Don't even think about buying this kit! 1st Instructions show 2 DIFFERENT PICTURES when assembling wings. 1st pict shows the WRONG placement of the carbon rod spar. TWO pictures latter the spars are shown in the CORRECT PLACEMENT rendering both half's you just built USELESS. 2nd- And even if you did manage to correct that mistake, THE HOLES TO MOUNT THE WING TO THE CORRECT POSITION ON THE FUSELAGE DON'T EXIST. 3rd- There is no receiver to be found that will connect to the ultra mini servos supplied with the kit. Thankfully, AMAIN HOBBIES GAVE A FULL REFUND which I intend to apply to the 1000mm kit.
Great little kit. Just make sure you have a rx that takes 1mm jst sh plugs. I could not find a spektrum compatible rx.
Micro rx is on the DWhobby.com website $35 to $40! Instructions have poor text /no indication of what size rods go where. Parts are too micro for my fat fingers. With something this small get a park/indoor flyer rtr/artr unless you like gluing toothpicks together. The carbon fiber sides are nice just necessarily thin. Go with the larger bobber
Three verified reviews, two rating the 600mm kit 1/5 and one 4/5. Reviewers agree the kit's parts are very small and that a compatible receiver is needed, since the included ultra-mini servos use 1mm JST-SH plugs and a Spektrum-compatible receiver was hard to find. Two reviewers report assembly problems: the instructions show conflicting wing spar placement and text is poor, and one reports that fuselage wing-mount holes were missing. One reviewer received a full refund from the seller. The positive review calls it a good little kit and praises the carbon fiber sides, while noting the parts are thin. Reviewers suggest a larger Bobber version or a ready-to-fly model for less experienced builders.
