Very high quality molding, lots of detail, good paint,
good water transfer decals, clear canopy with cockpit deck, easily
removable or replaceable landing gear, full flying stab, easy fan access
for maintenance, lots of nice features.
In the air, it's pure dynamite, everybody guesses it to be about 70mph,
and that's very fast for such a small airplane! It's a whole level of
performance above the rest of the RTF EDF jets...
It's basically the smallest airframe that you can wrap around a 64mm
fan.
Hand launching is really easy, there is a grip molded in for doing it,
and you don't need to heave it, it will fly away from just a light toss
with no problems.Roll rate is tremendous, vertical performance is
awesome, and downright speed, well...most EDFs, you fly around at full
bore all the time, with this one, you want to save full throttle for
verticals and high speed passes, and throttle back to half or two thirds
to keep the thing manageable the rest of the time, it's mighty quick.
It's very easy to land, I have been bellying mine in on the grass with
no problems, though you might want to put a little glass cloth on the
lower lip of the intakes, they tend to snag the grass and get chipped
up. With the landing gear on, off pavement, it has no bad habits at all.
The gear comes on and off with a few screws in a minute or two.
It takes up no room in the car, it can fly out of small parks, or you
can take it to the club field and mix it up with the big boys, it costs
little, it requires no maintainance, it looks great, and it flies great.
It's my new favorite airplane!
