- A friend of mine recently purchased the Shogun from Hobby Shack. It is
- a nice little kit but it is very VERY small. Mini servos are almost a must
- as well as a mini receiver pack. The plane is not light for it's size so a
- brisk wind is also a must. This is NOT a beginner aircraft. It will take
- a few good knocks but I can see that it would not be a fun plane to learn
- on.
