Howdy pilots, this time I have to write about this one with a heavy heart :-( Spent about 2 hours on the build with upgraded components such as... Dr Mad Thrust 4800 EDF, metal bearing servos, HK 20A ESC and an 850mAh 3s 20c battery and flew it the next day. I was a bit dubious about the amount of thrust when testing but it performed nicely. A bit twitchy on the controls so I bought it in for some minor adjustments. All good so I threw her up again. Flew great and the speed was quite impressive until I did a sharp turn and watched in awe as a wing sheered off and the plane spiralled into the deck. This EPO has an 'oily' feel to it and in hind sight, I should have sanded the gluing surfaces prior to the epoxy hitting it. The other wing and horizontal stabs pulled apart with ease after the crash so it was a lesson well learned. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. I will still give this 5 stars all round as it fitted together nicely, EPO was good and I was surprised how well it held up in the high speed crash and the price you cannot complain about. I may get another one but I am having too much fun with my Skyangels F-35, F-86 Sabre and my MiG 15, all in the same size range. Get one, you will not be disappointed. Blue skies... Allan

Throw this in with a bigger plane you are buying. You won't regret it. I have been trying to get a 50mm edf to fly for about 12 months. this is the first I have managed to get in the air, and it flies brilliantly straight from your hand. Super stable, and very fast. The rockets fall off on landing, so best leave them off. Again, a great flyer, and very cheap. I am using a Skyangel 50mm 4300kv with an 850mah 3s battery, 20amp esc, cog is spot on, and it runs for at least 5 mins. Heaps of power. Great little plane for a pittance....
