“I've attempted to enjoy this model, but it is my least favorite only because after several attempts of honing in on the c.g. it continues to spin out of control with only a slight amount of nose high stall. I've spun this aircraft more than I've enjoyed it. Originally I was excited to have a good small flyer, but this one isn't it. I used a 2200mAh 3c. The nose required a lot of weight with the battery full forward.”
“I've always liked this little jet.It seems to be built well and most all the pieces fit well considering it's foam. There were a few areas that had been squeezed but it's seems to spring back if you spend a bit of time on it.As soon as I figure out how to fly again (last time I flew an R/C plane was a round 1976 and it's changed a lot) I'm sure this will be a favorite.Thanks MotionRC, great service.”
“Build went fine. Piece of cake. Colors are great! Nicely detailed. Don't use the manufactures epoxy. If you're into RC you've got plenty of your own.CG?? - The manual calls for 45mm back from leading edge. Many reviewers debate this. With an 1800mah 3 cell pack in the front it feels like a brick in the nose. Wouldn't dare throw it like this. Added 1/2 oz weight in the tail cone. This seemed to balance must better. Had to open the belly panel to create a pinch point to allow a one handed overhead throw. Wish me luck. Will get back to you after maiden tomorrow.”
“This model is perfect for someone who has never had a jet before. Flying this is absolutely more fun than should be legal.It's not the fastest and it is challenging to launch. First launch it went into a hover, interesting to say the least. No repeats though.Packaging was good and it went together nicely. Had a warped hatch but took care of that.Space is a little tight in the bay but not undoable.Assembly is straightforward. I'd make sure that the paint at the wing root and fuselage side is cleaned off before gluing together.I thought that at my age it might be troublesome to see but it actually is fairly easy to keep in a reasonably sized window. It's fast but not overly so and its handling is excellent. The glide is a surprise and you could run out of runway waiting for it to settle.Highly recommended as a first jet.”
“I would like to say that this is not only a great looking flyer but is one of the best durable plane that I have. The build was simple, I would recommend the you add carbon rod for added support for the wing. I have crash this plane many times and with gorilla glue and a little bit of tape, and it up and flying once again.”
“I fully agree with reviewer Anthony Bosco. The plane is a great flier but near impossible to hand launch. My first hand launch resulted in a hard right turn into a brick wall....Much hot glue later, it was back together, this time with the optional landing gear...it took off perfectly in the air, flew great and glided in to a perfect floaty landing. I took off from the steet but landed in my short grass. Last time I flew it I landed on asphalt and the front nose gear gets bouncy. But overall, a very sturdy excellent plane!”
“For $98 bucks in a stock configuration, it's a piece of junk. If you pop for the landing gear, the upsized motor and stick with the recommended 1600 mah battery, you'll have a fast and nerve testing fun machine. Spend the extra $ and go fly it.”
