Also, this one seems from someone looking for more than scale flight.

GOALS:
I am going to outfit my model with a light Outrunner Brushless motor for scale flight with a little margin of power to off-set not having ailerons and under-camber wing design.
My goals is just to fly it scale and enjoy the looks of it in the air, period.

Actually, this is my 2nd attempt in getting one as last August 2013 someone stole one from my front door!
I am hoping to receive this 2nd one by Monday of next week!
