I snapped the nose gear pin that connects the retract to the strut on a pretty hard landing (4th flight) that also left some landing gear cover fragments on the runway... nevertheless - I get about 3 mins 30 secs of super scale Freewing fun with this on a 6S 5000 50C lipo and love it!!!Recommended CG is spot on. Fantastic and very capable scale flyer!! With all the 3DPUPs available for this one, I don't think I'll be getting bored with it anytime soon.There's a guy in my local RC club that's a diehard balsa flyer, and he's not sure after seeing mine fly that he'll be able to keep from purchasing his own.

I LOVE ALMOST EVERY ASPECT OF THIS F4. NOT PLEASED WITH THE EXPOSURE OF THE RUDDER SERVO, MAYBE COULD HAVE EVEN A PARTIAL COVER? ALSO, PILOT RYAN IN HIS BUILD VIDEO CALLED THE PITOT TUBES ON THE VERTICAL FIN ANTENNAS. I NOTICED ON THE INSTRUCTION SHEET IT ALSO REFERENCED THE TUBES TO ANTENNAS. THEY ARE BOTH PITOT TUBES ONE FOR THE AIR DATA COMPUTER AND ONE (GUESSING) COULD BE FOR THE RUDDER LIMITER. NO BIG DEAL, JUST WANT TO KEEP IT AUTHENTIC.THANK YOU FOR LISTENING,DAN

Just got the phantom and am very pleased with it . I can't wait to fly it but am going to personalize the colour scheme , so I ordered Callie graphics decals for the black bunny version. Great job Motionrc as always !

Extremely well made jet and MRC's customer service is the best in the industry. This is my 3rd F4, had a problem with the elevator servo on the first and MRC took care of the resulting mishap. I replaced it with my own version I call the Key West Sundowner in camo, with help from Callie of course, and the next one I did in the Blue Angel scheme, featured here. Love this jet. Did replace the nose landing gear pin with the Spitfire axel, although I never broke the stock pin like others have. If you come in nose gear first, you will break the stock pin, or bend the modified pin, take your choice, either way, this is definitely a bird you should have in your hangar. Assembles in a very short time frame, unless of course if you are going to change the scheme as I did. At the field, the wings go on, or off in minutes so it is very easy to transport and get ready to fly. Hats off to both Freewing and Motion RC, you have a customer for life. I have purchased 7 planes from MRC this year alone, and they are my #1 source.

Recommended control throws on aileron, elevator are way too much to insure smooth and graceful realistic flights as well as avoid unexpected stalls at moderate to higher speeds. Recommended control throws combined with recommended full flap setting could easily result in a dangerous stall when making turns from downwind to base and base to final at slower approach speeds. Never deploy full flaps except on straight in final approach to landing.

Cool jet, easy assembly, elevator took me an extra minute to set up the right mesure,yet was done.Fly good, an over all i’m still in love with the F-15 , feel more scale then this. Camo works well,fly near you or is bye bye birdy. Easy to loose orientation. Landing it i feel was the hard part more then all the other jet i’ve. Only complain is the tail hook. Why be glued ? Look ugly and if need to change horizontal elevator need to be reaped off and damage fuselage. Can be done better for sure. Still learning so don’t take granted what i’m saying.However no matter what do it just do it, another fun bird from Motion SECOND TO NONE!! Galactic service best in business
