Flimsy? No! Designed for a "low timer"? No ....but for those with some stick time after a trainer on at least one low winger.....oh boy! This is one nice flyer. I think that a lot of negative flap about glueing being taken way out of context. How much of what kind of glue did you expect to see in this size model, designed for e-power? This is not a combat model. This model is for those who know how to fly and want to enjoy this size in e-power. Kudos for the designers!!
