I dunno. The wing loading on that figures out to over 40 oz per square foot. That means paved runways and a long TO run.

RE: E-Flite F4 EDF
I think the F-4 will have similar performance to the Habu 32. Most of these popular designs by ParkZone and E-flite use the same winning formula. Once there is a baseline product, it can re re-sold in different airframes. Eventually, you'll target each customer's desire. The slightly larger airframes (over the original Hawk and F-86) make them easier to land. E-flite has also gotten very good at choosing a color scheme that helps orient the model in the air.
Although the performance is usually better, I have never been too keen on sport jets. A scale replica, like this F-4, really gets my attention. It will be interesting to see when it becomes available.

RE: E-Flite F4 EDF
Test flew my F-4 today. Very impressed with the flying envelope, goes very fast and PUUTS around half throttle real well. Built stock per plans and addenum. Set elevator throw at leading edge of stab. I did notice on landing when you throttle down a little extra elevator required as the sink rate increases more so than say a Habu. Flew ail. low and elev. mid., two clicks of up, trimmed and on its way. Weight 7lbs. 1oz ready to go. Thought it was going to be a handful however pleasantly suprised how well it flies and lands. Have fun guys and definately worth the wait! WHMC STL
