I am just finishing up on mine. Not a bad plane but has a few shortcomings. The furnished metal push rods and most bolts are JUNK, very soft low grade. Figure on replacing all of that right off. I went to the Sporting goods store and purchased coated metal braided line to use for the Rudder control cables, 35 lb. rated very easy to work with and I can trust it. Just a few bucks for 35 feet.
I purchased Hitec landing gear Servos but did not enjoy setting up the gear. Had to remove some wood to mount the servos and the furnished push-rods bent right off, replaced those with good stuff. In retrospect I think the Hobby King retracts would have been a better choice, no external servos and cost about the same as the servos I used.
I have a Turnigy 32cc that runs well and put a Pitts muffler on it , still had to remove some from the cowl for the exhaust side but it really is not a problem.
Still have balancing to do.
