    I ordered the kit to support these guys and built one from scratch. Nice flying plane! This was just my second plane. FPV on this is great. I also scratch built a 15 inch version with some modifications and it flies very well. I love the work these guys do.

    I'm blown away by the fact that it actually FLIES!!! 😵 I'm excited USAF... The F-22 Raptor requires SO MUCH in the way of Avionics, JUST TO STAY IN THE AIR, that a Computer Failure REQUIRES Bailout!!! Yet this flies easily, with simple Elevon Mixing, and NO Rudder Control. I'm staggered!! I'm more Impressed with what you guys do for the RC Community. You deserve accolades!! ~ Carmine 💥 ⛽

I have found a super mini HD camera, and have a plan on making a new canopy design, with the camera build in. But I need to copy some of the dimensions on the standard canopy, I only want to change the front of the canopy, so the camera blends in. It would then be easy to change camera canopy, to the standard canopy, If the plan fails :-) Thanks for super assembly videos.

    I bought the F22 and the first time I flew it flipped upside down and the two tail spars hit the ground the two spars are ok but it ripped the water proof paper away from the plane. I don't know if this is a problem with the water proof paper or not, but I thought I would just let you know. With the white paper planes when I would crash I would just get cracks in the joints, i.e. the hot glue points and the connection points for the power pod, the end spars, but never in the paper itself.
