I don't think this model is out of the factory yet. Maybe in 2-3 months time? But I think you will get good quality all over and excellent paint job. Maybe a bit on the heavy side what weight concerns. Not the most scale looking either. No one knows how it flies but so far their other models have flown well. And they make robust retracts. And propably without a manual but who needs it when there is almost nothing to do?
