Well, I ordered the RamRod as an afterthought when I ordered the Apache III trainer. Naturally the RamRod was finished first.
Fred said the whole ARF only took about five to six hours to complete. It was very complete right out of the box, and with very few issues. The fuel tank stopper stripped out while being tightened onto the tank and was replaced, also one of the clevises cracked while being put onto the control horn and was replaced with a DuBro clevis. Everything else went together quite nicely indeed.
The VMar RamRod low wing trainer is now complete and ready to maiden. It is set up with an Enya SS40BB G7 engine, Hitec Supreme IIS receiver, and four HS-311 servos.
