| Radio Setup: |
- Spektrum DX7S radio. - Spektrum AR7000 (incl satelite rx) receiver. - Hitec HS225BB servos for ailerons, elevator and rudder. Very nice quality! |
| Positive Comments: |
- Manufacturing quality is generally very good! An extremely pleasing finish. - Good looking plane! - Really floats quite well even with its high wing loading. - At this early stage it seems like good value for money. - Right from the first flight this is a very enjoyable plane to fly! - For the initial flights, virtually no trim adjustment was made. |
| Negative Comments: |
- Design comments: - A good, English manual should be provided!! - All parts to be glued to the fuselage walls must employ fibreglass resin and matting - epoxy does not adhere to the moulded fuselage walls - probably due to mould release agent used. - Manufacturing faults: - Elevon halves' root face is not parallel to the fuselage walls when mounted on the carbon tube assembly. A thin, tapered shim was required to fill the gap! |
| June 2014 - Completed assembly of this plane and have 3 flights at Fagan Park (June-2014) |
