The ValueHobby 's 51in aerobatic series are specifically designed for the 3D aerobatic flying enthusiast. Sabre-X is built from the balsa and light weight plywood, and covered in a transparent trim scheme that show off the structure's fine workmanship.

the rudder steering arm by using two regular control horns one on each side of the rudder at the bottom. I also bent the tail wheel wire so it runs along the bottom of the rudder and bent so it goes 1/4 inch in hole drilled in bottom of rudder.....loop side of Velcro is very sticky.....covered over tail wheel wire with it to secure it... You could use other ways to secure tail wheel wire on rudder bottom. I especially love the larger wheels and pants.....they are actually big enough to fly off grass. Landing gear mount is strong, but be sure to put lock washers on landing gear bolts. I used a 650 watt motor with 4 cell 3300 mah GForce battery and 14 x 7 prop. I would fly it on low rates to begin with as it will really rock fast on high rates. Overall this is a quality bird, great
build, and will perform to the ability of the pilot. As noted, only the tail wheel and steering arm issues were a problem for me. I still give it 5 stars, would recommend it, and will buy it again when I wreck this one getting brave and over confident. This plane compares to ones I paid 50 to 70 bucks more for! I was also surprised by
how big it is........almost as large as my U Can Do SF. 5 stars, Yes 5 stars! (Posted on 4/8/2014) - Did some review research Review by Krash

Quality Value Overall
Sport flying and pattern aerobatics are equally easy to pull off. Just dial your rates down and do nice flowing lines with ease.
The only issue during the build is assembling the elevator halves. It takes some patience and care, but if you follow the instructions you should be fine. Also, make sure you have a long-stemmed hex driver for installing the landing gear, as the screws go deep in the bowels of the plane.
Overall, this is an amazing value for the price and should be in every beginner to intermediary 3D pilot's hangar. (Posted on 12/23/2012)
