“https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wI2Cc_D4qw&t=66sThis jet is very easy to put together. It does require some gluing for the vertical stabilizers, nose cone and engine exhaust. The wings are screwed on. Overall, this plane is a great flyer and looks so real in the air! She is very stable and easy to fly. She does have some speed similar to the Freewing F-22. I used a Spektrum 4S 2200mAh LiPo and a Spektrum AR-410 receiver. The AR-410 does not come with a gyro but it honestly did not need it. This plane is stable enough by itself.You can check out my maiden from the link above!”

“Okay so overall good lil jet. once I seen the parts and where this jet came from, by noticing the equipment on it, like a similar jet I owned the BH Pak-fa T-50. It caused me concern because the jets are somewhat cheaply made in china, and some of the items ive received from bananahobby couldn't even fly...although since ive been buying products from MotionRc I don't usually experience or have any problems with them.This jets equipment leads me to think its similarly made like bananahobbies edfs, but this jet actually flies, and happy that motion rc provides us jets that can fly unlike bananahobby. The flying weight advertised is 1000g well mine came in well over that at a scary wing loading of between 12-14 grams. Note: jet flies okay all stock, I wasn't able to pull off a loop at level flight.... after I added the rudder servos and flap servos I was able to fly but to keep her up the throttle was full and flaps were full too land. Im not sure if full throttle is the way to go through out the whole flight, and once the battery expires it gets very hot. not sure with what 70mm edf unit to purchase from motion rc. intake and insides of engine area is sanded down for maximum thrust and the ability to fit a 70mm edf unit but with one that can produce thrust. Removed pilot under windshield as he was “dead weight” also removed excess hot glue around the fuselage, hot glue heat damage on fuselage aswell. Painted her royal blue so damage doesn’t bother me any more.I changed the esc to a 60 amp I had on had and improved thrust a little bit. I sanded down the intakes and inside the fuselage area to improve overall thrust output.Shaved down enough to upgrade a 70mm edf unit. Tried one of the pak-fa 70mm units and they did not work engines were faulty from bananahobby and did not get replacement so looking forward to buying a 70mm unit from motion rc to install in my freewing 64mm F/A-18 royal maces to improve the sluggish flight performance while still using a 4s. the Admiral 3600mah 40c 4s lipo fits perfectly with no adjustments to the cg, and doesn’t get as hot as my admiral 2500mah 30c 4s lipo’s. to fix the heat problems ive been experiencing with the smaller 4s lipo’s I cut a hole in the front of the nose where the gray square appears and cut out plastic air intakes to go through the nose and to the lipo battery compartment. What I have now is a 6ch 64mm F/A-18. Added 1 servo on each rudder, they are operational now.Also added 1 extra servo to each wing for flaps to get slower landings, and a more scale look, gonna add red leds into intakes for red afterburner look and some navigation lights for better visibility. Not gonna fly this beautiful bird till I order a 70mm fan unit upgrade to support my heavy small bird.Also added multiple vortex generators through out the wings and fuselage to reduce stall tendency which have proved very affective noting the bird is much heavier than stock now.”
“Excellent product. Flown from rough grass strip with no problem. Watch bleeding off too much speed on landing, almost no roll out! Beautiful floater and really dialled in flight. May even try taking undercarriage off soon.”

“It flies okay. the airframe is aerodynamically stable and glides nicely. The 4s power system is quite underpowered and definitely does not have close a 1 to 1 thrust to weight ratio stock.. I cut a few more holes into the fuselage to give the edf more breathing room, but I eventually replaced it with the FMS 64mm 3150kv 11 blade edf. It flies really well with the FMS setup and a thrust to weight of close to 1:1 but slightly below. Overall I would recommend it, but there is definitely room for improvement on the power system.”

“Easy build and very good quality. Just added magnets for the nose cone. I was a little concerned about getting the F-18 because I hand launch but now I’m very happy i did. It’s a great looking plane. I removed the nose gear but left the servo in place. There is no instructions on how to set the elevator like the FW F-22 so I took Suggestions from others and set the tip level with the fuselage joint. My maiden I had Easier hand launch than my F-22. But it wanted to nose down. I brought it down and gave it more up elevator (the tip about 5-6mm below fuselage joint (4s2200mah battery all the way forward as per recommendation). It flew great. But just like the FW F-22 it’s a little sluggish when it launches so you have to be patient as it build speed and climbs out. But after that, you better be buckled in. It is fast and highly maneuverable. I’m an intermediate experienced pilot and i was performing incredible vertical climbs and roles with ease. And of course it’s a nice floater like the F-22 so landings were a breeze”
