<div>Jay - </div>
<div>I did one last year as an entry level pattern plane -- it worked fine for that. Built out of the box as instructed mostly to see how it was. I'd have changed some stuff, but it was all acceptable as delivered. </div>
<div>120AX was the right amount of power - got thru Masters sequence on 2/3 throttle w/ a 16x8 prop. </div>
<div>w/ that engine it came it at 8 lbs +/- an ounce. </div>
<div>Should work fine for Sportsman / Intermediate pattern and as a practice bird. For less than $150 for the ARF it's tough to beat. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>More detail in my review in the Jan or Feb 07 K-Factor </div>
<div><br>Just one note - I've heard of several that arrived w/ no instruction booklet; I have it in electronic version if needed. </div>
