My Super Sterman was assembled per the manual, no exception. The throws are just right for me, and the plane performs quite scale like. I am using a Zenoah G-26 and have adequate power. I don't take the wings off except for servicing, and it fits in my Chevy Astro Van easily. When I take the wings off, I take the bottom wing off, and then the top, leaving the cabanes on the fuse, and the N struts on the top wing, that way you need to take out only eight bolts. One of the best in my stable.....Cliff
