Plane was hard to find CG. First flighta small headwind stalled it. I recovered, tried coming in with a tailwind instead, accelerated it so I pulled up and came back in with the headwind. Ended out stalling and with fuselage damage. To me, all these EPO planes are eventually nothing but $, repairs, and work.

It's look good with the normal Freewing high quality. This is my first EDF, maybe not the very best listning to others, and I have no problem flying it. I don't think there are many EDF at this price point that offers this much of a model.The only thing that would have made the price spot on would have been navigation lights. It's easy to assemble but mount the pushrods to elevators and rudder to the servo horns before screwing them to the fuselage.

I have had multiple 70mm & 80mm EDFs from Motion RC. I started with a Rebel and worked my way up thru a BAE Hawk, Avanti, Mig 21 and T33. This jet has the best performance of any that I flown so far. Balances perfectly with a HK Turnigy heavy duty 4000mah 60C battery. Its energy retention, speed and vertical performance are unmatched. Would definitely recommend.

Having just returned to the Hobby after buying a couple of BNF HH Eflight models I wanted something quicker and more serious. This Vulcan has ticked the box 100%

This aircraft flies really excellent. Quite impressive speed and good gliding characteristics. Very high roll rate (recommended to reduce rates for first flight). Very silent EDF. Could even be a bit louder ;-)Topics I did not like:Ailerons and flaps were completely out of shape (bent in several directions). With some manual force and bending / twisting I could correct this. However I had to trim a lot during the first flight. Some dangerous moments during the first 3 minutes.CG is probably a bit too much in the front. I lot of elevator up trim was required. Foam is very sensitive --> Much too soft, compared to the competitor FMSWhy are the outer holes of ALL the control horns so big that they can't be used? It's always better to reduce throws by using an outer hole in the control horn instead of reducing servo rates. Maybe the outer holes are designed for screwed connections.Cosmetic issue: the shape of the vertical stabilizer is not rounded --> optical appearance could be improved with a more rounded shape.In the box there are some strange and very small plastic parts (obviously some kits of hinges), but these parts are nowhere mentioned in the manual.Manual does not describe in details how to connect the servo cables to the famous box / and the yellow cables to the receiver.
