I had the original version and liked it a lot except fpr the fact it didn't like to fly slow. Any slow speed high bank turn and it would snap out. Landings had to be a bit hot, with speed until just above the runway. Don't remember any problem with the quality or assembly. I had fun with it, but wouldn't get another one, just not my type of flying plane. After all it COULDN'T be my piloting skills.....
