Glass or pin the firewall in. You WILL rip it out if you don't glass or pin it in.
Buy an extra canopy from

This plane costs less than $100. Engine costs less than $100. I had over $400 worth of servos in mine- but thats not necessary.
This is a GREAT entry level 3D plane. It hovers easily. It does harriers. It torques. It flat spins. It will do anything you can throw at it.
FLY IT SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's NOT designed to fly fast. I wouldn't recommend full throttle unless your going straight up and even then only for a couple of seconds--- then you'd better back off the throttle. It will ACCELERATE when going straight up, with this engine. It can accelerate and go tto fast for the airframe.
Use a 13-5 APC prop and 5% fuel. You won't need a bunch of nitro with the engine/plane combo.
And finally--------TEAR IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
