What a kit! Awesome gel coated finish on glass fuselage, very simple build and amazing performance in such a small package. The plane moves and you better have some good eyes to keep sight of it because it can cover some serious ground real fast. Having to remove the canopy held in by screws every time battery access is needed is the only negative thing I can say about this great kit. Follow the surface throw in the instructions, to much and this plane will be all over the place. I absolutely love the rush this little rocket gives me every time I take it for a flight, it is one of my many favorites.

I was excited to try out another EDF jet and the price was just right for this one. The build time was a little longer than I expected abut the plane looks very nice. My main complaint is that there just is not that much room to hold the receiver, ESC and battery all up front in the nose and it's not very convenient to have to remove the canopy to replace the battery for each flight.
