Finally got to fly it today. It came well packaged, all parts and pieces were there. It went to gather nicely, not much to it and looks great. The guys at the field were drooling. Other than the short flight time I’m very pleased.

Bought it when it first came out. My a/c has just passed 400 flights (logbook). It has performed incredibly year after year. It always gets the raves whenever I bring her out. I keep her out of the sun and treat her right, however over time... 2 gear up landings, a botched rollout into a barricade tearing off a wing, and a battery fire in the cockpit, + all those flights. It all adds up, but for a foam aircraft to still look and perform this good is amazing. (SW Spackle is the best). Mods include Geek ABs, added downthrust in nozzles, working tailhook, scale details, latest -1960 fan/motor, and Callie of course!

Gonna keep this short. She’s solid, she’s fast and she’s beautiful. Many have complained about the elevator servo dislodging so I tried to remove it and with all my force the darn thing wouldn’t even budge and I’m a strong guy. They must have sorted the issue with the lack of glue used on previous models. I did purchase a hitec 5245mg just to have as backup just in case. Fantastic flyer just don’t go slow on your turns.

It’s an awesome aircraft! Slide the CG (battery) aft and it will fly perfectly. Change the elevator servo for a higher quality MB/high torque as well. And lastly, replace the weak elevator push rod with something stiffer, that won’t bow under high aerodynamic loads.

All I can say is I owned the top competitor, and recently purchased this version and I can say hands down this is the best version of the phantom. Flies like a dream, lands like a dream, love reverse thrust to shorten rollouts. There isn't anything not to like about this bird. I highly recommend, the detail, fit, and finish is amazing!

All I can say is wow! This is the best flying phantom on the market, the fit and finish is absolutely amazing. Lands like a dream set up per the manual, 6S 70% throttle 5 minutes of active throttle time. I have flown the competition and I thought it was good until I got my hands on this one. If you want an amazing flying Phantom this is the one.

I took a year and a half off flying and the 6s phantom was my first purchase. This jet is absolutely beautiful in the ground and in the air! Flys like it's on rails and has great vertical performance on 6s. Running admiral 6000 6s pro pack. Flight times are 3-3.5 minutes with a couple high speed passes and a couple vertical pulls. Comes back at storage charge. Landing gear is very stout for a model this size. Landings are the best part! It does slow down very nice. And the added reverse thrust is a plus on short asphalt runways. It goes to the field with me almost every time! I do recommend upgrading the elevator servo and control rod to something a bit more stout. And make sure if your going to use stock servo to check it often. Other than that it's a solid jet!
