Had the maiden on mine last weekend, flies like a dream!
Haven't attempted anything major yet but from first impressions i think i'm gonna really enjoy carving up the sky with this little bipe.
I have fitted mine with a Just Engines .56 engine (a .56 in a 40 size case!) and first flights were done with a 11x6 prop, but will increase this now the engine is a little more run in!
The engine purple color is exactly the same as the covering, and have used a Bison pitts muffler. Have also added some wing wires for a bit of fun.
Servos standard size except wing where i've used a HS225MG which is a perfect fit and gives a good response.
Wing servos could be mounted out at wings using a knife and a little techinque, but i think that the hs225mg gives more than enough grunt for this plane, no need to overspec.
I put another layer of finishing resin on the firewall and used a bit round inside also just to seal up nicely, but was impressed by the quality of this kit, especially for the price.
All up weight (dry) of mine 4lb 14oz.

James,
Looking at buying this plane and am just asking around to get a sense of it. Some questions:
1. What would you say your all up weight was with a full tank?
2. What size wheels are they and how do they (and pants) do on grass? My field is a bit rough (two to three inch grass with random small bumps and holes!)
3. I'm assuming it uses ONE servo for the ailerons ... correct?
Thanks,
Colin.
