Yes the plans are off for the aileron hinge and the cross member support and I haven't seen a kit with this corrected yet. The one thing i haven't figured out is which horn would be better to use. The picture shows the one attached to the aileron surface but I think the spare C clip horns would do better since they are clipped on to the Carbon TE.

I found during the Build the hardest thing was to keep the CA where you wanted it and away from where you didn't. Tapping things in place is fine until you get CA on it.
For those seeming to have problems with the C clip hinges, one person said to boil them to soften them up (5 minutes). I boiled a scrap piece of the plastic from the kit to test it out and it actually does make it easier. You may want to boil only the C sections of the horn on the Rudder and Elevator. But you shouldn't really have to if you drill out the inner edges as the adendum suggests. Drill first and boil if your not comfortable with the C's.

When you get ready to glue the firewall, make certain you have 1degree down and right thrust. If its off it'll make it float a little more than you might like but if you are flying indoors that might be a good thing.

Something I also came across from RCU a while back is use Elmers Polyurathan glue in places where the Foam safe CA doesn't seem to hold or where fill or strength may be beneficial. It takes longer to set but its easier to keep clean, is stronger or is flexible unlike a CA Carbon/Plastic bond.
Polyurathan glue is foam safe, a great filler and cleans up more easily. I'm suprised its not a standard glue where balsa or foam is involved. And if you want it to foam more, spray water on the glue as it sets.
Get electric tape from the local hardware store in the appropriate colours (Red, White & Black) and reinforce the left and Right fuse panels right where the Rud/Elv servos are. Side force rough landings reveal this area to be the weakest point on the fuse. Its to bad they didn't have the 45 degree panels extend over the servos to between the wings.

Oh and where each landing gear crosses the wings LE, put a tie wrap around it. If you really push your flying, especially indoors, you're bound to come down hard on the landing gear. Again Poly glue here works better here. CA fractures from the impact.


Flying is a breeze and plenty of fun. The Kids at the park love it. This kit makes me look like I know how to fly. I used the Castle 10, ThunderPower 3 cell 730, the recommended RimFire and Hitecs O5S/HS55 flight pac. That should bring you in at around the 11 oz mark. But your flatout will get heavier with every repair so getting more than one kit may not be a bad idea!
