I saw this model on hit the market over a year ago but only was able to buy it for this Christmas as my family's present. The model is huge and very complete with good quality components. You only need to provide your preferred brand of receiver, transmitter and a large 5000 mAh - 6S battery to power the 70mm opposite turning fans. Have seen lots of modelers at the different online forums produce some very well done aircraft. Needless to say, the 737, after which the AL37 has been inspired is such a popular aircraft that there is a myriad of liveries which can be done. You can order from Callie Graphics or venture yourself, like I'm doing now, and create or paint one of your own, provided that you can use any graphics software, decal paper and a color printer. You can also modify the model so that it can look closer to scale: Backdate to a 737-800NG with a different scratch built tail cone and modified winglets, reduce the length to do a MAX7, etc.Have not flown it yet but do know that it needs careful handling especially in turns and during landings like most EDFs and jets: keep adequate speed during turns so that you won't stall into the inner wing and bring the model using throttle for altitude and elevator for speed, with flaps. While it looks light considering the large wing and empty fuselage volume, it requires previous EDF flying practice, especially during the critical phases.All in all, I am really happy with the model. Now, being an Airbus fan, I sincerely hope Freewing will take advantage from the AL37 production and issue an AL32 that is another 70mm powered airliner based on the A320. Of course I will too buy that one if ever issued by Freewing!!Happy flying!

I am a first timer in regards to rc flying, but as a long time avgeek, I had to have this. I knew going in that I was getting in over my head experience wise, but you gotta learn sometime.The package deal rc motion provides made this a easy choice for the first timer.It was easy to assemble and huge when done.Currently getting ready to paint her in Delta livery with graphics from Callie.Excited to venture into to rc world with this.I'm impressed with the detail (lights/ gear/flaps etc.)A lot of experienced modelers have taken these to impressive heights already. Hoping to follow in their footsteps and learn along the way.If you are looking for a airliner- this is it!

Absolutely beautiful...only fault is when masking for paint, the base coat has a tendency of peeling

Great looking model. Very easy to put together. If I had to do it over again, I would strip as much white off the fuselage as I could. Sealed fuselage with poly before painting. Still when pulling up yellow masking tape, would pull up base white paint with it. Rattle can paint with Callie Graphics.
