Albatros 2.4E

Hello,
I bought this plane and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it because I am an experienced RC pilot and wasn't sure about the built-up wing, but as I was building it I started to like it more and more, and after flying it I am hooked! It flies great, thermals well and flying weight came out good too. I would recommend this plane to anyone with some building experience. Very fun to fly. I used the MVVS 25 3.5/1200 motor, the Jeti Advance 40 Pro SB Brushless ESC controller, and the Thunder Power 2700mAh Pro Force G8 70C Li-Poly Battery Pack for my power setup and I use Futaba radio gear 8FG with 7 channel receiver and HiTec servos: Hitec HS-5245MG's for the elevator and rudder, and Hitec HS-5085MG's for the flaps, and Hitec HS-A5076HB Digital Slim Karbonite Gear Servo's for the ailerons. Everything else is as called for in the instructions except for the Scorpion Receiver Power Backup Guard in case of battery cut-off of motor battery. The only thing I would like to see is more colors to choose from. Happy Flying :)
Sincerely, Kit O.
