Not good at the point. I tested all components on my test stand using Spektrum equipment before assembly. All seemed to work. I ran the plane around my driveway OK. 1st trip to fly field elevator servo no good. 2nd time to fly field motor smoked. So at this point, since I have never gotten off the ground I'm not very enthusiastic. My E-Flite and Flex Innovation 3D planes work great.

Would have been helpful to have a printed assembly manual. Also would have been much more pleased if the paint (?) hadn’t come off on my hands and get smeared across the un painted area. The “no glue needed” landing gear fell out on the second landing.

I gave the rating a 3 because of the confusion over the type of glue recommended to assemble the plane.The instructional video says to use regular CA. Kicker is optional but would need to be foam-safe.This Sbach ad has linked instructions and the instructions don't indicate what kind of glue to use. Also, the instructions are outdated as, in part, they indicate servo arm extensions are part of the kit but were not included. For the CA issue, I used regular CA and no kicker. I used a CA tip that has a tiny tube to apply the CA sparingly directly to the areas where CA is needed. I started with the stab/elevator and rudder and set them aside to dry. Lo and behold, there are now small holes on the opposite sides of the foam where the CA was applied and the foam cooked. That's so sad to me because I was hoping for a clean assembly.Luckily, I hadn't yet applied glue to the wings. Ugh!Aside from the assembly issues, I'm confident this will be a great flying plane.

Ok, very nice intermediate size plane. All parts quality and went together well. I watched a few videos on putting it together so I didn't make any mistakes. I hand launched her on her maiden and she flew straight and true with only a few clicks of down elevator. A nice looking and flying model.Recomended to a flying friend at the Central Ridge RC Club and he loves it also.
