X-Dream my first RES modelExcellent service and delivery.
Kit quality, wood and plan are great. Although I have built a number of models, I had to read the online building notes a number of times to understand build sequence and also dry fit everything before gluing. Can't wait to fly her.

Very nice kitOrdered kit Thursday, showed up Monday, first flight Friday morning at 15.0 oz. All that in eight days - I'm impressed! Sweet flyer too.

Got there kit within 3 days of ordering, really well packed. A quick look at the wood shows really well chosen balsa and ply with clean laser cutting. Can't wait to clear the building board and get started.

X-Dream purchaseI haven't yet begun construction, but the kit arrived very quickly, double-boxed, and in pristine condition. Material and plan quality appear to be top notch.

X_DreamI haven't finished the build yet, but so far I am very pleased and very impressed.
On unboxing the quality of the materials and the laser cutting are excellent and it's a very complete kit. As I start to assemble, there are lots of clever design features that help to build the X_Dream to a high quality. Would recommend

X DreamBought this as sometimes going to the east coast when wind forecast is 12 but when you get there it is 5/6 mph as a lightweight flyer and yes it does fly very well in light winds and also with the c/f ballast tube in and 280 mm of brass in it it coped admirably in 15 mph.laser cutting is excellent especially the complex fus doublers, next to no fettling throughout the kit. Glue ! I used cyano in some parts but gluing the false LE used Ailiphatic resin as it is sandable also for the LE and the front of the d box sheets .To attach them I used Super phatic to glue them to the ribs as it is much more controllable than cyano. Only used 1roll of Lw covering for the whole model without skimping or taking too much care with overlap scrap.There are planes that seem expensive but fly very well and there are cheap ones that look good but do not, this is in the former category.

X-Dream Build and FlyingFirst of all, this kit is of the highest quality in materials and laser cutting. The manual is in German and translating it was easy using Google but as usual computer translations are not the best. The wing as is with all aircraft is the most difficult part, just study the plans and parts and use your best judgement, the rest is easy. I finally got a chance to test fly today, and wow!!! First toss was perfect, I flew nearly 30 seconds off a gentle toss. It has to incredible hang time and the control response is very crisp. Unfortunately after 4 great flights my rudder control horn came loose, no crash just noticed the rudder was way out of trim, and the reason was obvious. Would have been a 2 minute fix had I remembered to bring some glue. I highly recommend this kit, I have $600 2.5 meter Pulsar Pro and this little guy has longer legs and better control.
