Let me chime in here. I hve the 3D witch from Cedar Hobbies. I paid 74 bucks for the plane and another 23 for shipping for a total of 97 bucks at my door. To be completely honest, If I had paid $150 for this plane I would be PISSED!!. I am a self proclaimed cheap skate and am always looking for a good deal and I saw this plane on Ebay so I bought it without any research what so ever. There are definitely quality issues with this plane before it can be considered "quality".
1. The "Aluminum Gear" is wire and bent wrong.
2. Most of the hinge slots don't match and not cut deep enough.
3. The servo mount does'nt allow you to install a servo w/o mods
4. The tank must be shimmed to clear the throttle servo.
5. Wing opening required shimming with 1/16 balsa in 3 or 4 places.
There is also some good:
1. It's light-Mine came in @ less than 4.5lbs AUW.
2. Except for the rudder, the control surfaces are as big as my deceased Accel Katana.
3. The covering is the same as what came on the first run Accel Katanas.
4. It's CHEAP!!
I have yet to fly mine(good days are hard to come by this time of year in MI). I'm definitly not a 3D Pro, but I fully expect it to be a capable airplane. I will let everone know when I can. So make your own decision, I don't work for Cedar, I just bought an airplane that wouldn't break the bank and If I crash it, I'm out less than a C-Note.
