Default RE: Phoenix Giles 202

I just bought the giles 202 from phoenix and im excited to start the build. I had a sukhoi from them which was well built, had good hardware, and great covering. I am expecting the same out of this model. I noticed that this kit comes with 2 balsa rods for rudder and elevator as seen in a few pictures. My sukhoi was supposed to come with the same hardware but when I opened the box, I was surprised to see that they had actually already installed plastic housings leading to the tail of the fuse supplied with two long metal rods. It worked out great and prevented flutter. Does anybody with a newer model giles seen this setup? As for the plane, it looks great and has a metallic blue finish on the blue stripes. I have a cmp giles that fly's bautifully and had a blast with it. Here is the setup for my new ship

O.S. 55 AX with 13x6 APC prop
Futaba EXA6 with 5 s3003 servos
Omega 10%

Cant wait to get it in. Thanks in advance for a response.
