hi Guys,

Over here in Australia the brand is "Awesome RC" and it seems to be the exact same kit. I agree with pretty much everything about the hardware including the elevator control which I did the bend till it breaks test on also. I have been stewing on a good idea for the rudder/tailwheel assembly which you guys have provided thanks, I just couldn't bring myself to use the system they include. Apart from that, if your instruction manual is anywhere as vague as mine than as far as installing the tailwheel bracket/pull pull system, it shows a pixelised picture and saying "install the tailwheel/pull pull system" and thats it.

I have 2 OS46AX engines for mine which I have used genuine OS alloy mounts and JTEC 6-32 vibration isolators which just so happen to give the correct spinner spacing I required. Loving all the hardware provided thus far I also changed the included spinners for 2 polished alloy spinners, after all, semi scale to me means I can change bits so I think it looks better, right? I mounted Hitec HS-81 servos for the throttles and neatly fitted Dubro 10 oz fuel tanks in with them.

When I opened the box and saw the fuse, the first thing I thought was "great, a fibreglass fuse" but was pretty disappointed when I looked a little closer. I went with the retracts provided as an optional extra, which are a bit average also and even with predrilled holes I managed to snap the heads off 2 of the mounting screws before they had made it "home" against the retract unit.

In summary thus far I guess that, as an ARF, semi scale is as per normal is best described by doing the static judging while your doing a flypast, I went for the Comet as she has some very sweet curves and just looks hot. As I opened the box and removed the major parts, I might as well have tipped the rest into the bin as I don't think I have used any of the included hardware yet. They should have sent the instructions in chinese and got infants to draw pictures for them as that would have been more informative. It will be good to see her in the air and at "semiscale" distance
