This is the easiest jet to fly, bar none! Takes off quickly from grass runway and lands smoothly with solid approach profiles. Paint finish is smooth and with top notch decals. It looks like a well built plastic model that actually flies, especially with the included external stores attached. And except for a slight decrease in climb and roll rate, the jet flies fine while fully loaded! - I have 12 jets, and this is my go to plane when the WX is not good, or I don’t have a lot of time to fly. The only modification I did was to cover the exposed springs in the main landing gear struts with white duct tape to prevent debris from jamming the suspension travel. This is an excellent model airplane!

FMS planes are a high quality item. Simple to put together and the finish is very good.

2nd, yep.. Cougar 1 was purchased as an ARF, I purchased the recommended fan, motor and ESC. Beautiful fit and finish, construction was without issue. Maidan flight went without incident, no gyro in the plane. The subsequent 8-10 flights over the next two weeks were great. The jet flew like it was on rails, slowed down for nice easy landings, really a joy to fly. The incident- so, 2 minutes into a normal flight I lost all power to the aircraft, no flight control or thrust. I watched it go in nose first. The fuselage was really the only damaged part of the airframe. I considered just buying a new fuselage and transferring everything. I would have likely wound up with the same results. Many people looked over the crash, no one had a good explanation. So I just purchased a new Cougar, PNP. To date I have 5-6 flights on it. This Cougar came with the gyro setup, it’s really a great EDF to fly. I went with 4* just due to the electrical issue on the first jet.
