I brought one of these home this week. A good friend has the .40 size and he really likes it.
I have had consistent bad luck with ARf's in the past. Every one has required me tearing off covering to do major repair new out of the box. I may get lucky for the first time, with this one.
I have inspected it top to bottom, and so far I can find nothing cracked or broken, nor have I found any poorly glued parts.(thats a first for me) The covering is above average and the wood looks to be decent balsa and lite-ply. The control horns and hinge installation was all done at the factory and looks to be done correctly. I have one aileron with a bit of clicking, but I can correct that.
The wing dowels are to large for the matching holes in the fuse wing saddle, but the do line up. It will require I open the holes just a bit to allow the wing to seat in place properly. Not a major issue and should require just a few minutes to get right. Other than that I can find nothing to gripe about so far, and that makes me pretty happy for a change. Usually at this point, I am irritated that I have to start a major correction/fix before I can even begin assembly. I think this will be a very nice flying airplane. I am hoping I can assemble it per the instructions, and get it ready to fly without any major issues that take me away from a plans building project I currently have going. So far I see none[sm=thumbup.gif]
