This is my SECOND Avanti S PNP. The first was lost back in July due to what I believe was a bad aileron servo during it's second flight (see my review dated 07/08/2023). Since the first Avanti S had a fatal problem, I was quite reluctant to purchase another one. However, I now have several flights on this Avanti and am completely pleased so far! It has LOADS of power. On take off, once it lifts off, point it up and it goes and goes and goes. It handles fantastic (NO need for a gyro/stabilizer). I fly from a grass field, so the reversing ESC isn't really needed, though I have it functional anyway.Through no fault of the aircraft, I bounced it a little on an early flight and the nose cone came off (held on with magnets) and the nose cone then took out the nose wheel retract cover. No big issue. Have flown it several times since waiting on the new doors to be delivered.Bottom line(s): - EASY and quick to assemble. - Fast and predictable flight yet slows down nicely for landing. - Well built. - BEAUTIFUL aircraft.Thanks Motion RC. After the disappointment with the first Avanti, this second one has restored my faith in you!

Just opened the box from under the Christmas tree and all is well. Great looking paint scheme. I hope my V1 doesn’t get jealous. There looks to be many improvements including the front gear doors and the horizon tail looks different. Also better hinges on control surfaces. I hope it lasts as long as my V1 has.

I owned the first version of this jet and after a mishap this summer I decided to go with V2. Really good quality finish and well put together for an ARF. Looking forward to summer flying with it

Love this aircraft. My Avanti V1 met with a bad ending after flying thru the sun. The new V2 flies just as gentle but is way faster than I remember the V1. All the upgrades make it even better and the new motor has great power. Flying the 6S 6000mAh batteries I get the same flight times as before. Great aircraft that’s fun to fly.
