hope you got the all wood monokote covered version. there is a older one that is covered with stick on covering and plastic wingtips and plastic tips on the tail surfaces. about 14 months ago i got suckered into buying one from tower hobbies when they had avistars on sale. i thought the price was to good to be true. turns out it was the older one they were clearing out but they did not advertise it as that one. it flys alright but those plastic wingtips get brittle and break after time and the stick on covering has no shrinking quality at all.
