Well I got my plane.

Very interesting!

I did NOT expect the fuselage and wheel pants to be made of heavy plastic.

Not that I find anything wrong with what they did. I have just never seen plastic over ply formers!

The material used however looks like it may hold up better than fiberglass. The Wheel Pants and Fuselage are THICK, unlike some other plastic ARF pants and parts I have seen from many manufacturers.

The wings, rudder and elevators are all Balsa/Ply.

All surfaces except the rudder are pre-hinged using a top side type hinge often seen on say the Composite-Arf giant scale planes.

The included hardware is pretty good for a plane in this size and price range, and the aluminum pull-pull is a nice touch.

The elevator pushrod is identical to that used in larger CMPPro planes.

I have NO problems getting a 5000mAh battery pack in there, and you can easily get in a 5000mAh 4S through 6S pack.

The plane uses standard size servos all around.

There is a provision for an arming switch it seems.

The entire top quickly pops off at the field, via two easily accessed releases. I would suggest hardening the holes with CA.

The gear look strong and well attached though I will also harden with CA and re-inforce with more epoxy.

The plane appears to be manufactured by CMP, and many of the parts are labeled China Models Pro.
