Nice plane, been a avid builder for 35 years. My wife bought me this P38 for Christmas. Plane came in good time and was kept updated as it was coming.Out of the box everything looked great. Plane was well packed. Did not have any damage at all. Everything fit together very good with no problems. All of the leads and wiring is straight forward and all worked properly and the way it should when I tried it the first time. Only fault was when installing the servo rods to the control surfaces the two left over for the ailerons were too short. I just made up some new ones.I added the upgraded suspension oleo's, very easy to do and should be great for our grass fields here..I did spend alot of time detailing the plane with gun fire burns, panel line weathering, and weathering to the canopy and leading edges. Great looking plane and designed very well.As a long time builder I give it two thumbs up but I still love building.I would recommend this plane to anyone. Looking forward to flying it when the snow is gone.Regards Uncle Kracker

So far the only thing I can review is the assembly. Will have to do another for flight review. I can say customer service is great and helpful.

Recieved the airplane. Took about 10 days to arrive. The people at Motion were awesome to deal with. Very helpful band had answers to all of my questions. The plane arrived packaged very well.The plane looks great and everything is there and free of damage. Have not done any assembly as of yet but will do another update.Again thanks Motion RC.

Love this P-38 went together well and flies very well.Main modification was to change out main power wiring. Put both ESC in parallel and added a BEC. Disconnected red 5v lead from ESC’s. Added upgraded gear.

This product was beyond my expectations. This was the absolute most detailed foam model I have ever owned. They way they reinforce it with wood, fiberglass, carbon fiber, and plastic in all the right places internally and externally is amazing. quality is top notch. I wish the instructions received were better but the online video really helped with the assembly the most.

Hardly any trimming and the instructions were dead on with servo throws... Super stable in flight and would strongly state buy the Landing gear upgrade.... Video of the the installation is on You Tube....
