well, where to start?

ok, first of all comes the building of the thing, and to be honest, 3-4 hours on a friday night will have you in the air by saturday morning, all that is required is that the peices of epp be stuck together ( in the right order obviously) with some foam safe ca and kicker, it really is just that simple!

some things that are a good thing to add but not included in the kit are some carbon strips along the fuselage sides to make the thing rigid, otherwise with full 3d rates you will see the model bend an alarming amount in the air which does not make rolling loops or cubans easy at all, also, i decided not to install the included carbon landing gear as this model will hand lauch with absolute ease , will be strong enough to resist fairly hard belly landings and ( if you are good at 3d) can be simply grabbed out of the air from the hover!

now weve dealt with building issues, ill talk abuot flying, now, this model is an absolute joy to intermediate and expert modellers alike! it is ideal for a first 3d model and also as a transition from the high wing trainer. it is so easy to 3d, i have had it harriering around my garden, the local park, and basketball courts and countless indoor venues!  

now this model, frankly, is an absolute treat, you can fly it anywhere, on cheap radio gear, small cheap motors and a 900 mah lipo, so, sou really can have this thing in the air for next to nothing!

another thing is, if you carefully cut about 1cm off each wingtip then it can do anything that the pilot is capable of!

i have had it doing a rolling harrier under a set of rugby posts!

with the 1cm peices that have come off the wingtips, try carefully glueing them onto the horizonlat fuzelage peices just behind the wing whilst bringing the cg back about 1/2-1 cm this will dramatically increase 3d performance to a level where you can sustain a hands off hover for a good length of time.
