Default Model Tech SE5... Assembly Hints? Flying?

Anybody have this bird? I was given one as a going away present from some friends in my old RC club when I moved. Any tips on assembly would be greatly appreciated, anything to watch out for or otherwise unexpected? How does she fly? Thinking about a Magnum 52 FS. Thanks in advance for any input.

Magnum or OS .52 plenty of engine. Flies very scale, wide speed range. Lots of rudder in turns. Scale aerobatics, nothing insane. Goes together easily, take your time figuring out the cabane struts. MT engine mounts aren't the sturdiest, they actually flex quite a bit. NOt so much a problem with a small engine. All in all a great plane, a little pricey but well worth it. Looks fantastic in the air.

How do you transport it to and from the flying feild? Do you remove both wings, or transport complete?

I have never taken the wings off mine since I put it together. It fits easily in the back of my suv and that was one of the reasons I selected this fun little warbird.
