Hi Steve,

Thanks for the inquiry, we are currently working on the pricing structure for both the ARF and ARC version of this model.

I just received the sample model this past Friday and there were truly no surprises when it comes to the fit, finish and quality of this model.

I have been flying models produced by Mr Park for the past 10 years and in the RC Pattern Community his models represent at least 85-90% of the models being flown across the globe. His attention to detail is excellent.

Stay tuned, more info will be coming soon

Removal of top hatch allows access  from nose to trailing edge of wing. Plenty of room to access motor, esc, timer, etc.

This model does not have adjustable lead-outs but as you can see in the picture, there are 3 different choices of bellcrank position which are easily adjustable. In addition, I am told there will be optional bellcranks available for purchase.

Beautiful model. But; what is the point of moving the BC? To locate the Battery?

I noticed it has a full flying stab (?) And I don't see any flaps..... does the wing move? I've seen that done in race gliders where the was the elevator and ailerons.

Nice, Jerry

There's no provision for mounting the battery?

There is a tray, you just have to mount it. All that will be shown as this review continues.

Hi Jerry,

When you move the BC fore and aft it is the same effect as moving lead outs.
The wings do not move.  They are stationary. The wings however are considerably larger than what everyone is used to seeing to compensate for no flaps. This extra lift will provide the stability needed for the sharp corners.

Hi Jerry,

My mistake, I misunderstood the information I was given on the effect of moving the BC. I will get clarification from the designer and re-post the information.
