Sorry to butt in on the Flatout love-fest...

[:-]

TO funny guys!

I have built 5 of them, mostly for other people. I'll admit the first one was a real pain due to the funky instruction manual. But once you get through the first one they are very easy to build. Best advice (already mentioned) read the instructions time and time again and pre fit all the parts. (for the first one anyway)

Out of the 5 I built only one hinge broke during the build. IMO the best one of the bunch is the Reflections. I'm am currently flying one, it now has 68 flights on it. The flight times per flight are 15 to 20 minutes. Well over 100 landings too. I'd also say that it is the STRONGEST plane I've ever flown/crashed. I can't count the times it has smacked the deck while messing around close to the ground The 3D abilities of the Reflections is awesome!
One thing about it though, you have to know how to fly the rudder with this plane. It doesn't like to fly on one stick [:@]
