    The video was really good, think they did a great job introducing again something with a little more flavor. Can’t wait to see some more new jets arriving this year

      Thanks!
      I had to rush it a bit, but I think I still managed to do a decent job... :D

      As for new jets, I'm really looking forward to see the Freewing Su-57... wonder if it'll be ready before year's end?

            Just as promised, there goes a better video of the 2nd and 3rd flights.

            Mind that part of the weird engine sound is because I'm using differential thrust for the lolz.

                Tail heavy???

                No way. Even with the stock battery pushed all the way back as far as the ESCs allow, the model is still pretty nose heavy.

                Did he even program expo?
                He's probably just feeling the touchiness of the model.

                  I actually maidened mine back on May 29. Have 4 flights so far.

                  Everything was perfect set up with suggested CG and the throws were great. Might play with the throws some more.
                  Flight performance was fantastic on the suggested 4s CNHL pack.

                  A great new product!

                    Some have had EDF rotors detach, it may pay off to tighten them a bit more, particularly if you ordered early on. I've been told this has already been addressed at the factory, so newer batches should be fine.

                          100% agree. I was a little surprised at just how well it handled and performed.
