i have one of the first ones. aug. 2001 is when i first flew it. mine is all yellow when i received the model from winner rc it had no instructions. after a phone call out west they told me they were working out the details but didn't have one in english. any way i got it together . the build is very good i powered it with a magnum 30 4c. this is a calm day flyer and is a little under powered with the 30 4c. with the limited power you have to keep on top of it when flying. but thats what makes this one fun and challenging. it mostly hangs from the ceiling in my rec. room ( it looks good there). i'll fly it may be next summer when calm. that remines me a had better cycle the batteries its been awhile. p.s. they say the little one flys like a trainer NO WAY. i don't think a beginner would be able to assemble it this is not afirst airplane.
