The Crusader arrived within three days, well packaged & in excellent condition. Beautifully detailed & fast assembly. The elevon setup was easy & well defined by the manual. I added the optional landing gear & was pleased with its perfect fit & appearance on the plane. Servos & ducted fan functioned perfectly too! Haven't flown it yet due to nasty weather in the mid west. Looking forward to watching it dance in the sky. Another great product from Motion RC!

98$ EDF that not only flies good but looks good? Sign me up, maiden went without a hitch, probably the easiest maiden ever. Very well mannered in the air, I found that it had PLENTY of power for its size and cost, most definitely not underpowered as some have stated. Landing was just as easy as flight, keep a tiny bit of power and then cut the throttle once you're a few feet above the ground and flare to slow her down. Love this little jet

This is a really great looking plane. It flies well when set up and trimmed correctly but very lacking on power. I was flying on 2200 3s. I changed to 1600 4s and this is the key. I only use full throttle for take off and then throttle back and this corrects all bad habits. This bat weighs about the same and is about the same size so CG doesnt change. I have many flights on this now and with correct throttle management I see no problems. Flight time is same and at about 1/2 throttle is faster than full throttle with 3s bat. It is now a great addition to my hanger.

It needs to warm up here in Wisconsin before test flight.

MIne is stock out of the box,the only change I made was to reduce the aileron throw by moving the pushrod to the inner most hole at the servo and the outmost hole at the aileron control horn,and when the elevator is level with the tailplane the ailerons are slightly down. I mean slightly,the thickness of a paper clip vs the trialing edge of the wing. It flys well as if on rails.Gentle stall,some left roll, She glide well{downhill for sure} but landing are a none event. Be Sure To Calibrate the Speed Controller throttle range!

This is by far the best EDF I've owned, and the best deal! It's inexpensive, tough, and it's a blast to fly!
