Just finished my first FT plane (Turbo Tutor) and have flown it a few times. Nice plane.
One problem/complaint - the landing gear is pretty flimsy - I'm a relatively new pilot and, if I don't really have the nose up on landing and land very smoothly (still a rarity for me) - it bends the gear backwards as well as pushing them outward - eventually striking (and damaging/breaking) the prop. I came up with a support (like "pants") that keeps them from bending back and a spring between the two sides.
One other point - in the video he shows taping the connectors to the tail servos. That connection gets buried in the fuselage. Unfortunately I didn't tape them well enough and one came apart. That meant cutting a hole in the bottom to reconnect them. Ultimately, I did what I've seen elsewhere - tied them in an overhand knot - and zip-tied the knot. Just a suggestion - recommend the knot method instead of just tape - given the hassle if they come loose (like when pulling the tray out.)
Good luck in 2025
