Check your wheels for rolling true before you finish it up. Mine wobbled like a drunk sailor so replaced them after 3 flights

I used 3mm ones, as I posted two posts above yours. They worked perfect.

Well that's a bummer. Mine needed to be drilled out or they wouldn't roll at all.
What did you replace them with?

Hanger 9 Pro Lites. They are a little wider but still fit just fine. They roll nice and smooth too.

My Wheels Suck Too. One Is round, but I had to drill to turn, the other is so wobbly I had to take it to a press to press it flat so it would not rub the pants. I am extremely disappointed in the wheels. Also a few other things, but I will hold it all until the end and weigh the proc vs the cons. I will say for $650+ I would of expected my wheels to not be junk.

To be fair this is absolutely the best 35cc plane I've flown imo. Hopefully when you get it in the air it'll be worth the trouble.
Also, I believe these are the first production. I'm sure Chris will be having a talk with the factory to improve these minor issues.
Honestly I never expect perfection from a first production run(but I still know how you feel since I also paid $650+ for mine). This is based on personal experience as well as following the release of many planes.

I assume that is each. You need to carry some fuel dots. I would buy this from you, but I need a fuel dot and already paying shipping for it.

I am sure it fly's great like all of the EF planes. I do feel if we all have crappy wheels, they should send us new ones. Also if the turnbuckles are too short, they should supply them too.
I just want to say that my 35CC Flymodel's hardware kit, cowl, landing gear, wheels and wheel pants, smoke what came in the EF kit. Everything is drilled and fitted, the pants have two screws to keep them from turning. The rudder cables are run, and it cost me $242 bucks shipped.
I bought the 76" MSX from EF because I loved my 64" MSX from EF. EF planes fly kick ass. But for primo dollars you should get a primo kit, that's just the way I feel. I feel like I paid for quality, don't you?

I don't see a Hangar 3mm turnbuckle, they are a 4/40. The search continues for a fuel dot and 3mmx90mm turnbuckles in the same spot.

Turnbuckles are fine. I used the stock ones setup as shown in the manual. Works great. They were just in the wrong bag. People who are using longer ones are installing their elevator servos backwards (on purpose)
My wheels are fine, they just needed slight drilling. No biggie. For the guys with wobbly wheels, they should probably be getting replacements.
The cowl, landing gear, and pants look great to me. The one bolt on the pants is working great too. I've flown off grass and asphalt without issue. The pants haven't moved at all.
You couldn't pay enough to trade my MXS for a flymodel lol. Comparing the two is an absolute joke. In flight QUALITY will not even be in the same league. Guaranteed.
I do feel I paid for a quality kit....and I feel that's what I got.
