Recently purchased this jet and flew it for the first time with an Admiral RX600SP receiver and a 3S 2200 battery. I found the CG to be perfect (a touch nose-heavy) and the plane flew like a dream! This plane is fast but will fly fairly slow without stalling. Great handling (flew on low rates) and very easy to follow due to the colors. It does need some assembly which was part of the fun.

This is tricky model to put together, but it has great lines and it looks great once it is put together. It has a powerful motor. I haven’t flown it yet, but I am looking to it

This plane was my first edf that wasn’t umx, it flies really good , 3 minute flight time with 3.80 in each cell after. Assembly went well , took about an hour. Just watch the roll rate it rolls quite fast.

This is my fourth one of these. This is a fun and great little plane please don't get me wrong. With that said you get what you pay for and for 100 bucks don't expect to get much durability. The plane is a blast to fly and if something does happen to it you are not out of 1000's of dollars. At some point you are going to have paint to peel off or a servo to go out or some malfunction but again you get what you pay for. Would I buy another one of these perhaps if the mode strikes me. Don't get me wrong if you get one of these you can't go wrong and they are a lot of fun.

This is my second of this F9F plane and second attempt to enjoy this plane after the first one had a clevis failure. Thank you to Motion RC for working with me to share making things right. Truly happy with their Service.I took time to properly balance the plane and used a Z-bend on the elevator connections instead of the clevises.This plane flew very well. Seems a little under powered from hand launch but once up to speed, it was a blast to fly.On landing, it will glide forever so give it plenty room for landing.Overall, very happy with it and would buy it again.

I bought the whole package; the rc plane and the upgrades (landing gear, upgraded EDF, upgraded ESC). the plane was nice and was flying ok with the stock system. Now, with these upgrades, is a real blast. Nothing else to talk about it. This is my second F9F.

The plane is fairly easy top assemble. Take your time with the epoxy.Setting up the gyro in my Graupner Falcon took some time.

I fly my F-9 Panther with the landing gear set and never had any of the CG issues that I have read in other reviews. Maybe this model was meant to operate with them (?). The landing gears are robust and make landings and take off very easy to perform in short distances even on short grass. The flying is predictable and very stable. It is easy to fly and lands smoothly like a glider. And what I like the most is the unique sound that the combination of exhaust duct + fan produces. It is really a pleasure to see her fly!
