As a Jet in the air, it flies great, as a jet on the ground, its among the worst I have owned, On the maiden the nose gear unpredictably failed to deploy even though everything was connected. On a separate later flight, the nose gear randomly collapsed, when this happens, the edf ingests alot of dirt and it ruins the fan.The advertised operational environment is not suitable for this jet due to its poor quality gear.Do not use on grass, Do not land even a little bit hard, It cant handle it

It flies on rails as if it had a gyro. Also cuts through wind with no problem

As an airframe, there is no doubt this thing has all the shining features that the f-16 was designed to have. Awesome high alpha performance, and an unrivaled turn radius. However that nose gear is definitely under sized. It can barely handle a manicured feild and it does not always deploy. Can be quite unreliable. Took some work to get it to deploy reliably. Always do a gear check before landing

Great plane, gear is JUNK. Grease my landing and yet the front gear still collapses. Just ordered a second front gear as mine collapsed on a smooth surface just by landing in high alpha. MOTION/FREEWING ARE AWARE AND NEED TO ADDRESS THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I don’t fly this plane after one month and 60 flights because it’s just frustrating.

Overall superior to its closest competitors. Only complaint is the lack of plastic leading edges (LEX), instead of foam.

This is a great 2nd edf. Grass ops are possible on short cut and smooth Kentucky bluegrass. My thrust reverse does not work however.
