Howdy Pilots, this is a great little kit. Goes together nicely but I upgraded several items. The control horns and pushrods were replaced and I used metal bearing servos. A friend has one of these in the PNP format and it goes like the clappers. He had a servo fail on his and it went out in a big way. I used a Dr Mad Thrust 4800 EDF and a HK 20A ESC. The speed is not as good as my mate's one but will do me. The 850 mAh 20c battery is OK but may have to carve out a bit more foam to house a 1000 4 cell which should improve it no end, perhaps. It flies beautifully and slow passes are easy without stalling.
This thing will float for a long distance so give yourself plenty of real estate to glide her in for an effortless landing. 5 stars all round for this gem. Skyangels have done it again. Blue skies... Allan

Howdy Pilots, this little model is great. No problems with distortion of wings or stabilisers as with planes with larger wings. Packed nicely and goes together seamlessly. Dr Mad Thrust 4800 EDF installed with 1000mAh 25 3s battery and flies quick enough for this old pilot. Hand launch and landings are a breeze, she floats in effortlessly on landings with no power, she just glides in. Like other Skyangel models, this one is made from EPO and extremely durable. Do yourselves a favour and grab one, you will not be disappointed. Blue skies... Allan

Goes together well but make sure its all straight because the surfaces arent perfectly level Flies real well and easy to control under 1/2 throttle unlike the other mini-fighters.
Overall very happy with this kit and recommend it to anyone whom wants an F-35/F-22 in their collection!

I built this with a 55mm fan and a 1300mah 3s lipo. It weighed 400 grams ready to go. I locked the ailerons and just ran tailerons instead.
First flight crashed like a pancake belly first back to earth.
Then I moved c of g forward a bit and tried again. This was better but still not easy to control as it was over sensitive in pitch.
Third flight was much better, Centre of Gravity now set at 38cm from the nose of the aircraft.
landing of third flight resulted in stripped gears in a servo as the arm catches the ground when belly landing. its a great value kit but i ditched the supplied hinges in favour of some that were easier to align.

F-35 (50mm)

5 - Great packaging and shipping.

...

5 - Kit included everything but pilot, gear, and stickers. NP, I tend to customize mine anyway. Fast, fun, and forgiving flight Characteristics!

...

4 - Everything went together smooth however I am swapping the cheap "taileron" hinges (3 per side) for one solid hinge per side.

Sadly when my shipment that came looks more like a "crash kit" then my stock. It came with a broken nose and a very badly damage wings. Sigh.... Even if I use hot water and glue it still looks bad... HK u need a better packaging ...
