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!

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.

terrible product
Very disappointed in this product. Directions are incomplete and does not explain anything. Will never suggest this for anyone.

Instructions are a struggle
The instructions are missing many details, but we’ll cut balsa wood with part labeling.

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.

Good price
As described but instructions even for an expirence builder leaves a lot to be desired. Not for beginners

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.
