    Descriptive text: Easy, quick assembly, especially if you use fiberglass packing tape to hold top and bottom wing halves together rather than epoxy as instructions direct. This will hasten assembly and facilitate easy dis-assembly for transport. Airplane is big enough, 58 inch wing spread, to be seen easily. It flies very well at half or less throttle. Elevator clevis put at second hole from end will give more nose up for a good stall flare and landing with supplied battery. Most all parts available at a good hob... More details

    Descriptive text: I get 15-18 min of run time out of the stock Lipo that came with my plane. This plane has really helped me progress with my skills. I have crashed it several times and it is tough but I have replaced the prop after the crash.
