This is ready to fly out of the box. Just wait for a calm day to maiden it.

No building necessary. It is put together in the box. Only the battery and wheels need to be put into o place.

Nope. Put the provided AA batteries in the transmitter. Plug the flight battery into the socket provided in the transmitter, and let it charge until the charging light stops blinking. Read the manual while you wait. Check that the elevator is flat (in line with) the horizontal stabilizer on the tail. If not, carefully open or close the little U in the elevator control rod to make it so. Probably will not be necessary. You can toss the plane into the grass to see if it has a tendency to pitch up or down and correct with the little U if so. When the battery is charged, you can trim the elevator with the trim tab also. Have fun. Nope. Put the provided AA batteries in the transmitter.

No...it comes completely assembled except for the transmitter batteries which are included in the box. Get a spare LiPo battery as well.

No, just put the batteries in the remote, charge the battery for the plane, and you are ready to go. (Note: I suggest you get a spare charger for the LiPo battery, because it really eats up the AA batteries in the remote)

Yes, when you get it, it has to be attached, globe to base, so you can refinish it then, before assembling it.

You would have to put it together. We can direct you to videos on how the process goes if you email in. Should take no more than 5-10 mins

It has to be assembled and it takes at least two people working together. Mine is still in the box.

No! You have to put it together from scratch. It was a bitch to put together but it's pretty sturdy and we love it!

Yes, you have to put it together, but it is not difficult. The instructions are good.

No you have to put it together. It is fairly simple. There are instructions inside. We put two together within fifteen minutes.

You have to build it. I don't remember my review very well, but I thought that I emphasized that the building of it was difficult for me as the instructions were very simple and not as helpful as they could have been. It's a nice unit, but you have to build it yourself and you need a lot of patience with the assembly.

I bought this for my sons birthday and ended up saving it for Xmas so I haven't given it to him yet. It looks like it's already assembled though.

I received instructions when I received my package. It also came with the needed materials to put it together. If you didn't receive it I would call the manufacturer and see if they will send you the instructions.

They will have you call and setup a delivery time. They brought it all the way up to my apartment, but did not inbox it... There was also minimal assembly required.

No. It comes in a bunch of pieces and takes a couple hours to put together. Also not easy to put together yourself. Might want to have someone help you.

I believe so! It's perfect...the only thing is make sure you build it on your own..don't follow those instructions. .you be wasting your time..:)

Hi: No you have to put together. The instructions are simple to follow. I got two of them and they are very strong.
1035231
Yes it needs to be assembled and it takes some time but it can be done. Look over the directions read through them a few times before starting

You have to build it yourself. It's not hard just needs two people. Put it together on an hour

You have to paint it and assemble it yourself. It comes in quite a few pieces.
