Nick and I picked up the planes today. I think it looks pretty good. There is some very minor shipping damage to the wing on the trailing edge but thats an easy fix.

plane looks great, but the packing looks very inadequate! The norm these days for a plane that size is doble boxed with thick carboard, then placed inside a wooden box like the one in the pics.
I can see a lot of planes getting damage from shipping like that. there is also no room in the box, i.e. the fuse is hard agaist the box which means the fuse will get crushed with the slightest impact to the box. would be good to see more work done on this area doc. No point making a great plane if they do not arrive in perfect condition. |

hey stealdesk it looks like doc may have a winner of a plane,what is your overall impression with the build and quality of the wood.does it look to have alot of glue in the joints and soforth.i have been eyeing up one of these sbach of docs for some time.i would prefer to buy one that is not made in china as i lost a brand new 36% sbach made in china by a big name company and as far as i,m concerned it was a pos,especialy when i lost a right wing after five flights due to not enough glue on the wing saddle.

Doc, you have done great steps with design and construction, now you must do the last one with finding a perfect solution for boxes...cause shippers are s**t men that don't use care with our toys ! |

ok guys. What the best size motor for this beast? is a DA 150 too much? (I didn't think there was ever too much) the 120 is nearly 3 pounds lighter and I don't know what it is designed for from a balance point of view. I don't want to have to stick the batteries on the rudder to balance it
thanks nick |
