Had one and flew the heck out of it.
Its last flight was a week or so ago when I was bringing down for it last landing.
Touched down on the ground and the gear just gave away from the fuselage and the plane cartwheeled over.
The firewall came out.
Was planning on retireing the airplane as I'm getting a used Sig Mayhem from a buddy to fly around.
You are right this is a very fun plane to fly and had a few issues with the build but solved them pretty easily.
The battery went under the fuel tank and the receiver was put into the cockpit area.
I ended up putting alot of weight on the nose to balance it out and that was with a saito 100 on the nose.
Here are a couple of pictures of mine.
