Hi Jonathan, the F-5 fly's great. I am sure if you do a search here you will find plenty of information about this jet.
In general it fly's great and can land with an incredible high AOA. Put a 30lbs thrust engine like the Super Eagle and you will have huge verticals and speed.
Also the F-5 is very scale and you can even have it with airbrakes.
The landing gear has been upgraded to have hydraulic shock absortion like most ARF Plus jets and it is also very scale.

Here is a small video of a customer flying the F-5.
