just finished putting mine together. I'm not too crazy about the lack of wing dihedral either because this makes the plane less scale and unstable at low speed.
I had some problems with fit and finish:[list=1][*]The rear of the wing doesn't line up with the belly on the fuselage[*]The cowl doesn't blend in smoothly with the fuselage, even after careful trimming and sanding.[*]The axles on the retracts were bent at the wrong spot, so the wheels won't go into the wheel wells.[*]The bomb decals are just black circles. There are no fuses or sparks. I had to paint the fuses myself.[*]The supplied spinner is not a parabolic mustang spinner. I replaced it with a Tru Turn P-51 spinner.[/list=1]
This plane flies great and sounds great with a Saito 72 four stroke swinging a 13x6 prop. However, it tends to pitch up above half throttle with the gears up. I had to use some down trim on the elevator to keep it flying level. Contrary to what the ads say, this plane likes to land hot. On my maiden flight, I slowed it down to my usual landing speed, and it tip stalled. My Kyosho ME-109 is much easier to land. Nevertheless, it is still a great looking plane.
Here are some pictures of my Short-Fuse Sallee:
