Default will it fly ???

I saw this on an auction site: 5992567614

Turbine Trainer w/ WREN 54 Turbine RTF! TURNKEY

Information Specific to Airframe:
This plane is based on a modified and reinforced Right Flyer (Global Models). Control surfaces are rudder, elevator, ailerons, and flaperons (requires basic mixing capable transmitter). The stabilizer and wing have been both modified and reinforced (see pictures). The wing assembly attaches to the fuselage via the conventional method of rubber band. However, I utilize the #84 heavy-duty rubber band (each capable of carrying a load of 15 pounds I'll include a package). In addition, the wood dowels that attach the wing to the airframe have been replaced with stainless steel rods, supported with epoxy-impregnated Kevlar. While many of the components and structures have been reinforced, the goal was to create a trainer aircraft, not an F16-like-super-aerobatic rocket. Plane weighs approximately 11.5 pounds dry.


Will it fly or crash and burn ?
Will it come down in one piece, or shred itself in the air?

I have seen poorly assembled ARF trainers fall apart, fold a wing, have the firewall come loose.....all with cheap 2-strokes on them.


and can I say E-barf here?
I know I am not supposed to mention the competitors name
