Default RE: AK-Models GOOD? BAD? UGLY?

I purchased from AK the CMP katana 140, great kit. The covering job was second to none and with the painted and clear cote i was ?? but it tighted up perfect with a little work from the heat gun. I upgrade (with all my planes) the landing gear and tail gear from graphtech. i upgraded the hardware to 4-40 rod on all surfaces and had to get a little creative with the throttle servo. I'm running Hitec 5485 on all but the rudder with 645mg. It did come in a little tail heavy so i added sullivan smoke kit and and second battery for it and that worked. CG 110mm, 13lb 5oz, unlimited vertical. Heres the list of parts and adds........this is my 3rd kit from AK and my 2nd CMP kit, no problems and a great buy.

OS 160
APC 18x6w
perry pump
Slimline inverted smpke muffler
Hitec 5485 digital
Hitec 645mg rudder
2000 flight battery
