If the Bird Dog you are looking at is manufactured by Giant Scale Planes, I would stay away from it. I know it looks nice, but has a terrible quality. Landing gear will rip out right after first landing. Windows do not fit. Fiberglass fuse is not strong enough to even the slightest crash ( I am talking about flipping the plane over when landing to fast). I had one, and it only lastet 2 flights. It crashed due to my error, but should have survived it with minor repairs needed. It did not ! Fuse broke completely in 2 at cockpit. Firewall came out, and additional cracks where found all over the fuse. The only thing I can say good about it was the covering and paint job. Now, if you are looking at a different Bird Dog let me know.
