Great if you don't want to order from Horizon/Tower.
Went together with a few screws like most of these foamies. Landing gear is superior on this one, love the lights too. No issues with servos or linkages although I might go and upgrade them to du-bro. Overall what I expect at this price point from this brand.Minuses for blemishes in the blue paint on the bottom which I'll just airbrush but they should not be there. The decals on this thing are absolute garbage though. These should be waterslide and transparent not just white with black printed on them. I'm going to order new ones from Callie. Those are my only real complaints.Setup is a FrSky 8 channel SXR receiver controlled by a TANDEM X18SE. Flaperons programmed via ETHOS and elevons programmed in when the "flaps" are fully down for extra control. ESC is a YEP 100A, EDF is an XFly 2200kv and battery will be a SMC 8000mah LiPo for long flights and a SMC 6200mah LiHv when I want it to cook. Maybe a SMC 4400mah LiHv when I want it to REALLY cook but flight times will be 2.5 minutes.This is not a beginner jet for anyone thinking of getting one. If you aren't very comfortable flying a beginner EDF you WILL crash this and you'll be out the $400 for this plus likely another $200-$300 for batteries and powerplant. But for someone comfortable flying say an Avanti or Futura this would be a good step up.
