I finalyl got mine done and now have three flights on it. This jet is noisy but does fly well, but not as fast as one would expect. I does handle a bit of wind well also. I was not happy about having to drill out the fan units to accept the 3800 kv motors that eflite reccomends for more performance. I feel that for the price of this plane the fan units should have been made right from the beginning, or at least offer the correct units when upgrading to the 3800 kv motors. I am flying with the CG about 4.5 inches back from the leading edge of the wing. I fly off of a grass field so i didn't install the landing gear. I put clear packaging tape on the bottom instead.
