I fly mine FPV with an analog Foxeer T-Rex camera, Foxeer Reaper VTX, TBS Crossfire RX and a Speedy Bee F405 Wing flight controller. Great, easy to fly and land jet. Average flight distances total about 6+ miles per flight. Can fly in excess of 100mph with a tail wind. Paint used on this ARF is way better than the original PNP versiion that I had previously. I still sprayed it with 3 light coats of clear satin coating for added protection. Liked it so much I bought a second one to fly with WalkSnail Digital video.

The green paint on this ARF+ version is much improved over the PNP version which I also had I lightly sprayed over paint with satin clear coat for extra protection. . Add a SpeedyBee F405 Wing controller, Foxeer T-Rex camera, Foxeer Reaper VTX and TBS Crossfire and you've got something special. Love this one! Sounds great too.

I bought the ARF to replace a "retired" red one. The paint on this green one is bad. It had spots where the paint had come off and forget putting even frog tape on it - it will peel the paint. Also the fuselage was not glued together well at all and came apart.Other than that it is a good replacement for a retired red one and it looks good(where the paint is still there).

I was not expecting such performance from this model. I have to say I was surprised at how well it flies and how maneuverable it is.Landing was not hard at all. Very predictable plane. With No gyro it lets kicked around a bit on higher wind days but man this thing rips through the sky and flies like top gun jetsEven did a back flip no problem.

I bought this plane after flying the doo-doo out of the red one. I just like green. I will say that the green paint certainly sticks much better than the red and is more durable. This plane just really does everything well and it really has quite a unique sound, different from most of the others. It is pretty light so the power to weight ratio is fantastic. The only slight drawback is it will get into the duckwalk when you land if you overcorrect with the rudder. I did install a gyro in mine. I cut a slot at the back of the battery compartment and slipped the gyro in there. The corners of the gyro protrude slightly into the airstream of the inlets. Not enough to restrict the flow. This plane makes me wish I had bought the 90mm one when it was available. Get one!
