Gonna put a couple of coats of mid wax on it and wait for Callie to send her graphics to me.

The quality, fit, and finish of this plane is second to none. I have had a similar version from a competitor that I thought was the best until I got my hands on this one. This is hands down the best version of this plane. Motion is by far the best company out there!

I got the product on time and it came with no damage. It looks great. I love my F4 phantom. It’s so detailed.

I’m a Vietnam veteran. I was a Crew Chief on F4 C,D,E and RF 4c’s. I saw this model and was so impressed I bought it as a static display. When the model arrived assembly was very easy and I set it up so all systems are functional using a Specktrum DX6i radio. It is currently being displayed in my hobby room.

I purchased this and used one of the other guys 8s 90mm edf unit and an aerostar 150 amp esc. It does not save any money doing it this way, better to just purchase the 8s capable planes unless you have this stuff lying around like I did. I had some trepidation about the c.g. because one well known reviewer that I trust said the plane was tail heavy at the book c.g, 190mm. Mine was not. I set mine at first flight at 185mm and it was just slightly nose heavy. so 190mm to me is a great starting point. As I always do with freewing products I used the low rates for my ailerons and the high rates for everything else. this was a great starting point for me. I generally don't use high and low rates, I just leave them on 1 setting. I read some of the threads where people were saying that some of the early models needed a lot of aileron trim on first flight. This was not the case with mine, I set it up ailerons and flaps straight across and I never even touched my aileron trim. Only a few clicks of up elevator setting the elevator 8mm down on the front edge from the parting line on the fuselage, by the book. I did install a gyro because they just fly better with them. I never used them for years but I love them now. I mounted it at the back of the battery compartment behind the breakout box where the wing wire connectors hook up. I put my receiver under the battery tray and my antennas extend forward above the front landing gear. I am using 2 4s 60c heavy duty batteries linked in series and they are all the way back on the battery tray to achieve 190mm c.g. The 2 batteries together weigh 1100 grams. First flight was picture perfect nice rotation and nothing freaky happened. Plane has good speed ( 125mph in level flight) using a gps data logger. I'm very happy with that! Great power and the flying is rock solid with no bad habits. Fly it like a jet and only slow down on final and it is very easy to fly! I bought Colonel Robin Olds plane markings from Callie Graphics and they look amazing! I am super happy with it, don't hesitate!

Loved the kit straight out of the box. Quality, fit and performance were above expectations particularly for my experience as a a first time Motion RC buyer. Have experienced other suppliers IE Byron scale models, Horizon Hobby etc. Motion RC fills a very nice metric between cost and performance.
