Hello
Man if you have decent covering skills the Rippy Pro(3D sport version) masters class fun fly is an awsome plane to have. It is light, and super strong(mostly fiber glass spars). I just built one with Jeff Gilbert(owner of Diamond Dust RC) and he flew the piss out of it today. Mine is setup with a TT36 engine, four 811 digital servos(HS81 for throttle), Berg 5 Rx, and a 720mah 5 cell for the Rx. My plane weighs about 2.5 pounds with no fuel.
The only problem I had was programming my 10sx heli radio for this plane. All I can say is it was a pain but I got it all programmed using 6 mixes and a lot of thinking.

I suggest that you call Jeff, he is an awsome guy deal with.
