I got mine a couple of weeks ago. When It arrived, I was pleased with the quality. I found the whisker for the rudder steering a bit of a problem, but I drilled the nylon bearing in the horizontal stab and it seems to work better. When I got it I tried a variety of motors I had on hand with "X" mounts and they wouldn't fit. They included AXI 2826, and Eflite Power 46. I decided to get the recommended Rimfire so as not to destroy the firewall. Make no mistake, this is a .40 sized plane. The Rimfire finally arrived and now I have to install connectors on my Phoenix 60 ESC. I use Sermos or Powerpoles. I'll also be using a Castle BEC as the battery will be a 4-cell A123. One more thing, I will probably relieve the center hole in the firewall where the back of the motor goes. It's a little tight. I'm using HS-81MG servos and replaced the wheels with Dubro super light 2 3/4 inchers. I fly off grass.
