I really like this airplane... are there already any videos in the net???? I didn't found anything on Youtube.

I wondered one thing... how many servos are there per aileron?? it looks like there's only one or two-in line. Anyway, there's only one horn... I think it could have torsion problems... don't you think so?

I'll try to post some pics:

I thought the 85-150cc engine rating was a little much, but there could be an opportunity for people to have fun with it.

A 100cc should be perfect. The 85cc might not have enough weight on the nose.

i'm here on vacation in thailand and was able to get one of these planes from the factory. i was told that it was the last piece available over here as everything had been loaded onto the containers already for export. i should receive mine tomorrow to be delivered to my hotel. i have a courier over here that will ship the plane to my country in the philippines. got the showtime scheme in white/red.

Nice - $1290 intro price. Not bad. Your version looks nice, but the yellow and blue just doesn't do it for me, though.
