It ‘s a great plane to fly. Need to start a logbook to log hours.

CG location on instructions is wrong and will/could cause problems with an inexperienced customer.

Just put the first flights on my F8 and have to admit, it flies very smooth and stable. Used the factory control setup and a 1800 3s Graphene I had laying around. About 1/2 nose heavy with that big battery, but still handled it. The scale detail is amazing, good enough it could be a display model. Thanks FreeWing and Motion!

I tried unsuccessfully to hand launch this beauty using a 1300 mAh 3S 30C battery with not enough power to keep it in the air. I purchased theoptional landing gear and will try tomorrow to see if I can generateenough speed before take-off to get it airborne and keep it up.

so far I haven't been able to get it balanced without adding much weight. The batteries I have been trying to use were 1000 to 2100 mAH. weight of the batteries span from 102 to 1 76 g.Open for suggestions

Nice model - loved the quality and price. Decent customer service - a live person talked with me several times. The issue is the promised delivery before Christmas - I knew the questions to ask when ordering: is this in stock?, did it come in the recent container?, etc. and was assured it was. Without seeing the jet near Christmas and no tracking info, I called and was told the jet actually was not in stock. Hmmm.... Yet, about a week later, it shipped, but arrived after Christmas. I'm not sure what went on, but this is why only four stars. Thanks for listening.
