I purchases this Airplane as a gift to myself. It came shipped in a very well packaged box.
The plane goes together easily, and electric retracts are already installed.
The flaps are molded in but uncut. I cut them loose and installed two additional servos, one a reverse servo. I used spare control horns and pushrods to connect the flaps.
I looked up on the web what other builders were doing to the plane. I removed the lights (2.7v I think) and replaced them with a lighting kit from another manufacturer that had high voltage bulbs and a light controller switchable from the transmitter. The lights are awesome.
The plane comes with a spare three blade prop. The plane uses a 4 cell, and has plenty of room for that size of battery,
For the money, I cannot see how you would ever beat this value. And the plane looks great! (Posted on 1/2/2017)
