I'm getting closer and more excited!

It is very good quality except the hardware, it's too light.
I spoke with one of the guy's at Kangke and he suggested better hardware if you are going to do extreme 3D.

The plane is about 4 days from complete at my current speed.
Im on spring break this week so I should be able to spend more time with it.

Guesstimated weight is about 16.5lbs, still at the bottom of the advertised weight of 16-18lb.
