It is pretty similar to the 35% in terms of set-up. A friend of mine is selling his for $4000 with a JR 10X.

wasn't there already a thread asking this, just yesterday?
anyway - the quality of the kit is outstanding, and it flies just as good as its little brothers(I had the 100cc and 75cc), only like a 42%er. Don't expect the 36-37 pound advertised weight to be achievable, though, unless you do some lightening-up. If you don't care that it will be 39+ pounds, then don't worry about it. It has plenty of wing to support that weight, and it will 3D no problem. But if you do a lot of IMAC stuff, or have to deal with elevation, building it light will reward you.
Or just wait for the DA 170...
