Easily assembled out of the box in high wing, tricycle gear configuration. Maiden flight went well with just a bit of trim adjustments. Will try conversion to low wing after I have flown it for a while in high wing configuration. Will definitely add flaps later.

This plane is a great plane for the cost and I love the extra parts so I can change the configuration of the plane, only reason I gave it 4 stars is because my speed controller is bad, I spent hours trying to figure out what was wrong but I switched controllers from another one of my planes and everything worked great.

Overall a great plane. Fit and finish is great. One negative would be, it needs better instructions. Trying to figure out the screw placement is trying.

Good plane! A little underpowered, but oké for training. Nose wheel servo not strong enough.

... to buy this plane from Motion RC. I already left a review (from FR4-Pilot) but I'll just add that the quality of the plane, the fast shipping, and unbelievable customer service will have me coming back for more, for sure!

I had a minor problem on take off and hit the ground a little hard and both wing supports pulled out of the foam. The wing supports are very lightly made.The parts for the tail mounts were missing and I needed to glue the rudder and elevator to the body.

I originally saw this plane 5 or so years ago and wanted to get one, but life took a serious detour and that all was put on hold. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when I saw one of these at the field and was immediately drawn to it. It wasn't until I internet searched it out (again) and ended up on Motion RC's website (again) that it call came back to me! Reunited, finally! So glad it's still around. I'm a helicopter guy too and also love flying my Sensei and Apprentice (just sold the Apprentice). I really like the hinged control surfaces, multi-config options, and the large space inside to work on things. After two high wing trainers I really wanted a low wing. The price was right too. Motion RC is amazing, shipping is unbelievably fast and their customer service has risen even above Horizon Hobby, IMO. My plane arrived but was missing two tiny screws - let's just say Motion RC MORE THAN ADEQUATELY corrected the situation (left me speechless, actually). They are my #1 go-to shop now, hands down. Anyway, I've started documenting my journey with the plane over on RCGROUPS (https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2034477-Freewing-Pandora/page25) beginning at post #370. Haven't flown it yet, and yes the manual could be better, but I'm excited and can't wait to get this plane in the air !

Very flexible design, heavy enough to be stable in moderate wind conditions. Only criticisms is the screw ID's. No call outs of sizes and where they go.
