It is a kit. Lazer cut parts. Not too bad to build. I haven't looked for it in a simulator program, but I don't think so.

Very nice to build this aircraft...
Now I feel there will be 100 post on how fast they build just like the SPAD planes.
bottom line is I suck at scratch building and I admit it.

RC-FIEND,
You cannot imagine how fast they build just like the SPAD planes !!
Why not keep BOTH ? Kit for the builders and ARF for the FLYERS ? That makes sense to me as an ARF is only a built up kit !!!

Well, well, WELL, WELL! You have had enough time to wear out the engine (unless a Jett) How does it fly, or did you not have the CG correct? If your wife or girl friend is to hand launch, insure her for a few mil. Just kidding.
