Flying Fiz, I hate to break it to you but it's not worth that kind of money at all unless you like to do additional work and tweaking. The hardware is ****.. and I'd replace the pushrod for the tailwheel for a stronger one right away. Mine bent the first run out. Definitely reinforce the landing gear are as much as possible. It flies OK, but seems like it needs a bit of additional down thrust and/or the stated CG in the manual is too far back for sure. I'd start at the 5 1/4" mark and no further back.

Not to break your spirits on it, but just to provide a true perspective of what you're getting into
