You are going to have lots of fun with the Bixler, I know, I have the original version for over a year or so, take a look at the link posted below it will give you an insight of the many mods you can do to it, I did a few not all of them, since I knew that I was going to push the Bixler to the max I reinforced the wings with the tape, the fuse with the carbon shaft, the horizontal stab, also did a mod where I can take the tail feathers off and now I'm able to put the airplane back in the box the way it came plus radio, batteries and the few other things I need to fly her
