The reviews are just people bitching
I read the reviews on this, yes the instructions are vague, but they are nothing like the reviews stated, I have never build a balsa plane before.... ever, and it’s very simple to look at and build, the parts are very well cut and fit great together, just don’t glue your fingers together like I did. I will buy another kit for this brand without hesitation. Very complete kit!

Leaves A LOT to be desired
Knew I was chancing it by ordering a kit thats been rebranded (Viloga? but really its just a Dancing Wings Hobby kit that they send out) read reviews that say you NEED modeling experience and they are correct. The instructions leave A LOT to be desired. This will be my first and last time ordering from a non name-brand kit manufacturer as the laser cut parts are not very precise and seemingly made of the lowest quality balsa and ply ive ever had my hands on. The two fuselage halves were over 5mm off and that was not a function of thrust angle as many slots didnt line up, lots of sanding and checking to get the halves to line up and still certain slots needed to be adjusted. The battery hatch requires the cowling be cut in a funky shape to function, there is no way to make the wings removable with the way the fuselage comes together, and there is apparently no consideration for a receiver as there is no location to mount it that would remain accessible after install (besides in the battery tray??) although its marketed as being electric and even has an option to purchase electronics with the kit - there is no motor box included or any instructions on thrust angles.... Save the headaches and spend the little extra on a proven kit manufacturer.

Decent kit that can fly
It’s a fairly good kit that goes together well if you’re already comfortable building planes. The instructions aren’t perfect, but easy enough to interpolate when information is missing.Flies well, but I did have to reinforce where the landing gear attaches with some thicker plywood.

Great quality and customer service
Very precisely cut pieces and quality parts. I needed to contact customer service and they responded the same day and were quick to resolve the issue. So much fun to build and a beautiful finished product. I have purchased two planes.

Crappy directions!
Ok, I have built about 6 planes in the past. This plane has the worst directions by far! Very little to no details! If you never built a plane before you be in big trouble. You will miss things and you will also glue things together that should not be glued. I did not look for more details online. But, why should I have to? Give them to me! I can only that hope that having built many in the past will help. If I wasnt 3/4 done putting the fuselage together I would return it. If I do get it to fly I dont think it will fly very good.

Exceptional cub
The laser cut parts were extremely well cut and designed. I wish it was always this good. My cub is a BEAST! I could not be any happier.

Fun build!!
The instructions are for making it a model, and not a flying model. The kit provides everything to make it fly. Minus transmitter and receiver. But the instructions don't apply to installation of the motor, or ESC. No instructions on installing the paper hinges either. If you're a beginner, beware!! I struggled but I'm happy with the end result.
