Arrived quickly from Motion R/C… Packaged very well. Tiny compression damage on the starboard wing tip. Minor. Goes together quickly and it flies great!! Did the LG strut upgrade first, and added the A3-L gyro. Maiden went great. Have to pay attention to your orientation with the grey camo... Got about 4 minutes with the Admiral 4000 Pro pack. CG was slightly nose heavy, but flew great!!! Another winner!

This store is the perfect example of balancing quality, pricing and delivery time. The planes are of superior quality and the prices are surprisingly low. Customer service is excellent and website quality is easy to navigate and find what you want quickly.

I already had a 70mm fan and ESC from a previously crash FW jet. Installation was simple. I programmed Flaperons and the plane flies great! I get solid 4 minutes on 4000 mah admiral batteries.

This one is a rocket! I like it so much I'm going to order a couple more once they're back in stock. I'm planning on converting one to a hand launch and belly lander and another as a spare. It's that good! I fly it with the Admiral 3300mAh 6S to keep it as light as possible. Motion RC didn't carry the EC5 to T-plug adapter or EC5 extension that I needed so I had to order from another company. At full throttle I can fly for two minutes and 30 seconds. I plugged the aileron leads directly into my receiver for differential, spoilerons and flaperons. I can't believe it's only $159! My videos are on YouTube.

In my F-16, I added a 70mm, 12B, 2200kv inrunner motor with a 6S, 5000mah Admiral battery. I get 5 minute flight times with 35% left. I opted for the optional landing gear which make the plane look great. I also added a Eagle Pro gyro and put red reflective tape on the bottom of the wings - gray-on-gray makes the plane difficult to see in certain weather conditions. I mixed in flaperons and the plane looks like a real F-16 in the landing attitude. The plane is an outstanding value and flies like it's on rails and looks great in the air. If you have any EDF experience, I highly recommend this plane. Another outstanding offering from MotionRC!

I bought the ARF-plus version of this plane and installed a more powerful motor, fan blade and esc setup. It handles more powerful setups very well and is very strong structured on handling hard banking turns at full throttle with the stronger setup. It's also a surprisingly decent slow flyer as well. High alpha slow fights are fun to do and watch! I would suggest, however, getting the stronger landing gear upgrade from Motion RC ! The stock landing gear struts tend to bend too easily if landing with the tendency to bounce but can be bent back . All in all, I like this plane.

This plane flies great and looks amazing. The plane's detail and foam quality are second to none. Buy it; you won't be disappointed! https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=em-share_video_user&v=hgPbCpYtcoQ
