Fun-tastic little EDF

Apr 18, 2022

I'm surprised at some of the negative reviews on this Vampire. I've bought 3 of them and can tell you from my experience, it is a fantastic little EDF and remarkably cheap to buy. It is not a $500 edf, and it does not have advanced features that you might expect from a more expensive jet. But for what it is, it is 100% fun to fly! It can fly respectably fast, and yet will glide power off, and even thermal if conditions are right. The 5 blade fan is quiet, and perfectly sized for this jet. It will takeoff from grass - once the nose wheel mounting plate is anchored to the foam more securely. Landing on grass risks bending the gear (one of the tradeoffs for a value priced edf), so I just belly it in. It handles hard surface runways well. Up in the air, it is fun to toss around, fly fast, or fly slow, the lack of rudders will limit some acrobatic moves, but it is a joy to fly!
The airframe is a little flexible, but this does not hinder its flying performance. It is not a Carbon Z, and it is not priced like one, either. Keep your expectations realistic.....it is a fantastic value for the small price you pay, Fly it, and have fun!!

Well priced, excellent performer, even better with the motor upgrade. We all have them. I repainted mine Swedish colours.

Vampire Jet

Feb 19, 2022

Plane is poor quality compared to other jets of the same caliber. Assembled exactly as instructions stated including CG location. After first flight and the immediate crash it was brought to my attention that the CG stayed in the manual is INCORRECT! I’ve tried to submit email to vendor about this plane although it gets into a undeliverable cycle and does not get submitted. Stay away from the jet.... pure waste of money!

Kit not complete

Feb 15, 2022

When I started to assemble this module, I was very disappointed. Step 1 , glue the pilot into the cockpit.I didn’t receive a “pilot”! So as the kit is not complete I am not satisfied with this purchase

Best Buy ever, maximum fun compared to the costs.

Jan 25, 2022

We fly with over twenty of these birds at our field, The record of together at once in the air is 14 and we are working on more this year. I fly mine very often and since august 2018, unbelievable what the bird went trough, hard landings and a crash our two......thanks to glue and reinforcement wih wood and carbon strips, the bird flies as new, and the retracts are still working fine. Every flight is a 4 minute joy. The plane is my side kick and the best buy ever. No other plane gives me more fun to the euro then this one, yet WW2 prop figthers is my first choice. If you can handle it, the Vampire is a must, I have one in spare, ....just in case :-)
