This jet flys very scale , fast , heavy, and has a little tail waggle in crosswinds. I am using zippy 4000 40C , stuffed all the way into the nose , using the factory C of G . I launch on a bungee cart with the gear retracted , to land I dive towards the field and drop the gear , then bleed out all the airspeed as I lower the EDF power , touch down on the rear gear and hold my flare until the nose drops. So far everything has worked perfectly. Note the elevator is really small (scale ) , so watch out it in turns where your airspeed is slow. never fly this bird below 60pcnt throttle , it needs speed!

Beautiful Jet , fan is balanced , retracts needed some adjustment and some extra glue and support on the servos. It appears to have already had a coat of clear . I added two more coats or water borne urethane today after final assembly( speed and durability) . Note,no pilot or glue included . This is the best quality plane I have bought from HobbyKing
