I recently purchased this product from Airworld Germany. I searched the entire internet and (surprisingly) could find zero instructions/build information on this old-but-still-available kit offering from Airworld. If anyone knows anything about this please chime in! In the mean time I'm going to chronicle the build here.

First off, let me say that if you are in the USA I CANNOT recommend purchasing one of these kits. The purchase price seemed quite reasonable to me and their quoted shipping price (approx $550) seemed reasonable. HOWEVER, after Airworld shipped it (yes, AFTER) I found out that I would have to become an "importer of record". I cannot emphasize just how complicated and preposterous this process was. Fortunately Airworld had given me a point of contact to help with the process but It took over a week of incredible effort getting a PILE of paperwork, licenses etc. together to a place where I could actually receive this package (not to mention forwarding my social security number at least a dozen times to god only knows who)! I was SO pissed.

And then the really bad news: the import process required a 6 hour round trip to the nearest international airport (Raleigh) and $1400 more dollars! I was flabbergasted. In my opinion Airword should NEVER have done this to an unsuspecting customer.

So, now that I've vented let's start the build process!


I thought I took more pics of the unpacking but I guess not! Everything was in bubble wrap and all that was encased in the most green packing peanuts you ever saw in your life. IOW well packed.

This shows the GORGEOUS spinner and the SEP 28x18 prop I had Airworld include in the box

I ordered the electron gear package with the kit yet no tail gear was included. Not good! However, the mains are nothing less than bullet proof jewelry. I love them. Yes, the controller is included.
