I want to know if someone has this airplane. I opened the box it looks pretty good, any thoughts on the quality of this plane and the retract landing gear are they good.
cost $189.99 Hobby People has it on sale on the 4th for 149.99
the spec:

Wing Span: 57 Inches
Wing Area: 600 Square Inches
Overall Length: 55.5 Inches
Flying Weight: 5.25 -5.75
Wing Loading: 20.2-22.1 ounces per square foot

I've been wondering about this plane and how it relates to the Aresti....
It appears to be allright and a good flier, but I guess ita hasn'tr received the attention teh Aresti is receiving..
(marketing is better for H( than Global perhaps??)
Please let me know how it flies..
Regards,
Patrick

I got one of these specifically for a contest I'm going to in Hawaii in Dec. I'm not a pro 3D flier by any means but I have won a few contests.

I bought it on sale at HP and really liked the completeness of the kit. Retracts included was a total bonus as was the real fiberglass cowl. Cowl's have historically not been my best skill, so I was really pleased that you get a clear dummy cowl to mark on before you start cutting up the glass one. Pull-Pull rudder hardware and the typical eleveator pushrod from a ARF (not installed, used carbon rod instead on elevator). Fuel tank hardware was better than many kits. Painted canopy is quite nice. The color sceme wouldnt have been one I personally chosen, but it is ok for a ARF.
I put in a OS 60 and used the included prop (but may change to a Zingali or Scimitar) and spinner. I used a Futaba computer radio, driving the 2nd aileron servo on Ch7.

Its a pretty nice plane in my hangar now, I'll let you know on flight performance once I get real comfortable with it.

i was just curious how well it takes off on grass with those small wheels
