Blake,

Looks like you will be rocking and rolling really fast. Hell even the box looks sexy.

Are you done yet??

How do you like that great customer service from Redwing. This company is awesome.

 

[bbrown2828]

Customer service gets A+ from me.. I do have to say I have been painting cars for 8 years, and the paint job on this cowl and canopy. Is by far the best I have seen on a rc airplane

I let my Slick go for a new Extra. Can't wait. You coming up to the KC event?

 

[bbrown2828]

I can't make the kc event.. already asked off for later in the month for another event.. wish I could but the funds only allow me to attend one big one this month lol

Got mine in and checked the contents. All safe and sound.



Bottom of the wings pretty basic. I Hope the orange on the top of the fuse will be enough for orientation.



Servo pocket is different for the ailerons from the other 3D brands. Probably better geometry.



The spinner is nice and the pre painted control horns is a cool touch. Also the ball links are very high quality. They are shiny black.

Blake, hopefully something you can address is where to properly put the aileron horn. I see 3 holes and you have to pick 2 of them and I will always pick the wrong one no matter what I do.
