Default Funstar 3D is unbelievable

If you are looking for an inexpensive 3D plane then here it is. I received my Funstar 3D on Friday and flew it Sunday. I was real impressed with the way it flies, the way it does 3D and the building quality. It is extremely light. Mine weighs in at 4 lbs, 8 ounces with an OS 46FX and 750 ma battery. This is the first ARF that I have seen that comes with the control surfaces already attached with pinned hinges and pins pushed through the hinge to hold it in place. That's how I build all of my planes. The horizontal stab and vertical stab fit perfectly as did the wing. Because of the transparent covering you can see the workmanship that went into the plane and I was very impressed. Everything was layed out the way it should have been with splices in the spar, leading edge and trailing edge being offset from one another the way they are suppose to be. The covering quality is excellent. I only got 3 flights in with it and I am going to have to move my battery back to get the CG the way it needs to be. It flies very light and it is extremely responsive.
