Personally I can't stand the elevator design.

PS A twin engined version is also available.

If you order the twin version from us east its coming up with £0 for the model and £16 for shipping but it can only go to a us address, what a bargain if you know anyone in the us

I'm fairly sure the $0 price tag is a mistake. You'll have to let us know if they honour it.

No shock here but i really like it.... I watched an unpacking review and was suprised at the versatility of this slow flying docile beast.  Ah the dome... take it off, build a mod.... yet some of you are flying Talons (which have a dome)

The top canopy comes off so you can mount more stuff up top above the dome.  It's a shame it is £200+ which is silly money for what it is.  The Skua is coming in at £135 ... another ugly bird but a viable option considering the price.

Mounting the VTX on the tail?  There's bags of room inside, 3 levels to fit things in and personally I'd go for the single engine option as the nacelles on the twin engine option look like it will have the same problems the skymule suffered from.
