Once together and setup, this is a very nice looking bird. It flies nice, but with the tail end shakes somewhat at various speeds, other than that, I love it. Takeoffs are great, and it's easy to land. Transport for me is one wing off, and slide it into the bed of my F-250 with a cover. I would recommend this plane.

Well built aircraft. Easy to assemble. Very impressed with it's performance in the air and even with it's ground handling. I fly on a grass runway (not manicured) and the landing gear handles it well. It does need a long run out at full power on grass to get her in the air. In the air it handles flight very easy. Looking at the short chord of the wings you would think that you need to fly her very fast, but due to the wide body design I found it can be slowed down easily. Landing is easy with full flaps, but you need to raise the flaps immediately before the wheels touch or it wants to float on ground effect for a long way. So far I'm not getting more than 5 minutes of airtime on on a 6000 mah battery, but I'm still getting used to it's throttle settings. Hopefully it will get better. Overall all, very impressed and it's become a hit at the field.

This is the best and only Jetliner that I have ever seen. Impressed I am over the way this jet is manufactured. Quality is very good. I was also impressed on how large it is. I had Callie Graphics make my decals of the airliner I wanted and did they do a great job. As you can guess, I made my as Hawaiian Airlines. Oh is it cool looking. From take-off to flying and then landing, this is a model to have. One young boy told me he saw it from the road, undid his sit belt and told his dad to go over they, he s saw a Jetliner. I would definitely recommend. A crowd pleaser....

Freewing makes great jets and has for many years. The foam quality on the new AL 37 is disappointing. Other manufacturers have stepped up the quality and are producing better planes and jets with harder and stronger foam. Why not Freewing? The rest of the jet is nice and what you would expect from Freewing model. Gear is nice and the lights add a nice touch. I am only getting 4 minutes on a 5k. Maybe I am flying it too hard. It sure sounds nice at full throttle.

All I can say is wow, Freewing and Motion RC knocked it out of the park with this plane. I've been dreaming of owning a RC 737 for some time now and was close to pulling the trigger on the more expensive Windrider version but I'm glad I waited! This plane is a real winner, flies like a dream! Let me start from the beginning; Order on December 20th and arrived to California on the 24th, super fast shipping with Fedex ground. No damage to the box, unpacking her was fairly easy and had the plane together in about two hours taking my time to go over everything. Fit and finish is excellent, the whole plane is painted from the factory which gives it a nice look. I opted to epoxy the two halves of the fuselage together which was painless, and Freewing provides color matched tape to cover the seam. Wiring was straight forward no surprises, love the mounting holes in the fuselage for tucking the wires away for transport. Wings assemble with two screws each, fit perfectly the first time. Winglets are removable, although mine required some trimming to fit easily. I opted to install a Spektrum AR620 right next to the Freewing controller and went with a Hobbymate 3-axis stabilizer. First flight was with an HRB 6000 pack timer set for 3:30, lined her up and full throttle rolled for about 300ft and began rotating on her own, very scale takeoff just amazing! In the air needs lots of rudder in the turns, I suggest mixing about 40% with ailerons. Flies beautifully with about half throttle or less, glides remarkably well. On landing about quarter throttle or less, I landed with no throttle glided smoothly and touched down like a scale airliner, nose likes to hold off naturally. After 3:30 on the 6000 I still had 49% battery remaining, after two more flights I settled on a 5 min timer, maybe one could squeeze out more with more gliding. I will experiment with a 7000 pack next but in the mean time I'm just loving this plane! Ordered up some graphics from Callie and hopefully have this bird real pretty! If you're considering this plane buy it you won't be disappointed, easy to fly and handles like a trainer. Thank you Freewing, Motion RC, and Callie Graphics!

What a great product- well worth the price. I’ve been waiting for a quality close to scale airliner for a long time and this doesn’t disappoint. Scaled proportions, retracts , flaps, lighting very cool.
