I picked mine up today at lhs. It does look impressive , i got the red and white one and the ultra coat is great. My first Senior was the kit form i cant believe how they have improved with this arf version. I mostly fly the big gassers but this will be a fun plane for calm days and for the new club members to have a fun airplane to learn on. I am putting the RCV .58 up front, and i know i will have to add a bunch of lead up front . The motor weighs around 18 or 19 ozs with muffler. I am putting a alum landing gear on mine making it a tail dragger , should be fun allready have everything hinged and putting servos in now in the wings.
