$159 seems very pricey for this plane. I bought one on ebay a few years ago (i think for much less). It is a well-built plane -- foam-sheeted wings and fully sheeted fuselage. The instructions are terrible. They contain absolutely no photos, only a list of tasks -- "1. Assemble plane. 2. Install suitable radio and engine. 3. Fly." The landing gear is made up of two separate aluminum pieces that bolt into a hardwood piece inserted into the foam wings. I did not have a problem with mine, but they seemed weak. I flew the plane with an os61fx, which was more than enough power and still required quite a bit of noseweight. The plane looked good when finished and flew ok. It rolled very well, but it's heavy for its size and needed some speed to fly. It tip-stalled pretty severely, especially in loops, even with the recommended elevator throw. Overall, I say life is too short -- for $159 you can get a more modern design that is lighter, flies better, and is more fun. Even if the plane were much cheaper, I'd pass.
