I got one of these specifically for a contest I'm going to in Hawaii in Dec. I'm not a pro 3D flier by any means but I have won a few contests.

I bought it on sale at HP and really liked the completeness of the kit. Retracts included was a total bonus as was the real fiberglass cowl. Cowl's have historically not been my best skill, so I was really pleased that you get a clear dummy cowl to mark on before you start cutting up the glass one. Pull-Pull rudder hardware and the typical eleveator pushrod from a ARF (not installed, used carbon rod instead on elevator). Fuel tank hardware was better than many kits. Painted canopy is quite nice. The color sceme wouldnt have been one I personally chosen, but it is ok for a ARF.
I put in a OS 60 and used the included prop (but may change to a Zingali or Scimitar) and spinner. I used a Futaba computer radio, driving the 2nd aileron servo on Ch7.

Its a pretty nice plane in my hangar now, I'll let you know on flight performance once I get real comfortable with it.
