Beautiful plane! Great finish. Flies with confidence with a bit more power in a 35cc

Overall an interesting model, not very often seen at airfields. I bought it at a bargain and heavily rebuilt\modified to New Zealand AT6 Texan II version. The problem arose during maiden. There were no losses, but model was terribly nose heavy. After many hours in Internet, I found interesting information. In original manual CG is at 72mm, in the new one CG is at 95mm... A very large difference for this size. It flies correctly, looks great in flight. Now I’m waiting for custom stickers and good weather for next flights.

The model has been a joy to fly in the air. I set mine up as an electric with the power system based on the Carbon Z T28. Quite stable, even in windy conditions. Lands very well also. Only real issue I have had is the nose wheel steering. The setup used is certainly not perfect, but its adequate provided you keep an eye on it. Overall, a very fun model to fly.

That’s a very good kit I only taxied the plane so far due to bad weather but it’s did very well and sounded pretty good even at half throttle The wave retracts work nicelyI went with a Badass 4520 470kv 100A ESc and 6S to keep the whole thing light vs the 8S 295kV recommended I’ll update the review once I m able to fly her but it’s well balanced kit and I don’t see why she wouldn’t fly good

I put this ARF together four years ago and I still love flying it today! I used the motor esc and retracts from the Horizon carbon Z T-28 and it works beautifully for this aircraft. I’m glad to see it finally back in stock! A great model in my opinion!

The plane overall is a nice kit well put together, covering tight, parts clearly packaged. I bought this with the recommended bundle. The plane will not lift off the ground with the recommended motor, not enough wattage with the 16x10 propeller. Changing over to 30cc gas
