So I was getting ready to leave my girlfriends house in town today to head back up to the sticks where I live when my phone started ringing. Normally I blow off any call that my cell doesn't have a name for. I opted to answer for whatever reason and to my surprise it was John at the local hobby shop telling me the first 200 SD had arrived and was behind the counter with my name on it. Needless to say I was there in 10 minutes with it in my hands. I have to say its quite nice and Im very happy to see what I can do with this little bird. The bottom of the canopy was a little cracked up near the frame but its very very minor. My only question is as follows. How come those little links fall off the balls on the tail grip holders so easily. Literally I can tap it and the link will fall off the ball. Something funky there?

Very pleased though! Got 3 hs45's to go in and will be making my gyro decision shortly!

Congrats! Your gonna like it. Some have had issues with loose links and some have been too tight. Pick up a pack of links if you think they are too loose shoud fix it. Mine are pretty loose but don't fall off. It's your call. Have fun flying that little bugger. We all do! :thumbup:

I had the same concern, as much as they seem like they will lock up/fall off, they don't!! Its a little unnerving but go with it. Congrats

Kinda scary. Ill pick up another pack of links when I order my gyro and a few other things for it. Cant wait to get this thing flying though.

Today ended up being an expensive day. My Combat Wing is currently lodged in a 30ft tree where it looks like it will be spending the night. Chances are it might blow out over night but that dont mean Ill find it. Its equipped with a lipo and a nice brushless setup as well as my ar6100 and some hs82mgs. By my guess the lipo will be dead in the morning if I even get it back. Not a happy night.
