Relatively easy assembly as an experienced builder. I liked several innovative construction technics, shock mounted landing gear, bolt on engine/motor mount bulkhead, post style control horns and bolt together vertical and horizontal stabilizers to name a few. I have not yet been able to fly it yet due to weather her in the Midwest.
I have not flown this airplane as yet but wanted to talk about the build, as there are no other reviews. I am impressed with the build. The wood quality and covering is good. This plane bolts together like Great Planes used to. The covering is outstanding -- no wrinkles. The hardware package is also of good quality. Here are some misses: The ailerons, rudder, and elevator are hinged with Robart style hinges. The only problem is they used too much hot glue, and I had to carefully clean out the glue around the hinges to get anything to work. After putting the airplane together I noticed that the distance between the horizontal stab and the wings were off by 3/8-inch from left side to right side. All-in-all this is not a bad ARF and will probably fly ok. But I would not expect it to do perfect aerobatics..
