Summary:
RTF DLG. Four servos and rx are installed.
Strengths:
two piece wing and removable stab for ease of transport.
inexpensive.
Weaknesses:
control rods for elevator and rudder are so heavy.
vertical fin is so small that it would be better to replace it with slightly larger one.Overall rating:
AAAA (four of five)
Tips:
It is recommended to reinforce around the launch peg with carbon sheet or glass cloth.
I replaced the vertical fin with larger one and made this airplane rudderless.
I also replaced the elevator push rod with 0.6mm music wire and 0.8mm inner dia. polyimide tube.
After repeated trial and error, now I set reverse differential for aileron: up 3mm, down 8mm.
