I purchased one of these kits about 4 months back. I just bought it because it was on sale for $90 shipped I think. I kind of wish I hadn't bought it, not because I feel it will fly bad, the general consensus is that it is a great plane, but it takes up so much freaking room. This plane is huge, for me at least. Add that it is made from EPO, so it dents and dings easily. I don't know how long it will be around. I really need to post some of my stuff for sale.
Anywho, it is rocking twin 3536 950k motors for a 4S set up spinning some 10x7 master airscrew props. No plans on what FC or FPV set up it may or may not contain. It is theoretically ready to fly LOS at this point with a couple of touches.
I recently had to take it down, however, since the clear gorilla glue I glued it up with pretty much just flaked straight off the EPO foam. Someone told me I should have sanded it, and maybe it would do better, but I didn't trust it at this point, especially since the stabilizers were just held on by plastic glued on to the foam. My wife had originally knocked off one stabs off, and I was initially pissed, but then I thought it shouldn't have came off that easily. So I gave the other one a shake and it popped right off. That would have been disasterous in the air! I took the whole thing back apart and reglued it with BSI foam cure.
