I purchaced this plane around Thanksgiving day weekend and it arrived on time. Very excitedly I started to build this plane as soon as I got a chance, following the video and building the plane at the same time ended up being a breeze. With one exception.

I didn't follow a step close enough and ended up gluing a part in the fuselage upside down. After some applied heat and persistence I removed the offending part and flipped it around to the correct position. After that I finished assembling the plane and waited for a good day to fly.

My day arrived and I took it out, and this will be my first flight ever as an RC pilot. A short tolling start and it was in the air. Then it banked hard right and nose dived into the ground. The nose was a mess but a little bit of hot glue and duct tape fixed it up. Also upon review of my controls I had accidentally reversed the aileron controls.

I took it out for another flight and it flew perfectly. It made me feel like a real pilot and was easy to control. I purchased a replacement nose and thanks to the FT Guinea Pig's sacrificial nose design its looking good as new. Highly recommended for a amateur or enthusiast pilot.

I received the kit well packaged. However the foam board crushed on one conner and bent in other areas. Today I received my order for a spare noise kit. Again well packaged but some of the foam board bent. Better QC is needed before being packaged.

The building process was very simple and easy to understand. I look forward to flying it! I only wish you showed how to set up the bomb Bay door instead of leaving it to our own devices.
