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!
