Introduction:

 

The

 

Mystique

 

is

 

a

 

beautiful

 

ARF

 

and

 

one

 

of

 

the

 

best

 

quality

 

kits

 

I

 

have

 

seen.

  

This

 

baby

 

is

 

big,

 

so

 

watch

 

yourself

 

going

 

through

 

doorways

 

with

 

those

 

wings!!

  

The

 

kit

 

is

 

an

 

easy

 

build,

 

but

 

requires

 

a

 

lot

 

of

 

patience.

  

The

 

motor,

 

ESC,

 

and

 

radio

 

installation

 

is

 

easy,

 

but

 

the

 

wings

 

take

 

some

 

time

 

to

 

do

 

right.

  

I

 

have

 

already

 

worked

 

out

 

all

 

the

 

bends

 

and

 

tricks

 

you

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

shoe

 

horn

 

in

 

the

 

servos

 

and

 

get

 

the

 

recommended

 

control

 

throws

 

to

 

fly

 

this

 

awesome

 

glider.

  

Have

 

fun,

 

and

 

take

 

your

 

time.

  

You

 

will

 

be

 

rewarded

 

with

 

an

 

excellent

 

flying

 

"full

 

house"

 

glider.

  

If

 

you

 

are

 

worried

 

about

 

the

 

cost,

 

I

 

compared

 

it

 

to

 

setups

 

of

 

equivalent

 

size

 

and

 

quality,

 

and

 

you

 

will

 

pay

 

up

 

to

 

twice

 

as

 

much

 

for

 

other

 

gliders

 

of

 

this

 

capability

 

and

 

quality.

  

The

 

Mystique

 

is

 

a

 

great

 

value,

 

and

 

flies

 

like

 

a

 

dream.

  

It

 

really

 

is

 

that

 

good.

 

Starting

 

Out:

 

The

 

Mystique

 

is

 

about

 

95%

 

pre

built,

 

and

 

you

 

are

 

basically

 

putting

 

in

 

the

 

electronics

 

and

 

power

 

system.

  

If

 

you

 

use

 

the

 

recommended

 

equipment,

 

it

 

makes

 

things

 

easier.

  

The

 

wings

 

and

 

horizontal

 

may

 

require

 

some

 

ironing

 

of

 

the

 

covering

 

as

 

temperature

 

changes

 

can

 

cause

 

wrinkles

 

between

 

you

 

and

 

the

 

factory.

  

Make

 

sure

 

you

 

use

 

a

 

nice

 

covering

 

iron

 

with

 

a

 

cotton

 

sock.

    

Follow

 

the

 

manual

 

carefully

 

except

 

where

 

noted

 

in

 

this

 

write

 

up.
