Default FlyingStyroKit P-40N

I originally bought this kit to study for modifications I want to do for my Top Flight P-40E. I wanted to see how the tail sections differ, because I want to extend the tail on the TF P-40E to make a M model. Now the differences between the M and N models are mostly in the cockpit. (the N has the angled rear deck and the M has the same scalloped setup as the E).

At first I really did'nt think about building it to fly, but then, why not...? I must say that the plane looks beautiful! Scale detail everywhere, but as with all foam planes seems at this point abit frail. We'll see. It comes without a functional rudder. The option to make it functional is mentioned in the instructions, but gives no detail. Not that hard to figure out...

The kit came in good shape, cost me about $130.00 dollors with the upgraded engine(AXI outrunner look alike i think, as it has no paperwork or markings on or with it) and shipping.

The instuctions are not all that bad to follow if you have the basic understandings of building r/c planes. Still not one for a beginner I think. Just follow the pictures and "think" about what your doing and you'll be fine. As with most overseas kits, the instructions seem to loose abit of er...detail for lack of a better word durring the translation.
