To buy or not to buy. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Where in AZ are you? If you are in the Phoenix area, come check out the Arizona Electric Festival happening this weekend in East Mesa:
There will be four or five A-10s flying throughout the weekend.Pat

Most definitely buy it. Out of all the scale jets that Freewing has made (and other manufacturers), this is my favorite one so far. That says a lot. It’ also happens that Freewing has made my all time favorite sport jet as well, the Avanti. This has nothing to do with brand favoritism, but Freewing has won me over as a fan time and time again because of the combination of their quality, design (thanks Alpha et al.), availability (thanks to MotionRC), and cost. At this point, and for a while now, Freewing has been my manufacturer of choice.

I took my sweet time with the flaps and approaches . Thanks so much to everyone
involved here. Its truly a Cadilac dressed up like a Wart hog.
Many Kudos to Motion RC. Freewing. And of course the factory.

Congrats on the successful maiden!!! Can't wait to maiden mine - hopefully in the next couple of weeks if it warms up a bit. Enjoy!
Regards,
Jim

Looks great! Who said, don't cut the throttle,AT ALL!
Keep the fuselage level and establish and control you're descent with throttle.
Your slight back pressure on the elevator was perfect and the landing was sweet
BTW, if you didn't cut the throttle, at all, you'd still be flying, 'til the battery died that isLOL
Land it like you own it!

So I've placed all the water slide decals on my plane today, but the text color seems to get lost over any euro gray sections. Anyone else with a euro green scheme encounter this too? Am I better off ordering callie graphics since those are black?
Will the haze go away if I do a matte clear?
debating wetting and removing these all and just using the dry transfers from callie.2 Photos

Most of the decals kind of disappeared on the dark brown sections of my peanut camo too.My YouTube Videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrz...4Q-xrOOtP2C-8w
