Decals aren't sized to outline but a fine model overall. Very good quality as a factory supplied kit.

This is my firdt EDF. I've been flying RC over 40yrs and just never got into jets. I must say it is a great experience. Even off our clubs grass runway this jet does just great. And of course being it is a Vulcan and I am a Star Trek Geek, I added my own touches. See Photos.

Have flown 1 of 3 of planes I purchased. Other 2 in box un opened. The plane is built well and well planned out. It works well and sounds and flies slick and fast. Not to bad to set up and pretty durable on 1 rough landing. Value for money is spot on and I recommend this plane.

OEM part so everything is great. It’s also very expensive for a piece of molded foam.

I'm 84 and have been flying RC planes for 18 years (9000 + flights) and recently switched from Glo to electric. So, about a year ago I decided to try EDF jets. I now have over 500 jet flights on a Habu and Marlin, without any radio assists. I wanted to start without retracts sine I fly on well manicured grass and 80% of the damage I see is pilots who tear up $60.00+ retracts on a less than perfect landing. So now I felt ready for the full jet experience with flaps and retract and since I don't need to go 125 mph. and have several 4s 4000 & 5000 batteries the Vulcan was the perfect choice. The only down side was there were no decals in my box and I waited 10 days for them to arrive. The build was the same as all the Motion PNP's . They only issue was the nose wheel steering reduction compared to rudder deflection. (there is some built in) So I set the rudder low rate at 35% with High @ 50% and put the control on the Gear switch. So, when the gear is down I have low and up is high. Works perfectly and I can fly on my 6 channel Tactic. I would recommend painting the edges of the decals with clear dope to prevent pealing. Maiden flight produced no surprises when I took off with 1/2 flaps in about 100 ft. It too 2 clicks of up and 1 click of rt. for aileron for level flight, The recommended aileron throws are too extreme and I use 59% rather than the suggested amount. I have since reduced it to 30% and it handles much smoother. Elevator was OK and the rudder is fine especially since you don't use much rudder with a jet, Mainly to keep lined up on approach. I was surprised at how much faster the Vulcan is compared to the Habu and Marlin. Landing was smooth and it slows down nicely with 1/2 flaps and about 5* alpha to touchdown. Controlling the speed with the elevator and height with the throttle allows you to keep enough speed so If you bounce you still have control. I do not recommend a "O" throttle landing!!!! I've had the Vulcan about a week and have a dozen flights and really can't wait to fly it some more!!!! For the price this is the best deal in R/C Jets!!!

Product not as advertised. Comes with sub parr servos for its flight characteristics. Foam quality very good. Attention to detail quite good. Nice to have a blank canvas but why do I have to buy a 4S version to get this ? We want a blank 6S version !
