Mine just arrived. Not as impressed as I'd hoped so far. NO servos are included, along with no motor/ESC. And it's totally unassembled, so you've got hours of gluing ahead of you. Basically it's just a bunch of bags of foam and plastic.
The design looks better, for sure: ailerons built in, rudder now bigger, brushless motor easier to mount. But I really can't see how they can justify the price, given that the Bixler is about half the price ($49 if you let the page site for a minute) and comes with the motor, all servos installed, and already assembled.
I just ordered one from Hobby Zone. At $94 without motor/ESC or aileron servos, it's pretty expensive. I suspect that the Bixler 2 will be a better deal when it's out, as it comes ARF.
just bought one at Hobby People Pasadena.
looks like some nice functional improvement.
no more hack job, ailerons pre formed in.
fuse hollow from nose to back of wing about 16"
inboard covered servos.
servicable moter mount with better mounting options.
set up for brushless no wires outside.

multiplex planes do fly better.
to me worth the price difference - also when o look at the transportation cost.

Hopefully dealers will put the original's on sale to clear out their stock....................I'll take a couple.
not really - we have been waiting also.
now local sellers have a few.
Finally! More than a year after it was available in Europe. I just don't understand Multiplex's distribution strategy. No wonder they're losing so much ground to the Chinese.
