Ordered this scheme, so glad they went with the 90mm. I purchased the 2 T-33s and although they fly great, they are just a little small for my taste. This is the perfect size for loading in my van. Will need some metal shading and heat tinting on the tail. I wonder if they will come out with an 8s version? A bit pricey, in line with my Eflite SU 30, but should fly great with the Aura. Noticed no gear door on the mains. This one will sell out fast.

It is a great looking plane at a fairly good price. My only worry is the front nose gear assembly. It is mounted into a thin area of the air inlet so how strong will it be to the occasional "Errant" landing. Was this section reinforced or just a plastic box glued in? Anybody have a read on this before I pull the trigger?

If all the other flex planes are an indicator, they have wooden supports on their landing gear mounts. Both my RV8 and Cap have them. My sons extra 300 does as well. My buddies flexjet also does, along with his mamba10 and cessna. These guys build their planes rugged. I have no doubt this one will receive the same treatment.
