The Pulse XT 40 ARF looked very light and flimsy to me and didn't look like it was glued very well, along with the rest of the parts. Will this plane withstand very much abuse? It sure doesn't look like it would to me!

Anyone unhappy with the construction of this plane?

It is built light, it is not at all flimsy, and it will not stand much (if any) abuse. That is why I don't recommend it as a second plane. Sometimes, second planes get some harsh treatment. This is a good flying plane.

Flimsy? No! Designed for a "low timer"? No ....but for those with some stick time after a trainer on at least one low winger.....oh boy! This is one nice flyer. I think that a lot of negative flap about glueing being taken way out of context. How much of what kind of glue did you expect to see in this size model, designed for e-power? This is not a combat model. This model is for those who know how to fly and want to enjoy this size in e-power. Kudos for the designers!!

Yeah, It's a very good model. Nice light construction. No, it probably isn't one that can be cartwheeled down the runway several times but if you add some extra glue to the landing gear area and put some CA on some of the fuse glue joints it will help those that don't grease in the landings. It's a really nice plane and looks better than some of the other planes in the same catagory. I even have the wheel pants installed on mine and fly off of a rough grass field with no problems.

Yes, it does look nice.
