RE: Top Flite Elder 40
Hello, I did not build my friends Elder 40, but i did the maiden flight with a saito .54 on board, and let me tell you is a beautiful plane, very slow, and predictable, it flies on a scale manner, even with its tail dragger form, is a piece of cake to take off and land, i fell in love on that plane, soon I will build mine.
Best luck!

The kit gets even more pricey if you add the pilot, machine gun and TopFlite wire wheels. I decided it would be worth it but then again I'm way beyond the age where you usually have two or three kids to support.
The cowling area was a little difficult (sheeting complex curves) as well as covering to wing tips.
Very nice looking plane though. Glad to hear it flies so well.
Regards
