I got one also from ZigiRC and have it about done except for plumbing the retracts. It's a lot of ARF for the money with the main and tail retracts, oleos, spinner, and cockpit/pilot included. Got a DLE55-RA in it and it fits with no cutouts at all except the plug tip. Went together well but I'm expecting it to be a challenge to get the fiddly gear doors to work. May need to go to servo door operation with a sequencer. I like the way the control surfaces are hinged.

It has very pronounced washout, so should be tip stall resistant. It's not true scale but looks pretty good, the only really noticeable off-scale bits are the odd-shaped main gear doors (which they had to do to get the wheel to pull the door shut without interfering) and oversized chin scoop.
