    I flew mine today, and was very happy with the way it flies. I was VERY disappointed that the cheap plastic nose gear that came with the model bore no resemblance to the one in the pictures.
    There are a few other peculiarities, like the flap servo setup is done in a mirror image of each other, like aileron servos. So when one goes up, the other goes down. you have to reverse one servo.
    The cabin door is hinged, but the door can't be opened with the wings on.

      How does it land?

        It lands like butter. It slows down nicely with flaps, and the nosegear held up in spite of landing on grass that falls short of putting green quality..

          Anyone figure out anything else for a fix on the nose gear?
