all is well except the spinner. there is no way to get the spinner tight without damaging it. first flight yesterday. spinner was held on by 2 thds. when it landed. if this comes loose in flight it will tear things up. it was tight as i could get it. very bad design flaw. i guess im going to use some thread locker on. wont be able to get it off without damaging it. Im not happy with it!!!

Nose cone and prop fail off on maiden flight. You can not buy nose cone. lucky the plane landed with just a little damage. Found out a little to late that this is a an going issue. Would like to receive a replacement prop and spinner set up.

Love this glider. Be careful when setting up the H Stab. It’s full flying and responsive. This thing will scoot around the sky or slow down for a gentle landing. Great beginner plane.

Fun glider! Does have a weak spots on the wings. There is only two screws holding the wing to the center of the glider. So the wing tends to flex a bit. With mine the wing coupler has started to push there the top of the wing half’s since it’s so close to too of the wings. Also waiting on the cone screw for the propeller it is not yet available

Flew well. Smooth and well behaved. Cant find any faults with this one. Used a 3s 3000ma battery that made it very slightly nose heavy but did not seem to effect the flight at all other than longer motor run times. Run the motor long enough to get good altitude then shut it off and soar around ... I love it!

The fit and finish is excellent, I have the Neptune wing and the livery/ design is eerily similar. Build up pretty straight forward. The full flying stab does flex around a bit however there's no hinge to have to worry about fortifying so thats a plus. The flex hinges work very well (rudder) thin ca into the cracks on the fuse and the bottom hole then Starting with the long hinge at bottom work your way up till theres a nice even 1/8 inch (roughly) gap between fuselage rear and forward surface of rudder.The wing surface is very nice and the means of attachment seem sufficient.You will notice a slight flex when the g's accumulate, tho/The quality of foam is very good like the Neptune edf. When the horizontal stab ends go into the rudder and you tighten the set screws down make sure you give each stab a pull to make sure the anchor is seated on the square carbon rod. Also its easy to get this full flying stab too close to the fuselage causing it to rub slightly. I had to push together and pull apart a couple times before they were the same distance from the fuselage.Landing on asplalt is just downright brutal on all of those plastic coverings, so I but a ton of tape on the bottom, usually over the cracked up plastic skidsHad first 6 flights today, what a great flyer! Practically not existent wind made for some incredibly floaty first flights. 3 cell 1300 ran near 20 min just relaxing passes. I did use loc tite on spinner threads and really reefed that thing down tight to avoid spin offs. Also its pretty easy to lighten off on the throttle before cutting off to lighten the torque on this connection, This spinner assembly is a little odd, I must say I would be very respectful of what this bird is made for, yes loops are fine and fun but manage the throttle to maintain a low speed. rolls seemed rather janky but the dihedral wing will lend to that, somewhat. Smaller batteries will bump the battery more toward the nose, I moved the velcro strap to the next slot forward to accommodate this. I'm overall, very impressed and pleased with my purchase!I didnt notice the lack of instructions because i watched some helpful vids that pretty much had me ready to go
