Following impressions upon opening the box:

First of all, this is one well built and sturdy plane. Everything is massive and thick. I can see why people are hitting 19 lbs. when not careful. I aim to keep it around 17 lbs. and will most likely will have to sub CF parts to reach this goal.

Second, on the 2 vs. 4 servos for aileron issue. Rather than remove covering and modify this extensively, I will just go ahead and install 4 8411s and matchers. Too much time will be consumed on removing this great covering and I don't want to hurt the looks.

I agree with all the comments on the Lanier Edge thread about the screws used for aileron and elevator horns. What is provided in the kit is soft and not up to par with such a model. Furthermore, there are discrepencies between the parts described in the instruction and what is actually provided - bolts are genrally longer than the instructions describe. No question in my mind this would have to be replaced with either DuBro 913s or the H9 8x32 (Rocket City) type bolt sets.

Too bad the holes, or pilot holes, are not already drilled in the hard points. It's a pain to drill straight through a bevelled surface. The instructions suggest to drill from the top and then from the bottom. I don't see how this can work and how one can meet the hole already made from the other direction? I'd rather try and drill a small pilot hole using a press and enlarge it later on for 8x32s.

The instructions themselves are quite loose and rather lacking. Not enough detail for my taste as it compares to a GP or H9 ARF. I guess an experienced modeler would not have issues with missing descriptions, but I like to validate everything. For this reason, the RCU threads are a very important source of information.

There are no instructions for installing a pull-pull and saving tail weight when using a DA-50. It does not seem overly complex if one carefully builds the servo plate and cross bracing in the fuse. This servo will have to support quite a lot of stress as it is.
Does anyone know if intalling a cantilever type thing provides any benefits? I was just going to use the metal brace support that installs on top of the servo, but connect the wires directly to a 3" SWB or H9 pull-pull arm.

Other than that, I'll take some pictures and post them soon. The parts look very nice...
