This kit came with an old-timer like glass fuselage. It was slightly heavy, the inner space was narrow and tail moment seemed to be short, I decided to scratch-build new fuse. I design the fuse 90mm longer so I named this modified airplane 'sb', 'stretched body'.

This pretty bird climbs well at about 40% throttle and cruises at about 30% throttle. During cruising flight, it is so silent that you can hear the high frequency switching tone from ESC. Motor running time comes about 20 minutes with 360mAh pack, flying time comes 25 to 30 minutes with some thermal assistance.

Tail group is removable for ease of transport.
