I am saying it is extremely complete... and just a hoot to fly! I have left my ZN-Line and Super Extra at home the past two weekends to fly this plane! It does not fly as smooth and precise as my ZN-Line... but it is more fun in many ways.. it is just so nimble and throws around great!

I dragged the rudder with this plane for two reasons... the plane is maneuverable enuff to do it, and if I messed up, A new Prop, Canopy, Cowl and rudder... and away I go!!!

Oh Yeah.... the ZN-Line KIT from DA is $2400.00, my SX from Comp-Arf is $3000, the GP Extra from LHS or tower hobbies is $1000.00.... That there is a pretty compelling reason to fly one of these!

Really.. Tygon Tubing, Zip Ties and Foam pad for the Rx... That is all you need!!! Everything else is included. (Well... OK.. CA and Epoxy too I guess)
Well, this really is exciting news. I have been looking for a plane that flies like this and is priced right as you know. You directed me here from "suround a da 150 thread". I was going to go ZN Line and was cringing at the cash I was going to have to drop because the build itself would have to be done from kit right? (above my building ability at this price level to screw up) So that would be a cost for a master builder to do. (i never even covered a plane )
So a nice easy clean "put together"; right up my alley
