FYI.....Working on mine now . Was a recent purchase and found one serious fault. The servo cutout on the left side of the fuselage for the elevator is much too low. If the servo is mounted as is and using the same length servo arm as on the other side, the angle of the push rod to the elevator horn differs greatly from that of the elevator hook up on the other side. This will result in having different amounts of throw of the elevator halves per same transmitter stick input. Not good!
My solution will be to make a servo cut out at same height as on other side of fuselage. Will require reversing one servo with radio using separate channels on the elevator servos or a reversing servo extension if using a y harness.
A little extra work but overall still a nice looking well built airplane.
