Received the f7f tigercat and the mig 21 really quick. Everything I ordered was carefully packed and arrived in tact as always. The assembly of both airplanes were quicker than I thought. Now I am waiting on the weather and the tropical storm to blow over to do a test flight. MotionRC you have out done yourself. Outstanding I can't really answer the handling and performance cause of the weather. So I'll give it Good.

This plane is just as advertised, easy to assemble, easy to fly, looks majestic in the air. Had a small problem with a part fitting incorrectly (prop spinner).Motion resolved problem quickly with no questions asked.

I can recommend this plane to anyone with a reasonable amount of flying competance.It goes together well and is reasonably easy to put together at the field,I always use a foam stand to keep it off the ground during assembly.Dont forget to put in the recommended mix on elevator to flaps as this stops it from ballooning.I also fitted the recommended front strut upgrade as I fly from a grass field & it does make a difference.If you have a problem getting the grub screws out as I did { the factory had used loctite} apply some heat to the aluminium using a soldering iron & the screws will come out easy.A very enjoyable plane to see & fly.

This is a very nice flying model and it is really great looking. I had no problems at all during the first flight but the second flight nearly ended it all. Doing circuits and low passes I noticed a strange sound a few minutes into the flight. It sounded like one of the props was going out of balance. I bought it in for a landing nice and smooth and attempted to taxi it to me. I noticed the left motor shaking!! The firewall was loose. I got it up on the bench, got the prop and dummy engine off and saw that the firewall was completely unglued. The dummy engine is cracked and melted along the center hole where the outrunner was banging into it. If that motor had locked up on the dummy engine or pulled a motor wire the Tigercat would have been a pile of foam. Not very happy.

The stock main landing gear works perfectly fine on grass. Upgrading the nose gear is worth it. A very solid plane that can handle the occasional less than perfect landing. Looks great up in the air. On a windy day it can be tossed around a bit. However, it's the perfect plane for learning how to land with crosswinds. I highly recommend it.

First. Assembly is a no brainer. Just follow instruction, be sure to pull rudder and elevator servo wires out and rout through fuselage before you glue aft section on. Now for the flight. I used 2 ea. admiral 3000mah 4s batteries and the cg was right on the mark. This bird has plenty of power and will climb out of sight just as long as you do not point it straight up. Cruises at about 60%-70% power. It does bounce around a little with a small breeze. Lands very nice with either full or half flaps. Mix some down elevator with the deployment of flaps so she will not balloon up. In a light wind, no flap landings are nice. This bird just flies so gracefull when performing fly bys. Perfect greased in landings are very common. I could keep writing on and on. I give it thumbs up!

Build was easy. Had an issue when I tried to bind it. Soon as I plugged in the first battery it completely fried the rudder wire from the board to the receiver. Emailed Customer Service. Immediately sent me two new extension wires and a new rudder servo. I had already put a better servo in before I got the new one. Got her bound up and ready to fly. I'm already having an issue with one of the flap servos. I will replace all the servos. Servos are not good. I have 51 planes in my current hangar. Mostly balsa arf's. I've got 7 BNF/PNP birds. EVERY one has junk servos. Not sure why SOMEONE can't put out a BNF/PNP bird and put some GOOD servos in it. This is a nice plane. Other than some minor dings a paint flaking in the foam. All in all, I like it. It's well worth the 4 stars I give it.

Haven't got a chance to fly it due to the weather but the assembly was easy and finish is very nice. Wings are a bit of a pain getting back off but I'm sure a lot of that is because its brand new and tight fitting. I'm sure without a doubt, this will fly just fine as do my other flightline airplanes.
