Plane went together fast and easy. Seemed good quality hardware included and nothing had to be replaced. Flew on 8S 5000 mah. Noticeably faster than Avanti Gen 2. Third flight bounced slightly down runway (tried landing with 30% takeoff flaps) and tweaked both main gear trailing arms. Seems I’m not the only one as this is the only parts sold out on Motion. Lands great when using full flaps. Live and learn. Plane is fairly heavy with 8S so I tried to keep landing speed up to avoid stalls. As I’ve gotten more comfortable it really lands well.

Excellent and super easy build. Fast flights ..5200 8 cell gave me 3 minutes 30 seconds with one go around. I did push the throttle and it will scoot right along. Flew great and no bad tendencies. Very pleased so far!

Great design and features on this plane I love the profile just can’t stand the color or pre applied decals. This plane deserves more than five stars but the paint choice and scheme is a downer

This was the fastest build and setup yet for me. The fit and finish are outstanding. I used the book setup which was fine but I’ll note some changes I made through two flights. Using two 4s 6000 100C batteries, the jet was off quickly on grass with a gradual lift and climb out you’d expect from a sport jet. I made no trim adjustments which is rare - not a click. This jet is easy to see even with the blue. I don’t know how fast but it’s clean, fast, and unusually quiet for the performance. Landing was easy to set up and there was little bounce tendency as long as you hold it off. I found the aileron and elevator rates too high and the down elevator mix with flaps too much. I used the cg marked on the wing which is a great start. I will move the battery back maybe 5mm to address the jet diving a bit in turns. That wasn’t dramatic but noticeable. As others have noted, the jet will pitch down some on a big power up. I only saw it after taking off under less than full power, lifting and then going to full power. As long as you know it’s coming, it’s not a problem. The gear is strong and should last. It looks exactly like what’s on the Avanti 80s which have lasted. Lastly, my normal setup for landing ended up long as this jet is clean and heavy. Everything looked fine until it came blazing by me. The reverse thrust should make that issue uneventful. I adjusted the base and final turns on the subsequent flight and it was down and stopped much more quickly. I’ll continue to tune but I’m impressed and glad I made this purchase.

Outstanding plane. For such a quality product why is the MCB-e not more versatile? Setting up crow braking dramatically reduces bouncing upon landing. It also makes landing easier on windy days. To do this you need a 4 channel setup for the airelons and flaps which the installed MCB-e does not allow.Is there a MCB-e available that provides separate input leads for each airelon and flap?
