I purchased this from the second pre-order batch. I set everything according to the manual. Maiden flight was flawless, even though I used a 6000mAh 100C pack, which made it balance a little forward of the very nice, molded-in CG marks.Everything on the airplane has nice fit and finish. Take off was almost hands free on pitch. Landing was very smooth. Static trims resulted in no need to trim in flight. Pay attention to the elevator static trim and set it up exactly like the manual says.Minor gripe: The main gear doors attached to the retracts get broken quite easily in taller grass. I recommend removing these if you have a rough field.This is a great scale flyer, with similar handling to the Freewing Avanti S. Great power, but use a high-C rating pack. My 6000mAh 100C pack came down twice as warm as it does in the Avanti, with 3.8V/cell. 4 minutes flight time with throttle management and aerobatics on a 6000mAh pack.I also purchased the gyro programming card. This works quite well. Very intuitive to configure.

I have not assembled the aircraft yet, but I have inspected the aircraft as it was received in the packaging. I opened the box to view the aircraft and components and found everything in good condition. The quality of the model looks good.

I almost exclusively fly giant scale turbine helicopters but when I saw the Cougar I had to buy it. This jet is so well behaved that even I can fly it!

Good model, well built but the instructions in the manual are far too aggressive. I found the settings on the flight surfaces to be unflyable. I reduced the aileron and elevator deflections to about 30% of that called for in the manual and had a good flying airplane.
