Product Review (submitted on February 21, 2018):

first let me say that the plane came quickly and without shipping damage.
build review: i put the landing gear together first and noticed the main gear wheels were not round, so when you roll the plane it looks like it's limping (ordering new dave brown wheels)
when i tried to snap the rudder and elevator clevis' together they wouldn't lock. i had to drill out the hole in order for them to work. i added plastic tubing to all the clevis' to keep them locked.
the area that you put your receiver in is rather tight if you have large hands which i do. i used a lemon receiver/stabilizer and it was difficult to get on the center line and fastened down securely.
the wing went together with some difficulty, you need to make sure that you fasten the wing into the fuselage as you are gluing the two wing halves together or the front pins on the wings won't line up with the holes in the fuselage.
the vinyl decals don't fit well so there are lots of air bubbles and wrinkles, it took me a little over an hour to get most of them worked out. there are some that well never be worked out like at the tail and where the wing tips turn down.
i read reviews and watched build videos on the airplane before i ordered it. i can't believe they didn't run into the same problems i did. maybe i just got one that was made on friday, if that makes any difference in china.
i'm almost afraid to fly the thing i had so much trouble getting it together. but the weather here is windy and wet and will be for the next week so it may be awhile.
please pardon my spelling.
