This jet is fantastic. Once I had flaps and pitch tweaked correctly, approaches are simple and reliable with soft landings. The flight envelope is great as well. I am really happy with this one and it is helping me to fly other EDFs better.

I was thoroughly surprised at this bird! It's actually even better than they advertise it to be. Here's a video link to one of my latest flights. https://youtu.be/eY7TWGmvENw

It has taken me about two months to redo the paint scheme for my A-4 Skyhawk to the 2960 "Last of the Many". It turned out great and now it was time to fly. The first flight I was totally unprepared for how much this bird floats! I setup the controls per the manual and the ailerons are WAY too sensitive at those settings. Since the difference between high rate and low rate is not much, I toned the ailerons way down and added -30% expo. Much better on subsequent flights. This bird is rock solid and I did not need any trim. Just make sure your CG is right or you will be in trouble. I added an Eagle A3 gyro but honestly did not even turn it on till flight #3 and even then did not need it. Thanks to Callie Graphics for the Last of the Many scheme. Wonderful little bird! CG was better with missiles on it but I haven't finished the tanks yet. This bird is definitely worth getting.

From start to finish this is a first class kit. I’ve been in the hobby 25 years and I can say first hand MRC/Freewing produces top quality products, the A-4 Skyhawk is no exception. From the quality of the decals, to the finish of the Foam and the minimal assembly required, this EDF is superb. This is my second MRC EDF jet and I can tell you they get better every time with each release. Thanks MRC!
