Bonus round: For anyone inclined to install a smaller 80mm EDF, perhaps on 8s for higher speed or 6s 4000 for slower speed and lower operating cost/weight, the 90mm PNP’s box also includes two foam inserts to facilitate installing an 80mm EDF. We’ve flown our Hornet on 80mm 6s 4000, 80mm 8s 4000, 90mm 6s 4000/5000/5100/6000, and even 90mm 8s 4000. In addition to the 90mm 6s PNP, we’ll also have an ARF PLUS available

Here are some more:
  1. Battery Bay (disregard the rats nest, this was pre-production version and some of the leads they send were much longer than the final will be)
  2. landing gear
  3. flaps (nicely molded hinges and "open" from the top down view
  4. low-vis rudder servo
  5. the hidden elevator servo hatch behind the BUNO (just gets tacked on, my favorite minor detail)
