10 Jul 09 - The model was bought as ready to run, but a few changes needed to be made before use. Mostly it involved swapping the receiver for one compatible with Graupner/JR radio gear, shortening the servo and speed controller leads (they almost reached to the nose). The model had 28g of balance weights on top of the rear fuselage above the duct. I scalloped out the battery bay about 6mm to move the battery backwards and remove most of the balance weights.
5 Jul 09 - I bought this on eBay on 4 Jul 09 and collected it today.
