I probably won't have a chance to fly my AL37 for a while as winter has just started here in Northern Ohio. I am for the most part pleased with the kit. The structural and mechanical properties appear to be very high. I do have 3 LEDs that are intermittent and I'm still trying to figure out what's causing that. My big gripe though is the paint! I bought this kit specifically to put a United Airlines livery on and have found it extremely difficult to do. It appears what ever mold releasing agent was used in manufacturing was never cleaned off before the white base coat was applied. I am using the 3M Delicate tape as recommended by several other builders. As I slowly pull the tape back on itself to remove I have had sheets of the factory white come. I tried a little heat from a blow dryer only the see the white base coat bubble off the foam. This whole process has just become one of the most aggravating builds I have ever attempted. For the money and the hype I expected an aircraft that could actually be painted.

Freezing has done it again. What a beautiful airplane. Everybody at my club fell in love with this airplane. It is easy to assemble, great quality, flies great. I highly recommend getting one.

I was excited when this came out, I was busy looking for a popping livery. if you know me by now i wanted something that no one would have thought doing, i had a few in mind. i was even more happy when Alpha and Motion said ok to doing a all white choice! I voted for that right away! I am happy to see so many liking my livery thanks you all for liking it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bp3Q2Vpvbs&t=192s

I cant say enough about this airliner. I have yet to find any issues with this bird. I would rate this bird as a first EDF option along with a few others but this AL37 has such a variety of options for customizing which puts it in a class of its own. Highly recommended airframe. I own 2 (Delta and Kc-37 Tanker)

My friend Michelle flew with United Airlines, so it's a no-brainer as to the livery on her new B-Day present...the jet is what you would expect from Freewing, well thought out, and very nice!!!

CG is a little forward, moved back about 1/4 or so and flies like it should, Smooth and solid. Recommend!

I like a lot of RC pilots have been waiting for a new Airliner to hit the market & Motion brought it to us and I would say they nailed it !

Happy, this is an amazing plane, flies amazing. I will be more. BUT sad about the quality control from factory needs to be looks at. When open boxed, I looked through plastic and saw the wing hing ripped out. Then once opened everything there was a deep line mark on the left side of the nose. I rated this airplane as very low quality only because it was broken once i received it, after paying $$$$$$$$$$. But once I fixed it you do get a quality model for the money. now just need a 747 version.
