Matt,

Isn't it kind of heavy? (my Mantis Ex airframe with same config. weights 4#
15 oz.). How much it weights with the engine, header, pipe and electronics
installed. I wonder how can one use this airframe for an electric set-up. I
guess Jason's airframe is not an of the shelf item though!

Excellent stuff Jason. Thank you.

Just got my Rev Pro in this week. Personally I love designing and building
planes but this value was so good I simply couldn't pass it up. 

$1490 plus $99 shipping, buys a 5# 12 oz fully finished ARF, ( without any
equipment of course) in the most prefabricated state you can get. 
All the parts are factory installed and straight; all hinging is factory
done with a really neat set-up you've got to see to appreciate. The hinging
is ready sealed. The landing gear has the blind nuts already attached; you
just bolt them in place. The engine mount is a very simple set of aluminum
bearers, set inside large polyurethane grommets, and provide excellent
isolation. The thrust angles are factory set already. You only need to set
your engine in, drill and tap the aluminum, and install. The tail wheel axle
assy is also attached. 

For the most fussy enthusiast (me) the fit of the belly pan and the canopy
is excellent and the finish on mine is good (in the mold painted). The fit
and accuracy of the wing and stab panels on the fuse is also excellent. Last
but not least is the set of full flying covers that each part comes in from
the factory.

Easily the best I have seen in an ARF. I give the plane's presentation in
the raw an A+

My friend has just started to fly his and the flying character is also
excellent and will be competitive in any class.
