Default RE: Are FlatOuts any good?

I am on my second turmoil ,I must say i learned a bunch of tricks from the first one.As far as the control sufaces popping on and off easily you can forget it,The little horns break too easily,The pushrodes are way too thin,They bend and flex too much the little supports that are suppose to help didnt work for me,so i glued some extra wings support rods to the aileron and elevator pushrods ,They are very sturdy now,And if you say you can build this plane in 2 hours your lying! I would love to see who built it in 2 hours ,I have to say this was my very first r/c airplane,and i know i was crazy for starting with something like this but at 19.99 a plane im not worried about it.That being said my second plane is much prettier than the first one! And i really like it,You just better take all the time needed to build it.I even glued the wing on upside down on the first one!! Lmao!..If it wasnt for realflight g3 i would have buried this plane in the ground right off the bat,But i handlaunched for the first flight and everything went well, the plane fly's really well.Good luck.
