She is an absolute sweetheart to fly. Assembly was easy, shipping was fast (as always from MRC). Maiden took two clicks of trim. From my clubs' grass runway, she took a LOT of room for take off. I have really enjoyed flying her and look forward to many, many more flights! The ONLY downside is the relatively weak nose gear connector pin. It is just not going to take a lot of hops, skips or jumps from bumpy runways or anything other than decent landings. If you purchase this plane, (1) you will not be sorry, she flies GREAT (2) the book recommended setting for takeoff and landing flaps it sort of low and you may need to increase 15-20%, (3) a 6s 6000 does work but you may find you need to move the "blue box" back and move the battery back to get the proper CG, depending on the weight of your battery.

This is my 2nd one due to pilot error. It's my favorite so far, very stable and predictable for some new to the hobby

Love this jet! Well designed and manufactured. Flies great like its on rails. Lands fast for my skill level but I will learn to keep up.

Great plane. Flies very well. On grass it takes some time before you have enough speed to get airborne. Plane looks great in the sky. Sound is nice.
