Well I agree with what you are saying and thanks for the inputs. You must have a lot of free time to care this much. Il put it down for you, I interpreted RTF as ready to fly (no break in, everything ready to go and extra info in the manual if you so need it).

That surprised me. The right stick on my transmitter is set up just like the throttle. I thought this was normal but if not, please tell me because I did crash it because of a snap. It did really make it difficult to fly and I can always send the TX over to nitro so they can see that. Who knows but I dont expect that nitro will fork over a new plane. I dont have time to look down to see if my elevator is in neutral and I think I had to much up elevator in my turn no more than half throttle and bamm. I guess the entenna is my fault but they could of made it to where it was more durable. You said that you used tubing and that seems like a great idea but then again this is a RTF/ parkflyer. It is obvious that the entenna needs to be uncoiled and run outside the hatch because of the predrilled whole...so its logical that you tape it right? I mean you cant run it inside the fuselage because it will get blended up. Yes I was pretty bummed because I dont have an impressive crash rate (this would be my second) but I do feel that it was not entirely my fault. I do wish they would of given me info about the throws and flight speed.

"They charge twice as much for their equivalents ( try out a Synapse sometime, I did... ) and they break twice as quickly."

...no thanks il pass

no...unfortunatly I dont have the blackbird but saw it and fly and I didnt know wether to cry or jump with joy. With retracts...nice. stealth fighter flies the best and is simple to fly for begginer because its a wing
I see you also have a cmpro giles 50. Mine is in progress. Great quality from what I see especially the gear and pushrods made from carbon fiber. The wing was already built which was nice and I like those hinges to. I have a saito .72 on it and it looks great. Cant believe I got it for $88 (what a steal). I guess asians are better at building the model than the instructions. Let me know how it flies?
