Unboxing
All the parts of this plane were nicely packed and wrapped in bubble wrap. There were no shipping damages when i recieved it! When you open up the box, you will find the following:
2 wing halves
Fuselage
Horizontal stabilizer
Vertical stabilizer
Hardware(EZ Adjusters, control horns, glue, etc)
Landing gear
Decals
Propellers(8x6x3)
Assembly
All the servos and the motors are preinstalled for you. The first step to assembly is glueing the 2 wing halves together. Dont use the recomended glue, because it isnt strong enough, and they dont provide enough of it. For the wing, i used Gorilla Glue Epoxy. Anyway, when you have smeared glue all around the wing half, stick them together and make sure they are lined up right. To keep them in line, use the little black peice of plastic that is used to screw in the wing.



By this time, the wing epoxy will be dried and you can start working on the wing. At the bottom of the wing, there will be an area where the carbon fibre tube is glues in. Go ahead and glue that in. Now you can go ahead and glue in the landing gears. I reacomend using epoxy because the entire weight of the plane depends on the landig gears strength. DO NOT GLUE IN THE LANDING GEAR SUPPORTS!!! oLY GLUE IN THE ACTUAL GEAR! If you dont do that, you'll have a hard time putting the wing cover on.
Now on to installing the ESC's. Nitroplanes claims that it comes with 2 40A ESC's , but mine came with 2 30A. All yu have to is plug in the wires, and stuff the ESC into the ESC compartment. Also, you want to thread the esc wires and aileron servo wires through the provided hole. Once, all that is complete, glue on the Wing cover that hides the wires.

In this kit, you have to provide a reciever. I personally useda AR6210 DSMX Spektrum Reciever. Here is the best, and most convienent way to mount the rx:

THe second last thing you need to do before you fly is stick on the decals. They are pretty self explanitory. Just look at teh box if you need help. (I recomend you dont install the Dynam decal because it ruins the scale look.lol)
So open up the canopy hatch and put in the battery. Dynam recomends a 2200mah 3s 15c. I used a SkyLipo 3s 2650mah 30c pack.


Bind the plane and your ready to maiden it!
Flying
When i plugged in that battery for the maiden flight, i basically crapped my pants because this was my biggest plane ever. 58 inches!! I set the plane in the middle of the runway(it has no stearable wheel) and walked back to the flight station. I gave it full elevator so it didnt nose over on takeoff. I gave it around half throttle. She took about 20ft to take off! The sound of this plane was amazing with the twin 400 size motors!! I was doing scale flying and all, the plane was fast and powerful if you needed it and had a low stall speed. The C47's stall is basiclly a short nose dive. After flying for 5minutes, I take it around for a landing. You MUST land with 1/4 throttle!! The plane just doesnt glide enough for a gliding landing. Te plane hada beautiful landing!
Heres a summary of how it flies:
1. It will do all the fancy-schancy tricks but it looks weird witha WWII transport.
2. It is responsive and basically flies on rails.
3. It will not gllide for you!
4. 3 point landings are super easy with 1/4 throttle. the plastic landing gear struts are really, really strongfor hard landings.
5. It'll handle the G's you give it
6. Gets around a 12minute flight time.
So after celebrating my successful maiden, it went to take flight number 2. I took off and it was great. I was doing more scale flying. All of a sudden, the plane starts a slight dive and turns. I struggle with it for a little bit. I come for a landing and some dude says "On the field!" So i was forced to land on the far end on the field. I walked over thinking there was nothing seroius going on. All of a sudden, i see a slight bit off smoke comeing out!!!! I ran to it, and unplugged the battery. I noticed that the ESC was buring up!!! I ripped it out, and threw it away from me. I burnt my hand though
I also had a situaltion where 1 of the motor's bearings jammed while flying. The motor wouldnt move at all.
But overall, THe plane can fly and land with 1 engine out.
Conclusion
This is what my final thought on the plane are:
Good:
1. THe build is simple, and parts are relitively cheap
2. THe scale landing gear is strong
3. It flies on rails and lands with a fun challenge.
4. It is a cool decaration if you dont want to fly it!
Bad:
1. Be prepared to replace a could thing. Like the motors.(Bad bearings)
2. Doesnt glide
3. My elevator was slightly warped.
Overall, i would recomend it to a friend. It is awesome seeing this flying through the air, escorted by a fighter at the field!
