summary:

semi-scale RTR electric catamaran.

strengths:

runs very very fast yet stable, easy to drive.
kit quality is excellent.
glass fiber hull, painted fine bright yellow.
high-quality Spektrum DSM marine receiver installed.

weaknesses:

some stock flex cables (flexshafts) of the first batch are reversed. check your flex cable carefully and if it is reversed, replace it with correct one.
the stock battery trays should be extend aft to keep the CG at 228mm.
the manual says that the ESC is pre-programmed for Ni-MH batteries. if you use Li-Poly batteries, you should re-program with the program card PRB3311.

comments:

the hull length is actually 30", 762mm.
I purchased the kit with the upgrade flex cable, x642 prop and program card PRB3311 from OSE.
I replaced the Deans connector with XT60.
