Has anyone assembled this EP plane from Tower Hobbies? If so, I'd appreciate your comments concerning building, balance & flying.

The review explains only the obvious, easy parts. They avoided a video or photos of the test flight, "Because of bad weather".
Problem Examples: Where and how did you mount the harness On/Off Sw. I couldn't find a surface to mount it and they didn't supply the two screws and face plate.
Second: If you strap the motor to the cradle the way they indicate (with
2 zip-tie straps), it will lift the upper gear shaft and put a bind on the reduction gears. I solved this problem. If you're interested, send me your email address and I'll send a photo.If you had problems other than what I mentioned, maybe I could help you.
If everything works as good as they make it sound, this would be a fairly inexpensive park flier, especially if you already have a TX.
