Product Review (submitted on December 25, 2012):

I have about 10 flights on it so far. One of the easier EDFs to hand launch that I've owned. I had the F86 and had about a 50% success rate on hand launches but this one has no roll or tip stall tendencies. 100% successful launch rate so far. Even if you launch it accidentally nose high, it just floats in high alpha flight slowly sinking but the wings stay level. Just push the nose down level and let it pick up a little speed. The elevator does not need a lot of throw. Had to reduce the throws and add a good bit of expo to get nice smooth control of the elevator. The recommended throws in the book are a good starting point, then adjust from there to your liking. Easy to fly, easy to see even on gray skies with the color scheme and easy to land. On landings it just floats on in and I've yet to see a tip stall even if I just chop the throttle and glide it in.
