Initial impressions with the kit:
-HUGE leaps and bounds improvement from their previous kits, tons of high quality hardware included, very extensive
-Vibrant color scheme, should have no issues seeing this in the air (not that I fly high enough anyways..)
-Extremely well packed in the box
-Initial inspection of parts fit is superb, will need to get into it more to find out everything else
-Improved landing gear assembly and fuel tank is a very welcome surprise
Some other notes that some may want to take:
-Always go over the covering BEFORE you begin to assemble the airplane. No airplane is impervious to the huge climate changes that the containers go through when being shipped here so always iron everything down to be certain. I'm never worried about wrinkles on an airplane fresh out of the box, that's totally normal no matter who you buy from.
-Always double check parts fit and finish before assembling so you can tweak and correct any minor problems you come across. Sofar, my kit seems to be immaculate, aside from maybe some adhesive I need to wipe off from misc. parts taped in place
-Always check your hardware package, you can compare it to mine if you would like. My kit is very complete.
-I always go over all of the plywood to plywood glue joints with thin CA to ensure the wood is sufficiently bonded. It's not really necessary, but it gives you an added measure of security and peace of mind before you start assembling your airplane and put components over areas that can't be reached. I may also brush some thinned epoxy on over the entire motor box assembly to completely fuel proof it.
That's all for now...
