Thanks for the link it really did help a lot.
Seems GWS needs to standardize their kits a little as mine had differences from the one in the build , the instructions and from other members.
The overall quality seems good and I am confident that all will end well. I got the impression this was more a park flyer but it really is big, its as big as my .25 size Sig Trainer. Sokay I have a big park. LOL.
It's big, but the "Slow" part of the name is quite appropriate. While I don't recommend this for inexperienced pilots, I've flown mine from the street in front of my house. For reference, I live on a culdesac, at the time I did this mine was the only house, and almost all of the car traffic on the road was mine. The street is lined on both sides by tall trees. I'd say there's only about 60 feet of clearance. With almost constant turning, I was able to fly it just fine. Bottom line, due to its slow flight, it definitely is a park flier.
