Ran across this plane by accident while ordering epoxy! Apparently there was a sale going on in the middle of September and it was $359.00! For that price for a 30% size plane I took the chance since not being able to find similar aircraft for under $800.00. It arrived in two days via FEDEX Ground for $5.99. Apparently I must have received a different version than shown because it came with carbon fiber landing gear vs. two piece aluminum, and also cowling mounts with a internal ring vs. external hardware as shown in the manual. Kit build was straight forward and assembled as gas vs. electric. I had it completed in three days and took to the club field for the maiden flight. I had to add a little weight up front to balance out. Nice CG tool they provided to check balance. First flight need a little trimming as any new plane but from there it flew beautifully. I used a DLE-55 engine and HiTec 5645's and 7955 servos! Would recommend this plane for anyone with large scale experience.

A total waste of good modeling money! This plane is not airworthy. The construction is too light and will not hold up . I bought one of these, installed a new DLE 61 and new Power HD high torque metal geared digital servos in it and before I could complete the first round the ailerons fluttered and one wing instantly broke at the end of the wing tube. I didn't even have time to trim it out and was using less than half throttle. It fluttered so hard that it stripped the gears in both aileron servos. I've been successfully flying model airplanes for 32 years including aerobatic planes, 120mph warbirds and 200mph jets and have never seen a plane flutter like this at half throttle. The airframe is weak and will not hold up. The only reason I gave one star is because there is no option for zero stars. Up until now Phoenix has made some good planes but this one is junk. I can't believe that Tower would sell an item of such poor quality. I have spent thousands of dollars at Tower Hobbies but I am officially taking them out of my favorites and will find somewhere else to by my hobby items.
