    Is this plane for real or scam????

    I stumbled upon a 5000kv equipped modern-fighter themed plane that *appears* to have impeccable performance. It land on water/land, waterproof if gets submerged, has Spektrum’s AS3X plus SAFE-select , can even ascend a 45 degree rocky slope on its belly, and appears very sturdy. Seems perfect...

With good axles (or whatever the camera would turn on to keep it level) that don't have...

    First built quad log (Or V-tail?)

    I'm unsure if this will be a V-tail or a quad. I'm more interested in the authority that a Vtail has, with the advantage of the Tri without some of the negatives. (Such as: a motor goes out and the Tri crashes. Same is true for quad or V, but less likely to destroy all things.) I'm also...
