i own also a kangaroo from graupner

1 if you buy the set , all the dimensions they say to fit the gear are off even with 5 mm
how to fix it? they state: put a large light behind it end check
if it is correct

2 landing gear valves the manual: it is better to replace the maual valves with electronic one,s ( a well i feel much better now knowing i spend 300 euro,s on a gear wich graupner says replace the valves with electronic ones that cost a 100 bucks a piece)

2a: landing gear in general NOTHING FITTED!!!
all had to be fixed to make it fit and another 3 hours spend
on making it run

3 structual : a well it seems you have to double check their work
because on sopme place it does come loose since the covering is very thin , i suspect i will have the same bang if not fixed before any flight

5 : the servo brackets: very poorly made of some soft wood
even if you would use 10 kg,d servos you would brake them in half i am shure

6 canopy mounting: a well..... i would not fly with their solution

7 turbine mounting ( yes the washers why why why)
i cant see it is it me? why the hell would i need washers ?looks very poorly and shure looks anything then proffesional build
why did they not from the start raised it , even then if you set it up and measure it , its not even center made

8 paintjob: TERIBBLE not even sprayed but VERY thin printed
you clean the kangaroo you will loose the paintjob after ten times

8 alll in all ?? i would not suggest to get the kangaroo of graupner
but buy something else from a smaller manufacturer , since they still care about the finisching touch


anyway looks good , but i would never buy anything turbine related from them again...
