have any of you guys seen or flown this plane? its made by OMP so i have no reason to think its bad quality but its only $279.00 for EVERYTHING. thats with plane, battery, brushless, ESC, radio, charger, 2 props, servos, and an aluminum spinner. someone must have bought one of these by now?

EVOL, the ad is true, it comes with everything listed. The battery charger is a 12v style and charges at about 1/2c rate - not super fast but pretty safe. The airframes are very tough, a lot more than the 3d buddy series I've flown. I've hit my trees in my back yard several times and only poked a few holes in the covering. As far as 3d flying the Kat does very well. My son and I pretty much do everything the bigger planes can do.

I bought the same thing (slightly different in configuration I think) here for $115.

These are shipped direct from China and mine got a bit beaten-up in transit (some holes in the covering and a couple of small bits of balsa broken but stilly flyable).

If you're in the USA you may prefer the "safer" option of buying the OMP version but if you're after a bargain then PeakModel seems to be charging a whole lot less $.

Mine flies okay (yes, the LiPo does take a while to charge) and for $115 RTF, I can't think of better value on the market.

Dear EVOL,
If I were you I would go with OMP ( ANYTIME )
They produce WHAT THEY SAY quality aircraft
and you can even call them on the phone...

I have both of their 80" giant scale profiles and
could not be more happy with the planes and OMP
