Got mine last week, and all the ancillary goodies (servos, glue, better tail wheel assembly, etc.) arrived today. I intend to do a build thread (since it hasn't been done on this one yet); with any luck, I'll begin that tomorrow evening. But since the FIRST thing to do is go over the covering with the trusty iron, I may not start the thread for a few more days.

I did unpack the airplane. Its about what you'd expect; well-built airframe, covering acceptable but by no means exemplary. Good hardware pack, at a reasonable price ($50 extra; this is explained on Tom's web site).

Don't like the looks of the included main gear; it seems rather flimsy. Anyone have any ideas for a replacement? My first thought was TNT, but their stuff, while very tough, is also very heavy. Guess I'll have to cough up for C/F. Anyone know of an off-the-shelf unit approximately the same size?

Anyway, stay tuned. This thing is incredibly light, as advertised.
