Search YouTube for build help. The instructions are worthless.

I was a bit nervous about putting this in the air. I've recently put together a balsa 3D plane, but wanted something more durable as a first attempt. I was very pleased from the first takeoff. Sport aerobatics are a breeze and it was easier to fly than previous planes I've flown.

I built this with a 78 gram 970kV motor and a APC 11x4.7SF prop. I've got unlimited vertical with this combination and a 1300mAH 3S battery. My maiden flight was in steady winds of about 10mph. Takeoff was uneventful and it responded very well to control input in both high and low (40%) rates with about 60% expo. With a Optima 7 receiver, I didn't even need servo extensions and the build ended very clean. I used Beacon QuickGrip for all of the foam and 5 minute epoxy for the plywood parts.

I'll be buying another next month, just to have a spare.
