I know these planes are not new, I've heard them referred to as the best kept secret in the UK for under $300 but they've been LONG overdue in the USA. I finally got mine today (after waiting since August 15!) so I thought I'd do an official build thread for those interested. First of all I have to say this is the first ARF I've build that was designed especially for electric. The weight is very, very light and the parts are all perfectly covered and the detailis above and beyond in my experience. Wing pins are fitted, the cowl is cut for air cooling holes, the canopy is cut and mounted, the magnetic latch holders are pressed in place, very nice!

I plan on weighing it all this evening, for now here are some pics illustrating the packaging and detail evident even through the plastic. this one is a winner, I can tell and from what I've heard, flies exceptionally well. I plan on using a slight variation for the power, instead of the hacker A50 16S they are recommending, I have opted to go with the hacker A50 14L, it seems better suited to the powerful 6S EVO 5000 packs I intend to run. This motor is 10mm longer than the 16S so I am hoping there is room to push the cowl out that little extra, we'll see as the build continues...

Enjoy!
