Covering is not as high a quality as presented. More of a contact paper than typical r/c aircraft covering.

One day I decided to look into the box and it was love at first sight, so I put her together with a 12s edf jetfan 120mm and about $3100 into it— it was done with no regrets. I maiden the jet with no problems whatsoever, there was no trim needed, I mean none! I did but the esc for the 14s set up but I don’t think I will use it because she flies flawlessly.
