Excellent advice so far... I just recently built a Blackhorse Super Air, it was by far the best Artf that I have built sp far. Every fitting in the kit was way above the usual standard for ARF's. It even included two different aluminium mounts, 1 for 4 strokes and another for two strokes!! All the hinges, were proper hinges, not just a bit of hairy mylar. They were all pre-installed and PINNED. The only thing I changed was the throttle linkage. I used a sullivan golden rod instead of the wire in tube provided. That was only because I used a 4 stroke motor and needed to get the linkage round a few shallow bends. If I had been using a 2 stroke motor, I would have gone with the supplied linkage. Make sure that you use a bit of Loctite thread lock on all nuts and bolts, especially on the motor mount to firewall area and the motor to motor mount. Some on the wheel collets will prevent embarrasing moments when your wheels fall of just before landing


Pay special attention to, and spend lots of time on making sure that ALL flying surfaces/ linkages are as slop free as you can get them. This will pay dividends when it comes to trimming out your new model.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU DOUBLE CHECK THE CG POSITION..... It will prevent your ARTF becoming a kit all over again.
