Got my Shinden via UPS today; it is light and beautiful. Am quite pleased with the workmanship and fit of all parts. You know, Matt, I'd kinda like another Shinden! Having had close association with two of these models now (the prototype as well as one of this first run from Xtreme) I can say from experience that this is one fine airframe. I, too, will use the DEPS, short pipe and 160DZ. I've seen, from a callers perspective, what that combination can do. Certainly more than I can at this point, which is the point. The equipment will not be my limiting factor, only the amount of effort I put into practising. Firewall, servos, motor, and we're in the air. Look out D6! Matt, Jon; it'd be nice to see everybody at Dixie this weekend!
