On the first flight, had a problem (Which Motion Rc took care of ASAP-Thanks guys) that caused her lawn dart HARD and I mean HARD... well finally put her back up today - she has been together a couple of months now but have been gun shy LOL, (I know I'm the first to ever feel that way LOL)... This plane is FLAT OUT AMASING what a GREAT plane from Freewing and Motion RC... what a SOLD, SOLD flying plane. Flight time on Admiral 5000mah 50C was 4.5 min. @ 25% - 3/4 to half throttle. Make sure you have the CORRECT CG.-- it is at the plastic piece front edge (on wing) which is 4MM BACK---BACK from the leading edge. My expo is at 30% for me that gives the best feel.. She could use flaps but I had no problem with take off's or landing, just use to them is all... I give it a 9.99 out of 10 just because of flaps so as you can see it's no big thing at all.. Freewing and Motion RC a question...… ever think of a 80mm----- better a 90mm ----OMG I would be so in.... GET ON-FLY HER-ENJOY HER- AND PUT A HUGE SMILE ON YOUR FACE...…...

I am saving the F-35 for later, after I get a little more time flying the Jets I already have. I have totaled my first two jets and I am still repairing my third - a Yak-130. I have had three take offs with the Yak but the returns to earth were not what you would call landings.The F-35 is a beautiful plane and I would like to keep it that way for awhile.

First things first, DO NOT ADD FLAPERONS. I have tried and ended up damaging a wing. The aircraft is amazing. Looks great, flies even better! Only complaint is that for the price I wish it had lights or better linkages for the ailerons.

Did everything the book told me to do on set up. Test flew it (I'm experienced) and was way to twitchy. Went down almost immediately. Not a good product at all.

As others have said, the scale beauty of this model is beautiful.The assembly was easy, but the manual could have been improved with better English translation, adding an acceptable CG range and more accurate control throw settings (more elevator, less aileron).It flies well, but as a scale flyer. I think a gyro really improves the handling overall and gets rid of the nose hunting and wing rocking you can get as you get slower in the envelope and/or windy conditions. I've flown it both with and without a gyro.
