Just finishing one up. Yes it does have some poor design on wing struts but with a little work you can over come those problems. For the price not a bad kit. I have a YS 120 for power. Coupled upper ailerons to lower with a rod and will use a servo in lower wing. Wish there was some way to remove lower wing without the gear strut being disconnected. Over all weight seems OK but have not put it on the scales.
