Great Kit, Nicely organized, Solid Lazer cutting, Poor Instructions
The instructions are unbelievably bad, total of 4 pages with pictures that help but if you are not an experienced builder do not buy this model, you will struggle figuring things out. Other then that I love how precise the fits are, the quality of the balsa and really liked how everything is included, only had to make one trip to the hobby store. The included covering is quality, I liked working with it, it is thin but durable and irons nicely and stretches without wrinkles. Ready for final assembly and a maiden flight later this week. I would buy another one of this brands kits as I am an experienced builder.

precise laser cuts
This kit has very nice laser cuts, matching 1:1 plans are about 95% accurate, the photos & instructions however are a challenge. Take your time & be sure to look ahead. Not for beginners. light and strong. Carbon fiber leading edge!

Fun to fly but tricky to build
Kit has everything except receiver and battery which is why I bought it. Instructions are pictures with very little text, glad I have built several planes and knew how to work around them. Laser cut wood is poorly cut, spent a lot of time cutting parts out of the panels. For $92 it was worth the headaches... It is fun to fly but be sure to have dual rates as you'll need the high rate to launch.

Not for beginners without help
As a long time model builder first look I was impressed. Every thing you need is there but building tools, glue ,transmitter, reciever ,and battery. No names on any thing but look to be good quality. I may not use the covering but it looks like Oracover. I like transparent covering on gliders and I think it will be lighter. Wood quality looks ok but it out sig contest balsa quality but not many kits are. Can't wait to start the build. I will see how strong the wing is. I would have liked to see some sheeting on the leading edge of it but the carbon fiber leading edge may be enough. So far well werth the money.

Wrong motor
When I ordered this back in 2018, they shipped me a pusher motor. So, be prepared to put a new shaft on it. Also, the wing spar is far too thin. They try to pair it up with two stringers but they don’t fit quite right.

Muchas horas de entretenimiento
Producto de buena calidad, realmente está todo en esa caja. No debería ser tu primer proyecto ya que no existe una guía de construcción. Lástima que no hay una batería.

Garbage!
Worst kit I have ever built . Laser cutting is very good , Design is very bad with weak wing front peg witch is made from the worst plywood I've ever seen . Trailing edge does not blend with the wing ribs , ailerons are too thin , push rods do not have a outer sleeve , Aileron servos stick up higher than ribs . Scrapped wing , only carbon leading edge retained , modified all ribs to make a proper airfoil and used basswood spars with vertical shear webs . If built with material supplied , I dought if it will survive reasonable use , and preformance is doughtfull . Don't wast your money .
