This airplane has a wingspan of 1200mm (47 inch) and is made of EPO (expanded polyolefin) foam, which is an exceptionally smooth, crash-resistant, and light foam that is also very easy to repair. It is advertised as a 4-channel airplane (aileron, elevator, throttle, rudder), but I think it can easily be converted to a 5-channel airplane with flaps by cutting out the compressed outline around the flap sections and adding two more servos. This can definitely be a future project (if I will ever have time to get to it after all the RC aircraft I am planning to review in 2021). When I placed the order for this kit back in early December 2020, it was on sale for $49.99 and available from the U.S. warehouse of Banggood with free shipping. There were no build instructions in English that came with the kit or online. There was a video in Chinese showing how to build it (70 minutes long). So, I ended up making a detailed assembly video, also showing all the components that I used to complete this plane (you can watch these videos on my YouTube channel “Props & Wheels”). I did the maiden flight of this airplane on a cold and breezy day. Despite the high winds, it flew well and landed great. Later, I had a chance to fly this inexpensive but very nice Cessna 182 on a warmer and calmer day with even better results. I highly recommend this kit to any budget-minded intermediate RC pilot who likes to spend indoor time building airplanes and enjoys flying scale airplanes in a relaxed pace.
