I'd have to agree, sj3cub. I can't believe how nice the wheel pants are and how good the covering looks. The dark blue checkerboard covering on the bottom is really striking as well. It's funny that Ace Hobby is hiding such a nice airframe in a plain white box with no instructions!

I do have to give Ace Hobby/Thunder Tiger credit for one thing; the Robbe manual isn't nearly as good as a typical Thunder Tiger or Ace Hobby ARF manual. Hopefully they're writing a better, more detailed version for inclusion with future ARFs. For $91.99, I guess I don't mind being a guinea pig.

Mine is coming along nicely. I'm looking forward to maidening it soon:

Thunder Tiger GP-42 engine
Futaba S3003 servos for throttle, rudder, elevator
Hitec HS-81 servos for ailerons
Airtronics 92824 2.4Ghz receiver
Airtronics RDS8000 transmitter

I'll post more shots when it's finished.
