Thanks Tim. Yes, the sun is a SOB here, all year long with a "winter" of around 80ºs F. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Puerto Escondido, did you have lots of sea food?

Thanks my friend I agree that the ARF version doesn't look very good, I didn't like the scheme either and I was lucky enough to get the kit covered without any problem. A good thing about covering this plane is that everything is straight, blunt and square, so the covering process is very straight forward.


Graham, I envy you, I'm sick of sweating like a pig. Period

Thanks for the compliments man! and wellcome to our group therapy

Don't be affraid, just pick an easy target for your first kit. I've heard the 4-Star or the Tiger-2 make great first kits, and don't forget the Dazzler, you've seen in this thread how "easy" it was.

As for the airplane per-se, I found it a little boring, it's not very fast, lacks rudder authority, very difficult (for me) to keep in a hover.... and I'm affraid that it will tear up in flight

I think it would be a great third or fourth airplane though, it's the kind of plane that goes where you point it to.

I'm used to the flying caracteristics of the (heavy) Seagull Extra 300 I usually fly, where I have a somewhat big dependancy on mass/momentum, and need to fly it all the time, with the Dazzler I feel like I could just fly it hands off and move the sticks only to stop it from crashing, I don't know, I must need another kind of therapy now
