As an ARF, it is a pretty awful airframe...poor glue (hot) joints, poor engineering, lousy hardware...and the list goes on. I pretty much re-engineered the whole thing. Covering is dreadful. But some might say, "...well...it's only $125!" But other manufacturers produce ARF's in this price range that are much better.
Watch out Bo - When I said the same thing, Twinman and W.R. wanted to fight ! They thought it was GREAT!
Maybe I got an "early production model" also, and was told it would be replaced. But......
I'm still waiting!?!?!
