I bought the Explorer L. Just test flew it today the hardwood stick broke in the middle that joins the elevators. Almost crashed because of this problem. I didn't like the hardware either, the pushrods are a joke. I removed the nose gear block because the wood underneath is not sealed. This is a very hard task to do because they used regular nuts not blind nuts. The upside is that the quality is good and it only cost me $78.00 including shipping, and it's hard to beat that.
