It's out. At least here in So. Cal. I actually got the last one from my LHS (Airland) this afternoon. I was there picking up a new receiver and some parts for my new foamies. I just happen to walk in and saw it on display. So I asked if they were in and and I took the last one from Rudy today. He said they came in yesterday.
Have not had a chance to maiden it yet. I got tied up finishing my scratch build Yak 55 3D foamies. But the batteries are all charged up. Will try to maiden tomorrow for sure.

I talked to the hobby shop on Friday, the planes are supposed to arrive in our neck of the woods on Monday, and then my plane will be shipped and should be here by the end of next week.
Hopefully before next Friday. I'll be trying it out soon as I get it....

I flew mine over the weekend.
Not too shabby, get some extra props while you can.
Broke mine while taxing in the driveway, gust of wind tossed the tail and broke the prop.
Pretty durable little plane, I recommend flying over grass for the first few flights as it is "squirrely"
to say the least.
Dont hold your breath with the stock charger. I even had issues with my BNF mBcx helicopter.
The battery wouldnt even fit in the connector without several adjustments and the red charging light
never went out or blinked even after one hour.
My plane loved to nosedive, it was like one of those bad paper airplanes that just wont fly....
I had to install the battery as far aft as possible for it to fly level, and that in its own using almost full elevator up trim.

There's some videos in the threads at RCG. One person modded the location of the brick & servo to move CG aft more (seems many people think this bird is nose heavy) and they were able to do some hovering and other 3D maneuvers using the stock power system.

I picked up one of the 6 that came in today at my LHS. I'll post later tonight if I maiden it, though it'll depend on the winds outside. They're currently at 6 mph, which is probably too much for this little guy. I need to find an indoor spot, fast!

OK, I just came back from maidening mine in the front yard & street, and I like it. It has enough power for typical aerobatics and even something resembling a harrier, but I couldn't get it to hover for more than a second or two, perhaps because it does really have a very forward CG. It's squirelly all right - very roll-prone at lower speeds.
