OK, well I've had mine in the box waiting to come out for about 2 years. I got it from a friend very reasonably that had "too many planes". It's been waiting for me to make repairs on other planes and I have finally started to build it. I'm glad to see that there are mostly positive posts save the last bit. I'm going to put what I already have in it and upgrade components as needed or as I can afford. For now it's going to get a ST3000 and HS645MG's on whatever Spectrum 2.4 receiver I can russel up. It's not my "ideal" setup but it should get it up there. I'm not a 3-D guy and don't expect to turn into one overnight so there are no crazy expectations on my part.
