How do you like the FlatOuts?

[flatspin]

I was thinking about getting a great planes 540 edge flatout plane but I was just wondering what some other people thought about them that have used them? What do you like and dislike about them? And maybe what would you rate it from 1-10 in overall quality?

I purchased a Cap 580 in May, and have not flown yet. They say that you can be flying in a few evenings. Not. There are many steps to the build, and the CA glue dries very slowly on the foam. They suggest CA activator and remover, this may help. Epoxy could be fast but to heavy. I built a section every night ot two over a month. Now I am trying to get a Li-Po that will charge. The one that came in the (kit) and my replacement failed. They tested the charger and thought that it was OK, but it seems to discharge the battery to 0. Now once again the parts are on backorder. I hope to fly soon and give a positive report.
I watched several of these fly a Fort Brag CA. this spring, and they were awesome and the reason that I got mine. I say go for it if you have basic 4 ch experiance. Just be patient. Alan
