The model flies like a bat out of hell on full throttle its got a great roll rate and will definitely draw some eyes at the field. Not to mention the detail is truly amazing and the fact it already comes with reinforced gear struts are a great inclusion it definitely feels like a fighter jet. the only drawbacks I've found during my flight are with its gear-down performance since its large nose gear door seems to cause a lot of yaw depending on the downwind angle and that it lands quite fast but when done right looks amazing you just need a lot of runway. the only assembly issues are with the V-stab where I needed to cut out parts of the bottom to even slightly line up the screws. The biggest concurrent issue I've found is the cockpit attachment system, it's very loose, and any slight bounce will fling it off the plane. I've gone through 2 on my first model and it persists on my second my advice would be to purchase some magnets. Aside from that this is one of my favorite EDFs on the market!!!

I absolutely love flying this jet! It's fast, yet agile. I actually prefer flying this over my 90mm F-18. Flying with 5000mAh HRB LiPos and clocked it in at 127mph. Only modification I had to do was to design and print a small plate where the canopy pin connects to the canopy. I have not had any issues with the canopy popping open.

Haven't flown it yet but wanted this model because I have the new f-14 and a friend has the 80mm f-14. Painted it black and got some Callie graphics to make it the fictional mig-28 lol

Even a slightly rough landing results in gear coming out and needing repaired or replaced. The gear and gear mounts seem extremely fragile compared to other brand jets.

Flew with a 6200mah smc hv and 150A esc pulled 136A and 3,100w. 3.01kg thrust 2.6kg weight. Hit 180mph on the gps. I'm still pumped from flying this beast.

She’s a beautiful jet and has excellent vertical climbing performance and pretty wicked speed. I’m still dialing mine in as it tried to roll to the left when I tried to give it full up elevator which I’m guessing is my fault due to not perfectly evening out the full flying stabs. I love the jet and the sentiment that she comes in hotter than most is pretty accurate but easy to land in my opinion so long as she’s under power at touch down. Definitely recommend if someone wants a hot jet that looks sweet in the air but demands respect at the controls!
