“I ordered the kit and within three days i had it at my home. The plane looks great right out of the box. The manual is the worst thing on the planet. I assembled my plane by watching the video on the web site. It took all of one evening to assemble the plane and set everything up on my transmitter. The following weekend was marred by rain the night before, but i hoped the field had dried by the time i arrived. Well the field was dry just enough to get a flight in. My batteries were fully charged the night before and i tested everything at the field. I gave the plane a nice take off run down the runway before easing a little up elevator. Before i knew it the plane broke ground and i circled the field. Just a couple of clicks of up trim on the elevator and she was flying straight and level. This is a really nice flying and easy plane to assemble. I'd recommended it to anyone interested. Thumbs up MotionRC.”
“Plane went together well. The instructions could have used a bit more detail about the wiring. Still have a few bits to finish up. Hope to maiden this summer. Currently recovering from shoulder surgery.”
“I am not a good builder. I found the instruction manual to be lacking in several areas and even with the video there was still many area where I said only God knows how this goes. Thanks to Mike in the service department for his help. I also found that not all wires where in the package. As for the plane and structure I was very happy and it will be months before the weather will be good enough to fly.”
“Got it quick and am assembling now. Manual is garbage. The video is really the only way to assemble this plane. the y connections are NOT labeled at all Unlike eflight planes. This is my 1st flightlinerc bird and i do like the detail but not the assembly. I did add some screen material on the engine inlets to add to the detail and it looks really nice. I would think for the price they could label the stupid y connectors and the lights. The control surfaces are top notch with real hinges unlike eflight planes so i guess it is a trade off.”
“Would be 5 stars but the landing gear that is stock is too weak, no give on landing. The main gear tore free from the foam with the plastic housing attached after 3 or 4 landings that were not hard. I replaced the gear with the $40 upgrade that solved the problem. The upgrade includes 3 new wheels and 3 shock absorbing struts that made a world of difference. They should include these with the model instead of the stock versions. They don't hold up. But as for everything else they are amazing flyers. You will be delighted.”
“I crashed it on maiden flight landing! Well it was my fault, the plane flew too well I forgot that was a war bird with a nick name widows maker, landing to slow with full flap in a strong head wind and stalled. After repair, it became one of my best plane to go for every day flying.”
“This plane is outstanding! The kit flew together in a couple hours (the decals took the longest). I noticed that the landing light didn't sequence with the gear, but Motion hooked me up with a replacement control unit for free and everything works perfectly now. I would recommend upgrading the landing gear. I had one collapse during landing rollout after a slightly firm landing. I put it back in with epoxy and it has worked fine ever since. This thing is amazing in the air and everyone stops to watch it fly. I get about 4 1/2 minutes of flight time using moderate throttle and 2x 2700mah 4S lipos. Can't wait to buy my next plane from Motion RC!”
