Default RE: A bit disappointed in the Dynam Sky Trainer

I generally do what I call trimming on them before I go for any flying. I do a visual inspection and control test and then take them out and do some taxiing and short liftoffs to set the trims. I then take it home and readjust all the clevises so that neutral is as close to straight taxiing/flying as possible.

Years ago I used to fly the Cox foam 049 Cessna a lot. Loved the simple easy to fly, and build, design. I just feel to call a plane RTF shouldn't require 2-3 hours to finish. I've seen many RTF's advertise 5 minutes from box to RTF. I guess I expected that from these RTF's. Putting on decals and gluing parts takes quite a bit of time. The E-Flight Apprentice 15e was pleasant to finish while the 2 Dynam's were a challenge.
