The plane is real nice to fly. I set it up on low rates, and it did every thing we asked it to due. the plane can fly real slow and did not show any bad traits.
we have 2 flites on it . I will post more info as I get more time on it.


About the plane.
Out of the box it is real nice all the covering is perfect the fus is built real soild. I like the built in vert.stab.
all of the parts are good quailty. (did not like the 2 1/2 stockwheels to small)
the built was standard hanger 9. every thing when together nice ( 2 evenings)
I cut out a vent on the bottom of the fus. their is a 1"x5" pattern in the bottom of the fus just behind the wing just cut the covering out.
next. mount the motor:
I drilled four 1/2 holes in the fire wall for venting.
Next center the x Mount on the X that is on the fire wall. mark your 4 mounting holes.
use a 1/8 drill to Drill the 4 holes then drill it out for a #8 screw.
at this point I was going to use T nuts on the back of the firewall But the bracing is in the way.
So what I did was use 3" #8 /32 screws put them in from the back side of the fire wall. I used a small washer on the back side and a large washer and nut on the motor side.
use medium blue loctite.
then I used 1 1/2 spacers and mounted the motor on the 4 screws as seen in the pictures.

I mounted the ESC on the bottom of the fire wall just below the motor using cable tie mount.

then I bult a battery tray that fits in were the fuel tank would be the 4 batterys fit perfect.
the CG was right on.

I will keep posting more info
