Had it together and programmed in less than an hour. Flew very nice, much better than the Radian Pro. Roll rate is slow but expected. Had plenty of power for loops from slow level flight. ESC comes programmed without brake enabled so the prop doesn't fold in flight with power off. Only reason for the four stars is the routing of the servo wires thought the fuse when installing wings is a little finicky but will get easier.

Purchased and unboxed this glider. Found three servos bad in wing - 2 with broken gears and other will not move and case gets hot. Will replace all four wing servo's with JR DS368BB Premium Digital Micro Servos. Screws included to mount T-stab (Elevator) are the wrong size and will not fit - Went to hard ware store and found correct size to be 4-40 2" length and tail mounted fine with correct screws. Setting glider up full seven channels so full chamber functions will be available. Will update review after plane has been flown and tested.

Be aware this model may be a great plane for less than the expert pilot but it is not for the inexperienced modeler. The tail arrived with a broken control horn, easy enough to fix and you should just expect this one as the first postal worker that sets the box down wrong has broken something. However for this kind of money you should expect better quality electronics, while holding it in the air ready to launch, throttle up, esc smokes, end of day. I am determined though, it's a beautiful looking plane and I am rebuilding it all, motor, esc, metal gear servos, etc. It has yet to maiden and when it does it will represent a 300 $ investment. I just hope it flies as good as it looks.

Have not test flown mine yet ! Out of the box it looks good. But I have had two issues already. The horizontal stab rear mount screw would not tighten down and had to be replaced. Also the elevator servo was bad, broken gear tooth, "Yes" I replaced it. Assembly is a bit rough or tough, not for a beginner. Looking forward to flying it.

Welcome to the BGF Glider 'Failed Motor Club' Mine lasted 2 flights....well, blew up on the 2nd flight, with sparks coming out of the motor on ground test after flight.
Yes, I'm looking for a motor replacement too and also a reliable ESC, as the one supplied has no instructions, and the HK file is for an 8 program ESC, but the supplied ESC seems to have 12. ...It's anyone's guess as to the corresponding program beeps. Lessen learnt, I'm buying reputable brand electrics in the future. Cheap deals turn into expensive repairs!

have had many flights easy to fly and hand launch but the wing fixing leaves something to be desired.

Unfortunately, the airman has not arrived here intact. An articulation on the wings broke off. I hope hobby king will quickly and easily replace my defective part.

Overall the glider is good value sold. But the finish and accessories are poor: the engine has very bad bearings with a lot of play and the rotor touches the stator at high speed: engine off. It is a low engine game that comes from home Alibaba. The autocolants do not fit on the edge. cabling servo wings is difficult to connect. When I find a motor home HobbyKing I'll post for testing.

Bought one of these when they first came out. I'm a jet man so this was my first glider.
Everything fine out of the box, awesome power and climb rate and flies very nicely.
You will need to mix some down elevator with throttle on full power to stop it looping, there is that much power and really needs some downthrust but mixing is the easy option.
Easy to fly, a bit expensive but a lot of plane or the money I guess.
Recommended!
