RGreen, this IMPACT was the standard color scheme, not the red and white. But IF I were to get one, I would get the red and white and paint it myself. The stock scheme is much too busy.

I weighed the stab/elevator assy and rudder on my friend's IMPACT and thought these are much too heavy. The stab (including servos and linkages) is 12 ounces and the rudder is 3 1/2 ozs. This is an area that serious weight can be saved, especially for the guys building electric power into this model. These parts can be built from standard balsa veneered foam for half the weight.

Be that as it may, the model is of typical weight (about 10 1/2 lbs) with an internal combustion engine set-up, so even with the heavy tail, it's not terrible.
