Just picked mine up at lunch, found that a LHS had one left so I jumped on it.
Paint quality is bleh, motor/stuffing tube need to be re-aligned, but otherwise it looks solid. I was expecting both, so it wasn't a shock or disappointment.
I'm going to pull the flex and see how well it's soldered, and likely redo it. I'm also going to check the strut bushing to make sure its drag free. Deans are also coming off for some 5.5mm bullets as well.
Any other things I should look at before getting it wet?
I'm considering picking up the UL-1 rudder blade in place of the stock pickup, any thoughts on that?
Suggestions on a prop? I'm hearing good things about the x642 or m445 on it. I'm leaning towards the m445 but I haven't found one in stock anywhere.
