Hello,
Been fancying one of these for a while and at £65 (in shop) it was a steal. http://monarchmodels.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_14&products_id=35. (http://monarchmodels.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_14&products_id=35.)
Its also a unusual construction, its a layer of thin plastic over 3mm depron!
So how does she fly?
For a 3ch Rudder,elevator and throttle it flys well. She does need alierons though. I've got some hinges, pushrods etc and some spare 5.5g servo's to do this with. I may also set these to flaps as to land it on my grass runway at the club i have to land way above stall speed (which is quite low) but i have a short approach due to trees. I land it on almost all 3 to stop it from nosing over. I've tried it on 2s and 3s. It defiantly flys better on 3s due to that little extra weight, more power and just more everything. It also so happens my FPV stuff needs 3s :D
Here is a picture after 6 flights:
I hope the aileron conversion arrives here today, so i can test it LOS over the weekend and hopefully test it FPV :D

Looks good Liam :)
So the aileron conversion went well, however the Control horns I brought were too small. I mod'd some control horns to fit. They are hot glued and fit nice. I also managed to bevel one of the ailerons upside down, and I cut my thumb in the process. But it doesn't look that bad.
I am also in the process of making a camera mount to sit level with the wing. And to have the prop in center view.

Looking good so far, looks like it has potential :)
taking shape nicely, liam.
Here is more pictures,
There is plenty space in the fuse for the wires and vtx.
You can tell parkzone spent time developing and perfecting this plane as there is lots of down and left motor angling.
