Awesome jet. Flies great and had good performance. Flies on rails. Has good slow flight capabilities. Awesome high alpha's. Could possibly use a lower kv motor for more thrust. She struggles a bit on vertical performance. Otherwise it's a good Edf. Kicks the shit out of the heavy 90mm

I love this 70mm EDF F-16. Mine flies very smooth and is really fun to fly. The only downside is in this Arctic cameo it's really hard to see. You have to limit the throws on the Ailerons and elevators and use a lot of expo. In those instances when I can't see the wing orientation I just fly level and add some rudder until I see it. Overcontrolling it will end up bad. Also despite buying replacement front retracting gear I have never got the front gear to retract. I fly it without retracting. I chucked the blue Y cable eliminator box and went for a 14 channel Corona Futaba clone receiver $30 but you have to have a 14ch transmitter.

This plane flies good with stock setup, specified CG and 695g 6S4000 battery all the way back. Have to bond elevators and tail pieces on. They line up readily without too much fuss. Adhesive was included and most of the bond surfaces are protected from paint (foam to foam bond). Using Y cables for aileron and elevators as blue box only has a single power wire on gear connector to avoid single point faults. Have flow three flights so far with only issue being a slightly bent right mains landing gear from use on grass field with rough grass. Like that landing gear has metal backing support plates over servo retracts. Would like it if they sold the little metal connecting pin (between gear and servo retract) separate from gear. Overall happy with plane and predictable flight characteristics. Not using a gyro since flying plane from landing gear.
