I just got one of these for my buddy for his birthday, and today we were fondling all the bits. I was very impressed with the quality of this ARF, and the covering job. Seems like a terrific value. Nice fiberglass cowl too. Comments I have read on RCU say it is heavy.. but I don't see that, the fuselage seems very light, the wings are "normal" weight for wings that size to me. The tail surfaces seem a hair heavy, but nothing to write home about. This is all subjective I realize but I've handled a few models in my time. We're going to put an Enya .80 4C in it, based on other's comments 4C .72-.82 power is a fun combo with this. I took issue with the ".40-.50" 2 cycle and ".52" four cycle recommendations, seems to me if you want a gentle scale flier then the .52 is perfect, but nearly all the comments I've read indicated it seemed to be crying for more power.
I'll check back once we get it in the air. And I/we do plan to roll the throttle on gently on takeoff..
