I am putting one together with a Saito FA 82a. I am looking forward to it. What are your specs?

Ive flown mine a bunch, saito .72 is just enough, would not go smaller on the engine, like to put a .91 on it

The review should be coming out this week and you can see the video's!

A flying friend flew it this past weekend.... Saito 91, put elevator servos in the tail.... chucked the bell crank, it's crap... on the second flight, he performed a perfect blender into a elevator, and finally a harrier down to the deck.... I was very impressed. I'm going to buy one sometime in the future.

Bell crank works fine, its not the smoothest, but there is nothing wrong with it. Youll see parachutes, blenders, harrier to landings, hovering on the deck in the video's
