Great plane, so cool in the air and very easy to assemble.

It looks, and fly, like the real deal, which include takeoff and landing, but especially the takeoff sequence is all about the steering with the narrow wheeels, which furthermore toes out when it run on all three whells, just the real ones. I love this plane.

Disrespect

Apr 04, 2021

I bought the bf109 and within a few minutes a servo failed to work while flying and crashed the plane. Later I discovered a second servo twitched and malfunctioned as well absolutely crazy! I made a complaint and wow I was disrespected by Hobby King they absolutely didn’t care. I own 3 of these plane 2 fly perfect and 1 was made with faulty 2 servos not 1 but 2! After the crash I ordered my 3rd bf109 works great but came in a refrigerator sized box with trash like material and box had dents on it. Motion RC offers professional service but Hobby King is poor name stay away!

A beautiful warbird

The Durafly 109 looks great and has a very nice presence in the air. It's landing gear is more reliable and it has more features than any cheaper similar sized 109 on the market.

A beautiful warbird

The Durafly BF109 has a great combination of appearance and flying performance for the price! It has a more reliable landing gear with more features than any cheaper 109 on the market. It flies like a warbird, not a trainer or STOL plane, but it is still a joy for basic aerobatics and has a great presence in the sky. Lately parts can be hard to find, but I'd recommend ordering a spare propeller when they're in stock just to be safe. The bomb drop ability is also a fun feature.

Good plane but

Mar 26, 2021

This is a nice looking plane but putting it together was more painful than necessary. 1) The servo arms were not properly aligned and I had to gouge into the foam to fix them and 2) The wires were mislabeled. 3) Putting decals on the plane is always painful.
The real wheel is way to fragile as others have noted.
The plane flys well but does not like to settle down for landings. The stated center of gravity is way to far forward for my tastes. I had to put another batter strap in the plane and move the battery way back to get it to balance to my tastes.

The fit and finish of this model is impressive. It seems to be well constructed and has a very cool bomb drop attachment. Look forward to weather allowing maiden flight.

BF-109E Critique

Feb 07, 2021

Great plane to have that is from WWII. It flies great and easy to handle for intermediate flyers. I wish they would bring back the Durafly brand Spitfire MKI as well to complement the 109 out on the flying field.

Very nice version of the 109

It was easy to put together. Take offs are nice with typical torque. Flying fantastic and the bomb drop was very cool.

I have had this model for a couple of seasons and feel I’m in a good position to give an honest and impartial review.
Supplied unmarked and in good order. Assembly was a doddle, went together straight and true.
Flying is as you’d expect with a warbird, fly it with respect and you get rewarded. Try and fly it like a trainer or 3D model and it will bite you hard (make sure you’re high enough to test this). Power is more than adequate, 6 minute flights on 2200mah are easily achievable,
Rudder coupling is necessary to achieve smooth and realistic turns although the rudder has plenty of authority. I have set up the undercarriage on 2 separate receiver channels with a delay on one, really effective but still too quick.
Very cool aeroplane that is definitely not for the inexperienced. Bomb drop is fun too.
