Backwing:
That Kyosho looks like a good airplane, and it does look like an easy build. The only thing I don't like about it is the wing bolts on. Unless it's a different design than the NexSTAR's. The NexSTAR had 1 wooden dowel that locks in the leading edge of the wing, and a nylon bolt that secured the trailing edge. It was supposed to shear off in the event of a hard impact to protect the fuselage - Good theory but it didn't happen. So for someone still looking to get into some kind of trainer, I would recommend one with rubberbands. Just a personal preference since I had a bad experience, but if my NexSTAR had rubberbands, it would have likely been salvageable. Other than that it looks like a nice, quick-put-together trainer. How aerobatic is it? I'm not trying to take over the thread, but I think this info will be helpful to poorkid.
