Absolutely a quick easy build. Literally complete in less that 3 hours. The instructions were better than the shockflier but still slightly lacking.
3 areas that slowed me down because I had to think (but were obvious after I did) the aileron/elevator control horns - make sure the short ones go on the ailerons (the hole goes over the hinge line), the screws that hold the wing/horizontal stab are different lengths, the short ones go on the back - the mounting system is a little cheezy, those screw holes in the back arent going to last, and it was a bear to get those plastic thingys to hold on the wing, the last thing to slow me down were the pushrod guides - wow, were they fun to glue in or what? And just when you think you got it glued in perfectly, it breaks off while you try to put the pushrod through the hole. Overall, extremely well thought out. It literally fell together, these issues are so minor I'm almost embarassed to post them.
Flies like its a lot bigger than it is - no bad habits to report, but I'm still trimming/mixing mine, So far, everything is very straight forward. I cant remember the last time I had an airplane exceed my expectations like this one, its a real winner.
