Easy assembly and followed others suggestion on the low rate ailerons and high rate elevator in the reviews. CG was a good enough but like it to be a little more nose heavy than it was= not a big deal. So went to nearest sod farm and let er go! Everything was manageable and predictable. Hard to see in this particular color scheme which is understandable for most mil scale. Anyway to the main point, the landing was not hard but as soon as the mains touched the grass they departed the fix. Luckily no damage than the gear pins broke in half wish they would just bend instead. Also, front landing gear is really loose, lessons learned.#1 Found out that AR-15 trigger pins are same diameter and only 1mm longer than stock pins (4mmx22mm) and bet they wont snap.#2 Bought the front landing gear block (3D printed) that is for sale on ebay to get rid of some slop and give it more leverage. Anyway, glad I bought this EDF to go with my other 3. If I had it to do again, would either fly at airfields only or do the upgrades first before grass landings

Transfers wasn't put on properly as the was not straight and also the front landing wheel moved very loosely from side to side, which causes problems taking off and landing

Bad first no copper screw tabs to remove wings elevators. Rear stabs seem be right left loose screw cup. Again machine screws not good for model traveling mere 100mph. If u need work on good chance screw going strip out . really only complain on this model servos retracts power system works flawlessly and fly's really nice with ovonic 50c 6s 4500mha. Solid 4 to5 min flights on high speed

Let me start with the fact that I am a green EDF pilot. I have crashed a few already in my Adventures of learning to fly them. I bought this F-35 because it looked awesome and and I watched a few videos on YouTube and it looked pretty dialed in. I received it and it went together very easy, fit and finish was great and instructions were clear and understandable. All parts were there and quality was good. I set the airplane up per the manual and found at the CG needed to be adjusted quite a bit for stable flight. I found that with a 4000 milliamp hour 6s that a quarter of the battery should be underneath the rear portion of the fuselage/cabin access hatch. I flew the plane the first flight and it was a little sketchy as I got it trimmed in because it's very fast and if you do not turn your ale around rates down to 50% or less it will roll extremely quickly and you could lose orientation very quickly. I don't perform the best Landings, but I don't slam the plane down and on three of my four Landings I've broken the rear strut pins. I modified some steel wire that I had, and used it to make pins after going through multiple sets from freewing and have not had any issues since. I would recommend figuring out a way to replace those pins with something more robust otherwise you may possibly have issues as I have. That is the only reason for four stars, other than that this bird is excellent and I would recommend anybody to add it to their EDF collection. I like it so much I've actually ordered a second kit, so once I am a more skilled pilot I will have a mint one to fly.

Very nice product. Item came in perfect condition. Very fast delivery. Packaged very well. Can't wait to fly as its been raining in the UK recently and still in Lock down. I'm very impressed with motion rc I will buying more from them in the summer as I want the F22 8s and The Su35 the Mig 29 is too big i ain't got the space unfortunately.
