 A customers comments
I finally got the 310 back together thanks to the balsa parts you sent.  Re-covered the wings, etc, and flew it this morning.....
 
It went perfectly.....absolutely a great flying airplane.....required just a bit of up elevator trim and zero aileron trim.  I flew it for about 8 minutes and then landed it perfectly in front of all the guys at our field.  The plane is pretty stable if you just keep the speed up and don't go crazy with control rates.  It had a very manageable landing speed.
 
I am going to get used to it and may order a new kit from you next year....plan to build it a bit lighter and finish it better....this one was only the second kit I have ever built.
 
 If anyone needs advice on motors, speed controls, settings, etc......please refer them to me.  There are very few electric twins on the market...kits or ARFS.  This one is a winner.....even sounds neat when it buzzes by!
