I spotted this on my Facebook feed and with it being relatively unique in the RC market I thought I would get one. Bit pricey at 260 USD but why not? After buying it I also saw another scheme I really like so brought that on impulse as well. Import tax plus handling fee by Parcel Force into the UK pushed this 737 up to to 320 USD !

2 weeks later it arrived and was a little concerned as the brown paper wrapped polystyrene box just had a plain cardboard lid. When a manufacturer can't be bothered with nice packaging and graphics on the outside of the box it leaves you wondering about the effort that has been invested in the actual contents of the box.

During assembly I found that some of the back plates for the horns were missing and most of the screws were too short to go through the control surfaces to hold the horns on. All the horns had to be drilled to 2mm so the clevises would fit. All small problems but not what you expect in a modern ARF kit.

All the electronics and wires inside the model were tangled so after straightening that out and setting up the receiver I discovered one of the elevator servos was not working. Just gave a constant buzz and didn't move on the servo tester. 2 new servos ordered from a UK online shop and a few days later the assembly was complete.

CG balance as stated in the manual could only be achieved with a 4S2500 pack. I suspect a slightly larger capacity pack could be used but no idea how a 4S pack of reasonable capacity could be used to get good CG as stated in the manual without moving a lot of the electronics inside the fuselage. In the end we went with a 4S4500 pack for the first 2 flights.
