Great looking EDF. Quality components I.E. 10 blade fan unit, electric retracts w/suspension, etc.. Only reason not 5 stars across the board is the one I got is NOT EPO. When gluing the wing tanks on, I decided for ease to use thick CA glue. 5 min later the foam had disintegrated all around the area. That would not happen with EPO. Filled with micro balloons and epoxy no worries. I'm not one of "those guys" that'll cry and want a refund. Move on, this one is EPS and I'd still get another one.

Fab jet for second EDF great flyer,goes together with a little patience to make alignments perfect.Have to be careful with handling during constuction as the paint seems easily damaged.I found a perfect match touch up paint then coated it with sealer.I would set the COG 5mm forward of the recommended 75mm (which is measured from the front of the air intake not the wing leading edge).Floats on landing so am installing flaps on mine.The auto air intakes work well.Flight time 7 mins on 4 cell 3800 mA with 30pcnt residual.The hatch clamp needs to be loosened as hatch is prone to damage when servicing lipo unit.

Packaging ,not the best outer carton but no damage on receipt.Paintwork easily scratched even on carefull unpacking.I coated mine with clearcote sanding sealer seemed to be more resistant to contruction rash.Lander gear ,Lander EDF,good quality 80A ESC no skimp there.
No pilot included which would have been nice.....
Most of construction already done just fitting pieces together tail,wings,droptanks,makes life easy.
Do not like the hatch system for battery,held in with pegs and clip..serious wear here after a few flights.I modified mine to plywood tounge and magnets.
C of G a bit vague...should be set at 65 to 70 mm for first flights ie nose heavy..then adjusted backwards ie.75mm when throws are comfortable.
Spring loaded supplimentary air intakes nice touch....
Overall good model for the money .Lander product although not advertised as such
