Default RE: Icepoint build up.

Jon no problem the Bravo that I have is the newest pattern type version. as far as I can figure there are 3 generations of this AC out.
the early pattern ones have a bottom hatch and the wings plug into the fise, and this version has a top hatch and the wings are still 2 pice but it sits in a saddle and the canopy then goes on top of this. (It is also Laser cut so look for the char marks on the cutouts to ID it)

overall it is a good flying smaller sport pattern. I am running a ST.91 in it
and have good vertical (practicing AMA 402 pattern) and it does the vertical manuvers well. and trimmed out good.
I was soso on it for a while (not locking in on a kline for example) but I upgraded the servos to the new JR digital 811 servos and it was night and day. locks right in and stops rolling when you want it to and has very few bad habits. some roll coupling. I programed it out with a rudder to ailerion mix. (about 10% BTW)

The wing could be lighter, but the fuse is very nice and light, supplied hardware was used and was decent quality.
I give it 3 out of 4 wing overs.
