I have one on order at LHS. Should be here tue march 4! I will posts picks weights etc... I don't compete so I figured what the hey. It includes rudder servos tray, metal servos arms, fg pilot, alum spinner. Hard to beat for less than 1k. I will be looking into installing pipes or cans, if it doesn't look to difficult.

Just got notified that mine should ship in 24 to 48 hours so mid-week next week it'll be on my doorstep..

I've already downloaded the manual and am looking at replacing the 3 servo rudder tray setup with a "simple Seiko" servo.

Hitec 5955's all the way around other than that and a DA150 for power.

Nice to see the hardware package is so complete......this is definitely the wave of the future.

Bill

I am thinking 2 9156's for the rudder? I can not believe they call for 3 servos with 120oz of torque? I like to use the same servos all the way around. There is not a big price difference?? I am worried two super servos on the rudder aren't going to be enough?

I am sure this plane will fly great, thats why they have the pros do demos on them so they prove that the plane doesnt limit you... well anyways I am anxious to see this thing go together, I might want one to practice freestyle with and not have a huge price tag in the back of my head. Well if I could do freestyle thats what I would do.
