Hi bros just got this plane recently out of the box...no experience whatsoever in building balsa wood models except the time i was in syfc which was a way back..anyways, does anyone fly this model or knows anything about it and willing to share a thing or two about this plane?

Lol..May i ask what kind of electronics do u guys recommend me using it, which reliable size engine model for 60 size 2 stroke, any extra things to take note of when building or flying this plane? any tips?

heres the data from the kit:

Length : 1485mm (58.4 inches)
Weight : 2670gr
Engine : 60 two stroke

get a 90 two stroke or a 120 four stroke and u will enjow the plane..

Rudder shiuld be high torque MGs
the rest is probably a 6 -9kg servos..
its probab;y also cheaper to sun a petrol engine on it like an MLD28zz power

Build it light. You will want a 0.75 or larger 2 stroke in there for 3d.

Unlike most of the vietnam arf, this one is designed and built light, which means fragile...but it is built to fly.

It is a fun-fly plane so it is relatively stable. Shifting the c.g. slightly rearward helps a lot. It is not design for full throttle dive...

Try to land it softly.

Wow, thanks for the advice guys! May i know where is the best place to purchase the MLD28zz power engine? o.O this is a fragile plane huh? which means one crash probably would burn my pocket ouchhh
hey baby_zyklon and nudge, appreciated the advice, but maybe specifically can advice on me on where can i get the right electronics and engine for this plane?

probably looking for the most affordable and reliable ones..

Bro, built it light.....the recommended .60 size 2-stroke engine has enough power to fly the plane. Any standard size servos should be fine. Just remember to coat the engine mount area with thin CA or thin layer of epoxy.
Have fun flying

alright noted =) will 5 mins epoxy do the trick?

Hi, the 5 min epoxy should be fine.
Happy flying
