    Are these coming with 12 bladed setups now? Saw a picture on RCG that suggested they do now.

      I bought mine back in late June of this year and it had the standard 5 blade fan units in the plane.

              decided to go ahead and return this one... to me ,paying another $80 to upgrade it to 12 blade setup just isnt worth it for such a small plane.

                    I was on the fence with the 5 bladed fan but with 12 it's a no brained for me, I'm going to order it when I get to the office.

                                Mine will be here (Georgia) on Tuesday. Which is good because Wednesday is my late day to start class so I can stay up building it, lol.

                                    I was wondering the same thing....I know from watching some youtube videos, that some people reinforce the wings with a carbon fiber rod. But haven't seen how to do that

                                      I had one about 6 mo ago ...lost it when I let it get too far away on a gray overcast day...man that gray camo works lol...I went with the suggested throws If I remember correctly only thing I didn't like was the way the wing attached with a tounge in front and two screws in back....wing always seemed loose side to side....think if its still that way ill glue my wing on

                                        It is still that way. The first thing I did was get rid of that dinky screwdriver and use one of my regular sized ones. Get a lot better torque that way. This was my first build and the part that stumped me the most was fixing the tail section and how to route those wires to get it flush. I plan on painting mine and orange and black scheme after I get some flights in and am comfortable with it. Yeah it isn't scale, but I'll sacrifice some scale for visibility, lol
