Okay guys here we go. Pleasant peerson on the other end of the phone. Recieved it in 4 days. The fuse is a nice fiberglass. All flying surfaces are built up. My wings had a soft balsa rib in the right wing, some triangle stock beefed that up. The retracks remind me of the spring-air type, air up spring down. The hardware is good for a sport model.
So far I have the wings together. No problems here, went together fine. One of the ailrons were sanded about a fat 1/16" off. These are tough to do with the elliptical wing. No there's no sanding involved, I'm just commenting on the work done at the factory. The opening for the H-stab needs a little sanding at the seam to slide on in. The covering is nice. The camo is painted on the covering. Some small areas pulled off with the tape on my left wing ,when joining them. The tail feathers went together no problem. I'm waiting on an inverted slimline to mount my engine. I'll be using an OS 120 FS, Futaba 9202 servos & everything else will be what came with the kit.
Over all a nice arf. Its going together strait, should be a fun semi-scale plane. And it looks like a spit not like some of those sport scale ones out there.
