This is one awesome plane right out of the box. 43mm cg is about right with the battery all the way forward. On 3s the speeds are not that crazy and I would recommend this plane to the intermediate pilot. Being a mid wing it is very stable even in 15kph winds. You should adjust the rates to 50pcnt as she can be a bit twitchy flat out if you don't and make sure all flight controls are at zero pre launch. Launch at 45 degrees with 75pcnt throttle has been very good for me. Landing into the wind is simple . Keep her straight , power down and she will glide n nice and soft. Love this plane and will get the rest of them.

Seems Skyangel did quite cost cutting on this model. The foam is great as usual but it now comes with 3s 30A rated ESC. The motor apparently fell apart: the ring with magnets disconnected from rotor hub. It was even not glued up - just attached together. Easy to repair but that's the first time I see such problems on a small size motor.

Flieger war vom Versand leicht beschdigt. Nach kleiner Reparatur fliegt er super stabil u. superschnell mit 4s. Habe allerdings anderen Regler eingebaut, weil man ber das Orginal bei 4-s Betrieb nichts gutes hrt. Ich verwende einen HK Blue Series 30A. Auch der Schwerpunkt stimmt mit dem 4s/ 850mAh-Akku. Also wirklich ein flotter Flieger fr den
"schnellen" Spa zwischendurch.

Received the 2nd order as first plane was destroyed due to pilot error. Not quite happy with the 2nd set received, as the quality is not as good as the first order. The wing was symmetrically out of alignment/ twist at ~10 degrees in horizontal angle. The fuselage also a little deform in certain angle. ESC is no branded, had to replace using the first plane. Motor also not as smooth as previous plane. After assembly and correct CG with some modification, the flight characteristic was not as good as the previous plane. It flies strange in Elevator control too sensitive to stick control. The EPO foam was not molded symmetrically to flight characteristic, hard time to figure out the correct wings mounting angle. for this plane.

Very nice finishing, may be I'm lucky to received all good and functioning electronics part. For this, I got a very smooth running motor and hobbywing skywalker 30A ESC. I had done some mod to strengthen the plane at all main wings, fuselage and motor mount. First flight was good just need little trim on elevator to balance the tail heavy, although I had place the 3S lipo all to the front at the back of motor. After trim balance, second flight was all good very well balance smooth and very fast speed despite using only 3S lipo. Very quick to Aileron & Elevator stick response, totally not for beginner. The stock prop is well match for the size of the plane, good rpm speed and well balance. It flies and will float quite a long distance with no throttle during landing.

I received this F4F double boxed in good condition. This plane came with the large esc (perhaps 20 amps?) I wanted to maiden it at reasonable speed so I put a 6x3 prop on it. I launched it and it immediately climbed and rolled to the right, stalled and crashed nose first. I checked the control surfaces to make sure that they were set to neutral, checked the CG. It was 38 mm from the leading edge (43 mm is recommended in the manual). Tried it again with the same results. I'm out of ideas, Anyone have any suggestions?

On the first look plane is great,nice details for a cheap warbird...but on my the motor mount wasn't glued correctly...this part and the engine cover are totally crooked. =/

Must remove both and glue them again in the right position.Maybe i want replace the ESC and the servos before first flight und build on another prop.
