Nice plane, poor support

Sep 05, 2023

First, the aircraft is terrific, it flies really well and the rocket assist is a real crowd pleaser. The rocket motors are expensive and change the CG quite a bit when installed, remember to compensate for that. The 2200 mAh 4s packs work great but I have flown mine on 1800 mAh 3s pack as well, much lighter flying weight and still good performance. The electronic unit can be had from other sources. Do not over tighten the spinner screw, it will crack the spinner. On takeoff the landing gear will end up somewhere on the runway so you will need a helper to run out and get it. Best takeoff is from a smooth surface, a bumpy surface may bounce the wheels off too soon and you will break the prop. Watch the excellent video here!

Good rocket

It flies very smoothly.
Stable flight even at low speed.
Insufficient thrust to the left can be corrected by installing a washer.

Set-up for control surfaces

Dec 31, 2022

I set the elevator to full 100% throw, the ailerons on 70%.
this gave me better take off control.

Flys great

Take off is a challenge and the motor. It pulled badly to the left. The motor was pointed quite a bit left but otherwise once in the air was easy to fly and very stable at all speeds

Great plane

Alittle hard on take off but just takes more effort. Once in the air flies great and very stable. Lands very easily

Excellent value

In value per dollar this is hard to beat. Provided you set it up according to the specifications it is easy to fly (but being small and fast it's not a beginner airplane). Put an air-started "C" rocket motor in it and it is just amazing.
The only gripe I have is that the magnetic dolly release is out of stock.

Super Nice!

Just finished assembling my new ME-163 V2. Came well boxed and in perfect condition. Easy to put together and looks fantastic. Finish and decals were perfect and includes optional swastika tail markings. Overall size is good. Big enough to look great and small enough to fit easily in my car. New wider dolly system looks good. Have not flown it yet but looks like it will be a great flyer. May have to pick up another one to custom paint in a different scheme. VERY happy with this bird!!
