what do you think? it looks great, wonder how it will fly? i am flying seven electric prop planes right now, and would love to order a jet, but have read about too many problems with these things (burnt esc's, edf units that break, bulging packs, failures to rog, etc). any comments/suggestions are welcome! rob

Rob take my advise, never buy these RTF EDFs, only buy them as kits or with as few electronics as possible. You will end up replacing everything in them to get the RTF.

Ok Rob the other side of the coin. If your looking for a entry level EDF Starmax has a pretty good name. Since you already own several electrics chances are you have a good charger and some descent batteries. I would go PNP rather than the one with the radio provided they tend to be on the shabby side. I own the Starmax F-18 sold trough Hobby Lobby and it was my first EDF it's a great flying plane. Short of a better battery its stock and is really fun to fly. Its not a Mach 1 machine but fun and a cheap price. I got mine on sale for 179 delivered. You can always upgrade components at a later date. It all depends on just what you expect as far as preformance. Do your homework before you buy. Mike

Rob, check with Doug on it he probably already has at least one.

How bout a balsa one? Like my F20. Or my Me262. Little more money, but lot better birds.

Both are HET models, from here. http://www.warbirds-rc.com/

Roll rate is tremendous, vertical performance is awesome, and downright speed, well...most EDFs, you fly around at full bore all the time, with this one, you want to save full throttle for verticals and high speed passes, and throttle back to half or two thirds to keep the thing manageable the rest of the time, it's mighty quick.

Interesting ... also it looks very fast and can pull loops nicely in the video ...
