So far I have no problem , the engine bolts and stand-off are 2” inches to long , had to buy new hardware. But I’m still working on it and I will have time later to finish it up.

Very nice fit and finish, all parts arrived without damage and looked great. I’m very excited to get this built and in the air.

Kit went together well. I wouldn't expect retracts to last long but they're working for now. The covering is really sub par for a $1200 ARF. It looks nice from 10ft back, but up close is meh. First day out in the sun and the wrinkles that popped up are HUGE and EVERYWHERE. Do yourself a favor and ignore the manuals recommended control throws. The high throws will work but need even more. I always leave in a switch for full servo throws and I'm glad I did for taxing and fighting crosswinds. Overall, the kits is just ok. I love the FG90 I have in mine, if it weren't for that, I'd want my money back!

Only good review is posted here. Bad one is filtered out. So don't trust what you read here. This is a bad investment.

The plane flies well but the main retracts are junk. On first flight, the left wing retract failed, collapsed on landing. Upon inspection, I noticed that the screwed on cap on the end of the motor cylinder came off. Took it home, locktite it and I even put 3 loops of aluminum tape around it. 2nd flight, it came off again. I filed the claim with MotionRC, they sent me the new motor to replaced. 3rd flight, the same gear failed again. The cap didn't come off but the gear only go out half way. On landing it collapsed again. I checked and the motor still spinning but no movement. The left wing got really bad damaged from the gear failure. I may need to get the electric gears from Robart to replace. and a new left wing too. Really bad investment.

This is a very bad investment for me. The plane flies well but the landing gear is completely junk. On first landing, the gear on the left wing collapsed because the cap on the motor cylinder came off. I locktite it and put 3 loops of aluminum tape around it. Next flight, it came off the same way. MotionRC sent me a new motor to replace and the problem is the same. The gear came out half way and and collapsed on landing. The left wing id scrubbed really bad and the balsa wood is exposed. The control horn is ground all the way to the ball link's ball. Going to cost me another $500-$600 for the robart landing gears.
