I want to paint mine like my old squadron. I bought the ARF + version based upon outdated photos online which showed the un-decaled version in the box. Even the assembly instructions still have photos of the parts in bare gray. I know it says that they are pre-applied on the PNP page, but not specifically on this ARF page. Small gamble, and now I know. I would have bought the aircraft anyway, but I would have gotten the PNP version.I hope that this was helpful to someone.

The Skyhawk ARF is an amazing flyer and quality product. Installed a spare Freewing 80mm 2150 kv / 100 amp ESC EDF power unit, which is a simple drop in procedure. The model is actually quite large compared to it's delta wing size, yet it is very stable, especially with a gyro stabilizing receiver. It feels fairly light weight and the current 2150 kv / 100 amp ESC Freewing power unit is more than enough for this model.In stock configuration, the model does perform scale EDF aerobatics very well. I added an 80mm thrust vector unit as the separate tail assembly lends itself to this modification similarly to the Freewing JAS-39 Gripen. Fairly easy to install or remove. The pay off is now the Skyhawk will do "non-scale" but really fun 3D EDF maneuvering; back flips, flat spin, high alpha, squared off loops. While the Skyhawk is an older model, I would not be able to perform these modification applications without first having a solid stable flyer and quality product.It is a great product and Callie Graphics offers a wide variety of schemes. I hope they keep the A-4 Skyhawk production line going.

Assembly was so easy. The kit even included a pull wire rod that was perfect for running the surface wiring and the ESC wiring. Upon completion was Stunned how well it was constructed along with great instructions.

As usual another Motion RC great plane. Easy to complete. I added an 80mm 3665 -2300kv, 12 blade edf with a 120 amp Avien ESC and a Spektrum AR631 Receiver. It is truly fast , easy to fly and handles great. I'm enjoying every minute it's on the air. It's alot of plane and we'll made with high quality parts.
