I got a chance to test fly this airplane yesterday for a older gentlemen who had assembled it and was scared to fly it for it's maiden flight..

I have no complaints with the flight characteristics. It is light and flies very smooth but the thing I was concerned about was that is feels so flimsy! Are they all like this ?
I was able to grab the spinner and flex the whole front about 1/4inch or more each way with barely any pressure.
It has a aluminum mount so it's not that.. The fuse flexes alot and the tail is VERY flexable.. The whole fuse twists like rubber..

I am curious how many people got them like this or is this how they are built??

The bolts and glue on my firewall came dangerously loose the other day while trying to dial my 2.1 Moki in on the ground. I have since used epoxy and fiberglass cloth to reinforce the firewall. If the original firewall (bolts and glue) where holding the firewall would not move.

Mine is solid as a rock with a ZDZ40 up front. I beefed up the engine box and firewall though.
