    It fills all the boxes for me. Large so I can see it, sounds good and seems to handle just fine. May have to look into getting one of these.

      Nice, 30 bucks is better than a kick in the pants.

          Did you get directly from FMS? Have they shipped it yet? Horizon says these planes won't be available for N. American distribution till mid-Jan.

                  Ah, yes, I remember now .................. They did ship it .............. SingPost.
                  That must be TiredIron's shop. Hope he gives us "the full meal deal" like he usually does with new products.

                    That's James' shop (one of our shirts in the BG), I like the looks of the Fox...I've always wanted to build a long range FPV setup on something like that.

                      I purchased my plane directly from the factory.

                          She's definitely a beauty. I am just waiting on some 4000mAh Admiral 6s packs with XT60 connectors as I want to fly it as it comes rather than clip the xt60 and solder EC5's. Excited for this flight review. The build couldn't be easier and she comes apart easily, so no issue fitting it in the minivan. I am impressed with this one. Will definitely report back after the maiden

                                You should be getting close my friend ... mine took about a month to make the journey from FMS. It is a huge box and this is the worst time of year for them to have to try and get them to us. :(

                                  Thanks for the heads up, I am going to be on a two week vacation after today, so I wanted some time on the plane to paint it. I have all my decals , pilot and extra parts to put on it. I guess i should start on another airplane while I am waiting.

                                        You'd be surprised how many tickets we get for seemingly "easy" things that a simple video can thwart. And conversely, a lot of people may see the size get intimidated and not look further, but seeing just how simple it is can make a world of difference.

                                          I didn't know this. That's interesting that you've had this for this long and Horizon (who is attached at the hip to FMS) is still only taking pre-orders at the moment and delivery won't be till mid-Jan. FMS currently states "Out of Stock".
