Strengths:
Build quality of timber parts is first class. Semi-scale detail excellent. e. g.
Weaknesses:
Metal tabs for cabane struts are much too soft - break easily. Undercarriage not substantial enough for model with 25 ounces of lead in nose! Ailerons are covering hinged and were so tight on my model that I had barely any up-aileron. Horizon Hobby had to exchange upper wing set for that reason. .
Overall:
It does look beautiful on the ground and in the air. However, the designers and production team have aimed really high and set themselves a hard task bringing this model to the market as an ARTF. Breaking cabane strut tabs,flimsy undercarriage and careless wing covering suggest a lack of production sampling for quality and/or flight testing. Metal clevises for rigging wires would cost little and look so much better than the cheap plastic ones supplied.
