Default RE: NitroPlanes 69" YAK 54 - anyone built one ?

It came!!! Like others have said, its the best looking plane I've ever received (this is my first year but my 6th plane - I've had 2 from Great Planes, two from Phoenix, and one from Hobbico). I only saw one 'wrinkle' so far, and it was the kind that disappears in a second with the heat gone - no creases like I found on the Great Planes coverings (all of them).

No damage do the box, well packaged, well covered, beautiful design. Directions are incredibly comprehensive with photographs of an identical airframe

The airframe is assembled with the laser cutouts like a puzzle. I will definitely reinforce with glue where I see fit, but small price to pay for a beautiful $200 aircraft.

Hinges are installed but not glued - they are plastic pin hinges. Small wheels will be replaced, cowl looks great, canopy looks great.
