This is an excellent airplane, smooth flying and plenty of power. It also lends itself well to a small fpv system.

This plane is beautiful, fit and finish is top shelf. Instructions were easy to follow, the only issue I had was my screws for the fuse were too short to crab. But I had some longer ones that fit. Power combo exceeded my expectations, this plane was fast on the two Admiral 3000ma batteries. I did change to a front strut and the bigger wheels tha Ryan suggested. Over all a great purchase.

I've been flying the P-38L for the past two years. Very stable in flight with no ill mannered tendencies. I set it per the instructions and very little trim was needed on the maiden flight. Lowering the gear and the flaps and no ballooning up. I also later added the spring loaded gear which really helps any firm landings. Love making low passes and strafing runs. Always gets a lot of attention on the flight line.

What a plane, easy to put together, flys smooth as silk, and the build is easy and straight forward. This plane is quite simply one of the best you can get, and it's a P38! Even in high wind I haven't had any problems with landings or track issues. I just simply love this plane, the new single plug wing connectors make transport a breeze as well. Well done flightline!

What a great aircraft. Stable, take offs and landings are a breeze, and after a little time with the airbrush and weathering, awesome bird in the pits as well. Thanks Motion RC for bringing a P-38 for us all to enjoy.

This was my first purchase from Motion RC, relatively fast delivery, the online chat is great, since I am new to the hobby I needed some questions answered about running one battery on the P38 got that resolved in less than 5 minutes, this is not my first plane by any means 7 in total but this is my first twin engine. The manual however will not be any help for a first plane build, the video is much more comprehensive and detailed, stop, pause, rewind . Connecting the wiring was simple except you have to switch around the lights to get them the way it suppose to be. I am sold on Motion RC, great prices, great service, best shipping rates ever. (I live in Toronto Canada so no free delivery for me) lol. Just waiting for good weather to take her out.
