I started flying 6S EDF's early last year and quickly fell in love with the speed, size, and overall intensity of flying them. After flying a few jets that are better suited for beginners in this class of jets, the A-4 was added to my radar and it did not disappoint.Here are my review notes for this stunning Freewing EDF Jet:Pros:- Nice smooth finish on foam- Scale retracts with quality suspension- You can go between the F & E models with ease due to the magnetic “hump”.- In addition to the hump, the provided decal sets and the fact the airframe comes bare allows for significant customization.- The kit also comes with tons of different pieces including a tailhook and cockpit steps you can glue on for example.- It has been out for a while now, so all of the bugs have been worked out making the actual plane build quick and easy with no surprises.- I felt comfortable in the air very quicklyCons:- It took a while to apply the waterslide decals, but that was mostly due to me never using them before.Overall, this 80mm EDF Jet is a must have for anyone that appreciates the A-4 Skyhawk!

One of the worst jets I have owned. I have bought at least 6 jets from Motion. This one is terrible.Worst part is when you turn sharp, it tip stalls. I maidened it today. I made 4 flights trying to dial it in. No fun here!

This is my 2nd jet and loved it, tons of options to customize (Callie Graphics), lots of material from MRC and other owners on how to properly set it up (watch the CG), room for big battery packs, easy to assemble and great presence.

I put her together a while ago but I didn't want to submit a review until I maidened her. All around great flyer. I set up throws as per RC geeks review on his webpage. Another winner for sure.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x82t7QWtIAs

This is my first scale EDF and it flys awesome!! The time before I flew the freewing Jak130 with 4s and a Viper but this thing is a class above. This isn't a plane for you, if you have never flown a Jet before and it's also no beginner plane!!!! ..., but it is a great flying scale jet with many details!

I have broken hollow wing spars in some other planes so I insert a solid carbon rod into the supplied ones from now on..my tip for all of you guys!

Another great jet from FW/MRC!!This bird is a rock solid flyer, but make sure you tone (WAY DOWN) down the aileron rates from the manual. My high rates are 50% of the low rate and my low is about 30% of the low book rate. The rates they give, will cause some serious problems if your not ready. After you get this bird dialed in, she’s a dream to fly. If your a fan of the A-4, wait no longer, just buy it!!
