Pros: This is a typical Rc Lander plane. Lots of pieces and lots of steps with epoxy. Quality is excellent and all the parts fit together well. The paint is done well and and look really good. The cheater hole is covered with a solid piece of plastic and there is plenty of power.
Cons:I really wish this was a 4s system. The battery bay is really small and I'm having a hard time imagining a 6s pack in there, So plan on 2 3s packs. Lander, obviously thinks this is the way to go too as there is a series plug included (BTW everything is Deans T connectors, which is what I use). So, don't expect long flight times. THE BIGGEST disappointment is the manual retracts. They work fine (and are pre-setup) but I have to think Rc Lander has a ton of left over manual retracts to off load instead of including their nice electronic retracts. Fortunately, they seem tough and I had a set on my Lander F-16 and Panther and they held up fine.

If you've ever owned a Lander plane, no surprises here. If not, this is a lot more work than other EDFs on the market but in the end you get a very high quality plane.

Fantastic jet, brought direct from a UK model shop. Flying weight stated as 1500g but mine came at 2300g with all the hardware included with the kit. Running mine on a 3200mah 35c 6s lipo and getting 850w. Good fast flight but not much vertical performance. Tends to tip stall and due to the high wing loading it comes in like a brick. Flys like it is on rails. I took all the undercarriage out and flaps and rudder to reduce weight and measured at 105 mph level flight. Fantastic jet well worth the money, but the elevator linkage needs sorting as the metal rod bends and deforms under pressure. Great aircraft and at a fantastic price, mine cosst 400 to get up so a real steal at this price!! :)
