If the kits have an issue its cold solder joints on either the controllers or connectors to motors

That 262 has a great presence in the air. I love the 2 seat conversion. Now if the pilot would commit to the low pass.

If the kits have an issue its cold solder joints on either the controllers or connectors to motors


I bought one of these models and was actually quite surprised at the quality. It came well packaged, fair amount of detail molded in, and the parts fit is very good. Surprisingly good deal for >$200.
I decided to change the leads between the ESC's and the motors and add connectors at the center to make it easier to remove the wing for transport and storage. I did find several cold solder joints in the process.
The other issue I found is that one of the speed controllers seems to be significantly slower than the other one. I determined that is was the ESC by swapping the leads to the other motor. Both motors run slower when connected the left hand ESC.
I have ordered two more ESC's (since they are only $21 each), but I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem with this kit?

Any other things I should watch out for?
