The instruction manual needs to be updated. Images need to be improved with higher resolution images.

Kit look very complete during initial exam. However, when the building came, the kit was VERY DEFICIENT! The included carbon square spar was 6x3 mm (?), not high enough to span the 1 cm thickness of the wing and fuselage, even laying in the groove was cut into the wing for this. Had to use an expanding glue, like White Gorilla glue, to bond this in and add another layer of activated White Gorilla glue to mostly fill in the left over gap. There only a slight score where the aileron hinge should have been. I had to cut my own V groove leaving a 1 mm thick hinge line by estimating the cut angle entry distance from the score line and designed a jig using a long porcelain slab to make the V groove using fresh X-acto blades. The half-circle tabs from wing did not fit into the fuselage horizontal completely, so I had to make symmetric adjustment on both side of the wing joints. The 5 mm thick reinforcement to the rear half of the fuselage was not 45 degree angle cut, so I had to free hand cut these strips to fit. The push rods were steel, not carbon fiber rods seen in other brands. Some of the slots cut into aileron to receive the control horns were cut too far away. Have to make sure that the connection holes for the control horns align with the hinge line. The thread for the control horn couplers required 1/64 shim on to use with the provided nuts, or the couplers are uselessly loose on the horns. When built, however, the plane flies very well and weigh in at 325 g using Admiral 45c 600 mAh 2S. The product spec weight of 230 g with battery is not realistic. At 325g, at full power, the motor can easily pull the plane upward from a hover. I use the Admiral 6 ch receiver w gyro. Plane can fly slow and true after my maiden and second flight. Build it straight and true, this plane is a fantastic package for the price.

Some minor quality issues but nothing major. Lacking latest instructions. YouTube video and online instructions are of an earlier version and some hardware is not appropriate. Plane came out 100 grams heavier than claimed.

Instructions would be nice, but once you have it built it's joy to fly(and crash;). This thing fly's SLOW. Which makes all the 3D maneuvers at a speed that it is totally manageable. Plus, when you screw up, and you will, the crash is so slow and the aircraft is so lite very little, if any, damage happens. I've crashed about 10-15 times. Because of the slow speed it's not a windy day plane, but no plane is perfect. Enjoy

I am learning to fly 3d and hoover and purchased this plane thinking it would be a good starter and well it was. It was and I highly recommended it. It is extremely durable and I mean extremely! I have crashed this thing multiple times and the few times I managed to get a small break I was able to repair it with a little glue from a glue gun and it was back to 100%. It handles well in any condition. I have even flown in it 15 mph winds. This plan would make a great addition to anyone's hanger!!!

This plane was originally sold under the Tech One name. Motion has reissued it under the Skynetic brand.Let me start by saying that this is a nice flying plane! The kit however, leaves something to be desired. No printed manual iis included, but there is a download link. The kit itself has some problems though. Here are some of the things I observed: The manual shows different parts than what's included in the kit. The slots cut for the control surface horns were in the wrong place. A prop saver adapter is included and has two screws to attach it to the motor shaft. The adapter was not threaded to accept the provided screws! Anyone who has ever built a 'flat foamy' before won't have a problem assembling this kit. But someone unfamiliar could easily experience some issues. Once you do get it together though, you'll definitely enjoy flying it.
