dont waste your money on this one....unless you wanna figure out how to hook stuff up your own...bad parts....bad quality in wood and covering.....missing parts in the kit....if ya get them they dont fit.....as for instruction details.....this kit makes cmp's booklet look good. piss poor all around. not worth what i paid for it. your on your own if you buy this trash. i wont ever buy another hyperion airplane again!!! what ever happened to quality in these kits anyway?......(oh....i know.....too many dealers selling jap products....making huge profits). hell with american made models!!

rcdudehobbies is who sold me this pc of ****....then he had to send me a bec coupler....because i got the wrong esc,,,,,then the flaps wouldnt work....the hi tec radio was messed up....i ended up burning everything....he didnt want to get hyperion involved because he made a mistake....DONT EVER BUY FROM RCDUDE HOBBIES....HE WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY.....THEN TRY AND SELL YA **** THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO COME WITH IT.

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: larger;">Ed ... you need to chill a bit, you got into a bad deal and it happens, sorry to hear about it. Hyperion planes are good planes, I owned a few of them. I love the Super Chipmunk 70E, she is well manufactured and flies nicely. But with every manufacturer, they do get one or two bad products. This may be from the design or manufacturing aspect. Not seen the Bird Dog but perhaps its no good. Also, looks like that particular LHS is messing about, so scr3w them and move on. </span></span>

another airplane not to buy unless your a real speed freak....and real quik with decisions as to why the airplane is doing what its doing....is the cmp aquila.....total pc. of ****. landing gear bends just taxing around...had 2 flights on mine.....had to re bend the main gear every flight....the nose gear bent back too. 3 rd flight....it went vertical.....for unknown reasons....i had no control....it went in nose first....full speed. good ridence to this pc of ****. i wont ever buy...(yet i own 2 more of their planes)....cmp fiberglass models....im yet to trash the other 2.....sure its coming soon. your lucky to maiden one of these junk china planes.

what do you mean by LHS....YOU SEEM TO ASSUME I KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?.....IM ENDING ALL DISCUSSIONS ON THIS FORUM....YOUR ALL ALIKE........BUNCH OF GEEKS....YOU HELPED ME AS MUCH AS MY DOG DOES.....SITTING HERE LOOKING AT ME....POOF.............IM GONE!!!

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: larger;">Ed ... ROFL ... LMAO ... heheheehehe</span></span>

Sounds like someone has anger management problems! edmoor, LHS stands for "Local Hobby Shop" and I hardly think using a short form makes you a geek. In the future maybe you should try buying airplanes from better-known brands such as E-Flite, Great Planes, Hangar 9, ParkZone, etc. as the quality is generally (but not always) better than cheap import stuff. Also, don't trust online-only model retailers. They're a dime a dozen and all of them have terrible service and generally sell sub-par, cheap products. Your LHS (hey, now you understand what that is!) is probably a much better place to shop.</p>

By the way, I think you should get your blood pressure checked, you're on your way to an early death if you keep up these rants.</p>

ed ... CMPplanes are nice, you might have got one of the other ones which are not so nice such as their Super Chipmunk 40. You should see other CMPplanes, many have flown them and many love them. The new big 182 is lovely. Again, we need to be discerning hobbyists, that really helps aviod such high blood pressured situations.

The hobby is supposed to be relaxing ...
