The good, not another F-16/ US fighter jet. Lots of little "scale bits" and lights. Very good P:W ratio (8S). Very good landing gear. The plug-in wing connectors are good but would make bypassing the black box a pain. I did bypass the black box for canards and have no roll on them, just pitch. Flys better.Bad, all the servos are 9g and I have had both canard servos fail, one on flight #2, got hot and died. The other intermittent on #8. Same servos on the elevons have me worried. Also, sometimes doing a loop it corkscrews. Somethings not right, maybe a weak servo though putting pressure on them on the ground doesn't show it. I may have to replace more servos and it doesn't look easy in the wings, the wires are tight on one wing, maybe pinched during assembly. The Eurofighter and F-22 and other 90's have 17g on main control surfaces, maybe this should too. Last, the battery area is not wide, carefully consider what batteries you are going to use. I'm using smaller 6+2 side by side and they are against the canard pushrods (may be my servo problem). I am now stacking the 2S on top of the 6S but again very limited room. My 6+2 are 825g total and as far back in the bay as they can gets me just aft of the CG marks. This really is better for a 6S set up. First FW EDF that has me a bit disappointed.

The scale details are the best yet and the overall flying experience is amazing. Plenty of room to make it easy to Cg and the easiest to program of the canards I own.
