It is truly excellent, though I suggest you use the 60 size E-Flite all metal electric retracts rather than the ones they supply as an option.
If you are flying nitro the E-Flite NG will fail. Not a matter of "if" but "when". I installed the Jetcraft just to see if it would last. It didn't. Failed after approx 6 flights. Lasted longer than both E-Flite installations I've tried on other classic pattern acft. Several of my classic pattern buddies on the west coast have tried the E-Flites also. None have been successful. I even tried soft mounting the last time, still didn't work. The Jetcraft failed on me last Friday. Zoom in on the pic and you'll see an extra piece of coupler I slid over the header as pavement protection just in case (they always fail "up"). It worked great!
