Whirley,

Be sure you check the back posts on here about the problems with the cabane mounts. Although I think GP fixed that problem on their newer models.

This is a big plane and along with that as I am sure you realize is a big price tag. I have couple of bigger planes and it just really breaks me up to equip these things! If you are buying all this stuff new you will have over $800 in the plane and engine if you go with a good gasser. Then consider good servos,batteries,prop, all the wiring components..... the list goes on and on....... Not at all trying to talk you out of this plane. I have seen one of these things fly and it just might be the best looking ARF I have ever seen. A really beautiful airplane. Good luck!
