Be prepared for a lengthy time adding the water slide decals, there is a lot of them, but it's worth the effort. Rest of the build strait forward.Just a couple of observation on flying. Almost impossible to land with the large drop tanks without them hitting the ground and sometimes coming off. No big deal.Allow the aircraft to slow down on the landing roll out , as the high narrow track gear will tip the aircraft over onto it's nose scraping it, if you try to turn too quickly. Dumping the flape as you roll out will help. So, a good flying aircraft, in the air with just a couple of minor handling requirments to be aware of.Usual good motion product.

Havent flown yet but arrived in perfect shape. Currenly have 6 motion planes and love how the other 5 fly so i have no doubts this will also be a winner. ( f16 70mm. 3s raptor. Thunder streak. A4 skyhawk. Dynam b26 and hellcat) THE a4 went together perfectly like all freewings do..just waiting for michigan winter to end so it can tear up the sky with the rest of them. Hopefully get the f 86 by spring as well...great job again motion. Best products on the market!

This is a great looking jet. FW has really perfected the EPO molding process and the paint job is beautiful. Plane was well packed and went together very quickly. I grew up near a Marine air base so I love the A-4. Really appreciate that Motion RC keeps working with FW to bring these amazing aircraft to market.

This is the first jet I've ever owned and I love it! Easy assembly, great flyer (just don't stall it close to the ground! No prop means no air flow over the tail when stalled!) It handles like it's on rails, scale looks and scale performance!Clocked it with a radar gun at 111 mph! Absolutely beautiful product, I will be a loyal Freewing and Motion RC customer, already trying do decide which one to buy next!

I love this EDF! I was stationed with a Marine A-4 Squadron and the detail of this RC Aircraft is amazing! Easy to assemble and fly! Cali Graphics is my choice for decals!!!

Dial down the ailerons! Use the suggested "Low Rate" as your High Rate, and turn the lower by 50%!My Maiden flight:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WooETMHZakA
