FreeWing CTLS review (part 1)

If you've learned to fly an RC plane then the FreeWing CTLS would make an ideal "next step" from your trainer.
It's a lovely plane, albeit the quality control was sadly lacking, at least on the unit I received.
As you can see in the video, there were some issues, but nothing that could not be fixed and, since the build-time is only around 5 minutes, it's not such a big deal to have to "put right" some of the annoying oversights.
I have fitted a Zippy 2200mAH 3S lipo pack to mine and it balances perfectly -- even though the manual suggests a 1500-1800 pack.
In the next video, I'll show you how it flies -- and it flies very, very nicely.
This particular model was purchased from Hobby Paradise.
