Default RE: New Pattern Plane?

Hi guys

Got mine today. All safe and sound. I am at work so I can only give first impressions.

Packing is good, no damage. Shipped UPS and box was a little dinged but plane is OK.

Hardware looks complete.

Covering job is among the best I have seen so far. Very few wrinkles or miscues. Will be able to see more when I get it out of the plastic.

Cowl and wheel pants are plastic. Color match looks good so far, see above.

Instructions have a little more information than what is described above but you will need to call on your prior building experience as you assemble the airplane.

I have an OS71FSII slated for the airplane and just bought 5 of the new Futaba S3151 digital servos for it. Will mount the radio last and use it to get a proper center of gravity but don't foresee a major balance problem. May have to mount the rudder servo in the tail along with the elevator servos.

I will let you know how it goes.
