I looked at the online manual. Looks like a 3rd generation photocopy that was scanned in. Not the best but good enough I could get the plane together.
Other than that it looks pretty typical of an inexpensive ARF. I'd probably toss the metric hardware and use standard stuff. I'd also look for obvious weak spots and for joints with no glue.
<<< just noticed free shipping at $125 so they're not making up for a low price by overcharging for shipping >>>
<<< BP Hobbies changed their name this year from Balsa Products. I have heard of Balsa Products but have never purchased from them. >>>

It looks like the CMPro Extra that many other companies sell. You may find some better info under the CMPro name.
