Complaints:
The glue supplied in the kit takes forever to dry, so toss it in the trash and use some 5min epoxy. I couldn't get the plane to balance no matter how far I move the equipment forward (without modification). I've heard of others having the same problem. My solution was to move the motor out further on a longer stick. See the pictures below, the motor is outside of the cowling.
Besides that, piece of cake.
Flying:
The plane flies excellent, and has plenty of power. This plane will fly in a SLIGHT breeze, so when its just barely too windy for my StarLITE, I can still get some flights in. My only complaint would be that the Lite Stik's wing would probably fold in a loop, or any other violent maneuver when using the included method to join the wing halves. This can be remedied by several methods... Perform a search on www.rcmicroflight.com to see what everyone is doing to correct this problem. If you just want to fly, you won't have any problems.
