    Maidened the 84” TurboBushmaster!! What a nice flying plane! Zero trim!! I forgot the top battery hatch, but that didn’t stop me. 8min of scale flying for my 4200 6S I loved playing with the flaps, with a light breeze it just floats. I only used low rates, but super responsive plane, and felt...

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Definitely wasn’t a whole lot of glue on it from the factory. I was surprised the ply wasn’t supported with anything other than glue. Gotta lighten them up somehow I guess! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are you saying a removable canopy or what kind of canopy. I am amazed you even got it the way it was! Im thinking you mean round it off or something along those "lines"?

    935, but I had a little discount (built that PA-18 super cub for the owner). You can buy the 18SZ all day long for 1050 shipped. Or barley used for about 875.
