well the plane, she is smart! here are the first impressions: - comes in a well packed ply wood box (Coffin)lol - all mager delicate parts are in bubble rap. - this is the carbon fiber version and the the CF parts are really well made. - the wheels have alu hubs with bushes/ bearings. - the hardware seems to be very good. - even comes with a predrilled Cf spinner!!! (I couldn't resist: "made in China" lol) BTW, NOT ONE SINGLE BUBBLE ON THE COVERING!!!!!!!! |

the landing gear goes on easy. inside the fuse there are 2 alu brackets that hold the gear plate inplace. the tailgear ( also CF) went on by marking and drilling 3 holes on the tail and inserting blind nuts through the little hatch on the side of the fuse at the back. I don't know about other planes but the rudder delfection (to me) is going to be crazy in the air lol. The rudder control horn needed a bit of sanding to get it to fit snug and correctly. the pull pull is also preinstalled! the elevator servos just fall into place with ease.  also added some photos of her on her feet |

M64 Looking good, its about time because you have been lurking for a while, I think you made a good choice these kits look awesome. How much do those wheels weigh and what size are they. You now have no excuse not to come up to Jozi for the Large scale nats in April. Neil |
