The directions are missing the size of screws that are needed for each attachment point. The model arrived in very good condition and other then the above it went together fairly well.

3rd one. After 400 on 1rst with no electronic failure gave it to a club member. 2nd one pushed the envelope to far so that's why the ARF PLUS. It's rare but no trim needed, even steering

This is my first edf jet. It's been an absolute JOY to build (took very little time) and an absolute blast to fly!!! Reminds me of the pattern planes I flew back in the 70's, but the speed and sound make it incredibly special. If you're ready to release your "inner ramjet" like I was, you'll be very happy with this choice.

I love the classic lines of a famous jet fighter/trainer and the long straight wings for a first-time EDF.Flying tip: Maintain airspeed. This purchase was a replacement aircraft (at least I salvaged a few good parts from jet #1).

After 24 years of flying, this airplane was my first experience with EDFs. The airplane looks great and flys like it's on rails. Plenty of power and very stable. I would have given it 5 stars but the main landing gear is not glued in very well. After about 15 flights and on a very routine landing, the main gear pulled out of the wing. It was not damaged at all but I did have to epoxy the mains back in so hopefully I won't have any more issues. I would highly recommend this airplane for anyone wanting to get into EDF powered jets but definitely reinforce the main gear before flying.
