Summary: Slow Stick with 400C/BB Review 2009-12-18
Comment: This package is for the air vehicle, the motor with gear reduction box and prop, no electronics included. The plane went together rather easily. However, after adding all my electronics and battery, it was rather difficult to balance the full-up aircraft. It comes with an "I" beam fuselage and plastic sections which slide along the "I" beam. The plastic sections are for mounting the wing (front and rear attachments), the battery pack (front and rear attachments), the servos, and the tail wheel. The recommended construction is to mount the battery pack aft of the wing mounts. In this configuration, a lot of ballast weight had to be added to the front "I" beam. I moved the battery pack attachments forward of the wing (the wing has a fixed position along the "I" beam) and only had to add a small amount of ballast to the tail to bring the aircraft into balance. You can't put the battery pack where it really wants to go under the wing because the wing mounts are in the way. However, my third learning flight ended with a nose in landing, the battery pack slid forward (attached with rubber bands) and the propeller hit the battery pack, breaking the propeller. The gear box may have been damaged also. In my humble opinion, I think this airplane can only be flown on a perfectly calm day. Any wind, however so slight, will make this aircraft very difficult to control, especially for a beginner. My Wingo flew better than this aircraft. And well you might ask why am I not still flying the Wingo. Well, I flew that one into the side of the local school building. It also comes with the worst instructions I ever encountered. I could not recommended this aircraft.
