Came well packed and in great condition. Fun flying plane with great looks and a great price. Landing gear is scale looking and functional, much better looking than the simple wire gear. Tracks nice and straight on take off. 3s is a bit underpowered but the 4s version is nice. Lands great without power with a light flare on touchdown. Highly recommend this plane.

I had terrible luck with this plane. I had 4 attempted take offs and 4 immediate crashes. All flight controls were checked before flight and for some reason it would just not fly. Other than that the quality was nice. Really detailed model.

Been flying RC since the '90s, this is my first EDF. Excellent aircraft, flies very predictably and tracks much better than you would think. Floats very well on landing, the EDF unit may be lacking just a bit in thrust but still provides decent uplines and good speed. Just have your elevators trimmed so they are slightly up (about where the mold line is between the top/bottom fuse halves) and she'll fly great. Amazing product from Motion/Freewing at a reasonable price. Definitely more FW planes in my future!

After reading LOTS and LOTS of reviews on all the RC forums concerning this plane, I decided to click ADD TO CART. Flown it stock (2200mah 4s) about 20+ flights with no regrets at all. Does it have unlimited vertical? Nope... Does it fly 120mph? Nope... Does it create 3.5min of joy on a 4S battery? YES...... Everything about this plane is 5 star. (even performance.. Its a 4S EDF, can't expect everything) Do yourself a favor and buy this now... It will be the happiest day of your life.....
