Great Value(Posted on August 29, 2016) I love this plane, and fly it all the time. I recommend moving the Center of Gravity a little forward of the point specified in the manual. I fly my aviator trainer with a 4500 to 5000 mAh battery all the way forward in the battery compartment. I also beefed up the area where the landing gear is mounted with additional plywood and epoxy. I also fly with an APC 13x6.5 prop and get about 700 watts, but I limit full throttle bursts to 20 seconds or less. Most of the time, I just putter around in the sky. The color scheme (white on top of wings; dark blue on bottom) makes it easy to maintain visual orientation of plane. I like the plane so much, I bought two - just in case. |

Not a bad plane for the money, although build quality suffers in some areas...(Posted on August 2, 2016) I found the instructions quite poor for the amount of assembly needed to make this plane airworthy. No ESC data/programming sheet to set up motor parameters. Overall: 1) Loose parts were laying inside the fuse. Small threaded knurled nuts fell out from somewhere????? 2) Installing the pushrods was difficult as they needed a shallow "Z" bend where they exited the fuselage to align the ELE & RUD clevises for smooth travel. 3) Had to break the nosewheel pushrod tube & redrill the nosewheel tube location to align the steering arm as the installed tube was 1/4" off proper location. Luckily, I got the pushrod tube to reposition & hot glued into correct location. Installation of the nosewheel is a chore that takes a lot of patience. 4) Having to remove & reinstall (2) screws to the battery hatch to change batteries is ridiculous. I modified the hatch with neodymium magnets for quick off/on use. 5) The ESC power leads are too short & make it difficult to plug the battery to. I added 3" more 10ga wire for better movement. 6) The left AIL servo was DOA. Luckily, I took it out & removed the cover to see a motor wire loose & resoldered it back on. Working now. This plane would be extremely difficult with a new flyer or one with minimal experience. A more seasoned pilot with some building experience can manage, although careful overall examination is required. Mine is ready for maiden & I hope my patience & effort will culminate into a great flight with many more to follow. |

Nice plane but incomplete kit(Posted on August 13, 2014) Plane seems well built and flew well, However, kit was short servo arms and connectors and Y-harnes for ailerons. Had to procure items locally to complete build. |
