Got mine too but kit form.

The quality is splendid.


I love the decals, very high quality, not just a sticker but blends into the foam.

Only regret is the optional landing gears released too late for me and it is bk now.

Here you go lazerous - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uploads/1034590990X95850X38.pdf

I think there are some faults in certain pages but it should be good. Sort of rushed through it, sorry!


Copter, it's ok mate, belly-land for now. Have some tape to protect the belly. ;) Did you got the blue or red Stinger?

Oh, remember to give it a good throw!

Trumpy!
Does anybody know how to cancel a bid on e-Bay?
I put in a bid for a “Cowboy Outfit” and it seems I’m only six minutes away from owning the Australian Labor Government !

thanks for the pdf, I like to digest the destructions before the plane arrives as there is a chance I will actually read them. But if I get the instructions and the plane at the same time well I aint reading them as I want to get stuck in ;)

Thanks Troels, powered up the little guy and my room got rather windy! Definitely packed with lots of thrust for some superb speed.

Completed the built, took a little longer than others as I was admiring and exploring the design of it then took apart the fan unit for some threadlocking..

CG with 183grams 2200mah 3S Nanotech is nicely seating center of the little pockets for your fingers to grip onto the Stinger for hand launching.

Threadlocked - Set screw on the rear of the motor which holds the motor shaft and Two screws which fasterns the motor to the fan housing.


LOCKED!
High-frequency vibrations of the EDF unit can shake things up and out! Secure them!


Did some trimming on the side edges of the elevators and ailerons.(Sorry, did not took pictures)

Then I got bored and decided to trim excess molding on the included tool too!

Tooled


I'm still poundering on the idea of using a Plush 40amps esc for maiden or should I do it after?

Flying weight at 630 grams.

- Stock [/URL]Stinger 64
- 3S 2200mah Nanotech
-
FrySky ACCST 4ch RX
- Low-voltage Alarm and reader


Static test amp draw @ 30amps max on stock ESC.

Scheduled maiden on Sunday late afternoon, fingers crossed!


Despite having short finger nails, my nails are still piercing into the foam at the hand launch pockets. Solution - Paste some left over velcro onto it. Feels much better now. :)



Soft Touch
