I've been trolling this thread for a couple of weeks reading all the posts with great interest.
pulled the trigger waiting for the thing to show up. Threw caution to the wind gonna power it with the saito FG 90 just love the sound on the YouTube videos. Think I'm already driving Mike a Gator crazy with cowl worries. He told me to relaxe and assured me that this batch has the larger cowl. Once the thing sows up I'll post some more thoughts/questions

I have the 84 with the Keleo. you'll need to trim the corners of the engine box a bit. I added triangle stock to the box inside and out for extra support. I think Keleo sells a Baffles kit...well worth it.

the quality of my plane seemed good throughout fit and finish was excellent, the wing tubes were a little tight, and there was more overspray on the gray underside than I would like but overall my plane gets an "A" can't wait to get strted

Sorry to hear of your experience, my airplane arrived Monday night packed unbelievably well, I feel like UPS would have had to try and damage it. I did a quick inspection, and assembled the wings tailfeathers,couldn't resist.

In the future i will buy another brand to have a true after sales service.
When you receive a plane with several paint failures and cracks, a serious factory must to repair .With Toprc : no solutions.

Topgun25000,
I'm sorry you received a damaged plane. My Top Models Mustang arrived with a broken rear canopy frame that was damaged during the shipping process..
Go to the following link: www.toprcmodel.com and post a message regarding your damaged plane here: [email protected]. It took a few days, but I did get a response back from a Mr. Henry He who, in turn, contacted the appropriate distributor and within a week I had a replacement canopy frame sitting on my doorstep. If you purchased the plane from Gator RC I would contact Mike, who would help you resolve the damage issue as well.
Good Luck!
Sonny

My Zero arrived Friday and everything looks great, I'm very impressed with the packaging. No instructions I presume? There are none in my box.
Looks like the canopy is set up to be made to slide without too much effort.
I have a couple of projects to finish off then will get started on it.

I am thinking about a DA100 inline in one of these. I would need to move the firewall back about 2 inches. Is their enough room to mod the firewall and move it back 1.5 to 2 inches?
Appreciate any input.
Thx
Joe

I think that would be just too much power !
The only reason you are seeing 70-80-90cc engines being put in it is because they are Radials. A 80cc radial is only putting out about the same power as a 60cc gasser. I think the plane could handle the engine weight. just not that kinda power available from it. If you are GOOD with throttle management then maybe.

I started my build last nite and as Hot Rod Todd suggested I went with the hitec hs 5087 mg servo for the tail gear. Itīs a bit small for the hole but I added a bit of plywood to compensate the difference. Works fine.
