This video is the unboxing, assembly with tips, and a quick maiden flight, my camera man is nocturnal these days, so hopefully I can get his assistance soon for a high quality flight vid!!
The assembly is SO EASY, they already have the control horns installed, you simply have to hook up your servo wires, screw on the wing and horizontal surfaces, connect the linkages and glue on the scale bits. Its that fast. And it looks great when assembled! Only gripes for me was the spinner got a little marred up in transport from the prop nut, the factory has been notified, and there was a couple little spots on the wing and fuse that had some touch up from the factory. Its barely noticable outside.
CG is 70mm, with a 3s 2200 lipo I put it all the way forward in the battery bay to get a good balance. This plane will do 4s also, I have not tested that yet. Control throws are 16mm on high rates for the ele and ail, and around 11mm on low rate. It really looks stunning in the air.

From Hobbykings website:
Durafly has once again shown its unique and creative style by bringing to market for a first time to Durafly a "What if" scheme. The Durafly 1100mm Seafire MkIIb has been designed with a spectacular blue color scheme similar to the planes flown by those honourable men of the United States Navy in the Pacific Fleet. Included with the Seafire we offer three different, unique sets of decals. United States Navy, Fighting 101st, Battle of Midway - 6th June 1842 Pilot - Capt. Zach M. United States Navy, "Christie Maria" Battle of Coral Sea - 7th May 1842 Pilot - Mark "Biggles" Fenlon. Royal New Zealand Air Force South West Pacific - 16th May 1843 Pilot - Lloyd "Pa" Freeman.
Being a Durafly plane you can expect the highest attention to detail for a plug and fly model. Especially when it comes to warbirds, including, scale parts, faithfully reproduced split flaps, servoless electric retracts, a scale outline, ball Links on all controls, fine surface detail and a premier paint finish along with an operating LED navigation system. There is a powerful motor is coupled with an Aerostar 50A ESC providing exciting scale performance and manoeuvrability. On the ground, it’s large rudder and steerable tailwheel have been designed to improve handling and its forward raked main gear makes takeoffs and landings far easier and more scale like. The Durafly Seafire is designed for 3s and 4s setups.
