Had to add this one to my jet collection. Motion gets 5 stars. I wish I could give this better review. Maiden flight was less then 3 min before it crashed on approach . Replaced broke parts and moved the cg back a centimeter and it seem to fly much better. Stalls and snaps no matter what even before moving the cg. Cannot fly this thing slow. It flys on rails at top speed. Very nice!!Did a back flip to a death spiral and that's the end of it. Cost to repair is more then half the price of a new one. Will not be fixing or replacing . Move on to another jet.

An amazing flyer that is fairly easy to fly. It is a bit difficult to see in a distance and it gets there quick. Plane flies on a rail with a good flight envelope. My second Freewing, the first being an F86, and it's much faster but still good for an amateur like myself.

I have bought the v3 a year ago. From te start i noticed that the plane tends to roll when you give to much up. On the elevator. I tried to fix it with better servo’s, but this didn’t work. after a few flight it crashed when it starterd to spiral on about 100 meter hight. After that i bought a arf+ and a a3l gyro. And used the old power system. This worked very well on the first flight, but the second flight both te elevetor servo’s failed in flight, and so the f-35 chrashed again... this, and the fact that this plan can’t handel manoevers and is difficult to land on a short field(because it had no flaps) i don’t recommend this plane at all.

Very, very impressed with the F-35 on 6S 3700-4000. Super fast & stable & highly maneuverable. Looks really scale & flies on rails. Would highly recommend the F-35!

Have not been able to fly yet. Only one complaint. It is too easy to assemble. I enjoy the building almost as much as the flying. Had this ready to go in less than two hours.

29yr in this hobby and I have never had this experience until today. 1st flight went excellent no issues, 2nd flight I lost the right elevator and as I used the elevator it would bank it so hard it I lost all control. The F-35 spiraled into our clubs runway destroying the whole jet. Only thing saved was esc and fan unit plus main gear but the jet was a total loss.Buyer beware the elevator servo I found was stripped 3 teeth of the secondary gear. All it takes is loss on 1 servo and your $279 plane is reduced to $10 packing peanuts.
