Went together pretty quick. The instructions stink but if you've been around the block once or twice its easy. Most of my time was waiting for the 5 minute epoxy to dry. I used the stock ESC but disabled the BEC and went with a separate CC BEC with a 1900MAH 2S LiPo for power to the servos. Were having some great weather here. Mornings are cols but by noon were at 50 then 60 by late afternoon.. Winds have been really light also. In El Paso we have flying weather 365 if we get snow its gone in 30 minutes so its easy to deal with it. I don't miss cold winters one bit, Mike
