Good heads up there Ronk1,

I see that they did cut very little excess as it wraps under the fuse at that angle... I can see why, as it's a tough spot to cut a straight line on...

I would have wrapped the side convering onto the bottom stringer and cut it on the inside of the stringer.... then covered the bottom and trimmed to the outside of the stringer so I had a full 1/4" lap...

While not a "biggie", report it to Max.. I'll do likewise...

Yeah the rudder is narrower at the top than the WH, but again, with maybe 1.5 lbs less weight, it wouldn't need as much rudder...


Everything looks well made and designed... plenty of room for installation... here are a few detail observations.


I was wrong about the cowls ability to slide back and forth a full 1" or so... the design has the blind nuts installed for the cowl already behind the F1 former. So you need to lap at least that much + a bit for attachment... Unless you change the cowl mounting method/location of blind nuts... which wouldn't be a hard thing to do...

For those who would liek a different scheme, the trim scheme is applied on a solid white plane. A person could easily remove it and have a white plane with the hatch matching the second color... red or teal. The wings, stabs and fuse sides could then be customized to your hearts content...

I kinda like it tho.


Wheels are tough but very lightweight.

Gear seems nice and light but adequate and is prepainted white with two screws holes drilled for securing pants.

Pants are lightweight and ply-supported/predrilled for the axle.

The plane comes with hingepoints and predrilled holes. The holes are even squared to allow the hingepoint to seat properly.

The canopy is pre-painted and has a medium tint.

The wingtube fit is a snug but not annoyingly tight fit.

Covering was well applied with only a small wrinkle or two.

The wings and stabs fit against the fuse nicely with no gaps to speak of.

The cowl is just the right "heft" for this plane... not too thin but not too heavy either... it is painted nicely... I only noticed a couple very small pinholes on the bottom.

The landing gear plate/block looks a little fragile in design, but I notice that it's been pinned in the front (and probably on the sides too) and then tristocked so it should be fine.

All the hardware is U.S., but the wheel collars must go... A set of good DuBro's for $1.89 will solve that problem. Look's like 3/16"

Hardpoints are large ply plates... I like that it allows me to tweak the position of the control hardware.


All-in-all a really nice offering. Duuble boxed and packed well with additional foam peanuts. Comes in two boxes.
