“Just did the maiden flight on my F9F Panther today and all I can say is WOW!. Got 5 minutes flight using a 1800mah 11.1v lipo pack. Very easy to hand launch and a great belly lander. Does all of the stunts that you would want a War bird jet to do and is very fast and the sound is awesome. Plane goes together very nicely and the directions are straight and to the point. Had it built in less than an hour with the supplied 5 min epoxy . It even came with a screw driver for the screws for the control horns. Can't wait for this weekend to take it to the field and show it off. Now I have to put my F-15 together, Hope it is as nice as this Panther!”
“Very complete kit, even had a screwdriver and glue for heavens sakes. Gorgeous in the air. I flew it with a 2200 just fine. I had it built in 90 minutes, and that's because of a few small things they didn't mention, like sanding the paint off surfaces to be glued.”
“I flew this plane well right after assembly and it has endured many great flights without a single tense moment. As a beginning flier, this is the plane to get if you are seeking some slow-flying, well controlled jet fun. Buy the optional landing gear and make this plane your favorite. You will not be disappointed.On assembly, make sure you glue the wings in place with epoxy, tho, because if you don't they may be a problem.”
“Flies beautifully now with a 2200mah battery..Getting a solid 5/6 min flight on 3s... Amazing and fun to fly now that cg has been established.. Hope this Help you.. Relax and just give a toss then full throttle.. Its never full throttle at launch.. just give her a heev then full throttle and away she goes... Lots of fun.. If you launch with full throttle you may dive it into the dirt.... Slightly up thats all...”
“Simply put, the best EDF Plane I've flown yet! I did the 12 blade upgrade 3S 2200mA battery and that's it. This plane is awesome! I was so fearful of the CG issues reported. But, cut out the battery tray from the battery hold strap and push that 2200ma battery all the forward and away you go.Very fast a pure blast! Thanks Freewing & MotionRC for this awesome kit!”
“I flew the airplane twice. I used the recommended cg in the manual. First flight it porpoises into the air. I glued it back together. I chatted with motionrc and they verified the cg was right. Second flight I added landing gear and as it took off it shoots straight up into the air again. Its definitely tail heavy. This time the fuse got it and there isnt enough left to glue it back together. If you buy this plan do not use the recommended cg in the manual. Listen to the reviews that say it is incorrect. 2 flights and I'm out 100 dollars so I give up. I'm an experienced RC pilot with over 60 planes so this wasn't user error.”
