This F-8 is a nicely crafted and simple model. Easy installation. I had to import lead at the stern. It flies unmistakably and generally calmly. I recommend it to anyone who wants to take a break from large, cumbersome models.

The overall impression I have of the kit is good, what really was disappointing was the decal on the left/right side of the aircraft both are terribly misaligned, I would say to avoid problems like that let Freewing know its better to let the Customer put the decals on themselves this way Motion RC can be spared having to give a New Customer a Lame Duck excuse for why it happened. Would I buy this kit again ? Yes ! but again save your self the hassel of such an avoidable issue the potential loss of a New Customer outweighs the time it takes to correct such an issue.

This aircraft is unbelievable in soooo many aspects. First off the elephant in the room.... the price is perfect. In fact it seems a little low for such a high quality aircraft. This plane has many unique features as well. No rudder unfortunately but an elevon system. This aircraft is a perfect speed for a beginner and is large enough to see and not lose sight of. The delta wing of this airplane can actually allow it to perform sorta high alpha maneuvers. The only downfall is in slight wind this plane is quite squirrely. I have a good amount of expo in the aircraft but if you put a gyro in it should not be an issue. This plane also provides detailed features for a 64mm. In conclusion this is a perfect starter for a new pilot and allows you to learn fundamental basics in the edf world.

Love this style plane. Would have rated it a 5, although there were no elevators servos or even a place to mount them. I cut square openings for elevator servos in fuse sides just below the aileron servos. I did use the supplied wires for elevator controls. Have not flown yet.
