Fuel or Electric Falcon 25 -39.4" Winspan ARF Radio Remote Controlled Nitro Gas Pusher RC Jet "The wing design incorporates a high efficiency airfoil using ultra modern construction techniques..."star rating 5opjoseAugust 26, 2010A "gem" of a plane. Properly powered it is a rocket! Yet with a bit of reflex it lands nose high in a very jet-like manner. A good entry into the world of Jets. As one club member put it "this is the best introduction to jet plane characteristics, that I've ever seen.".

Haven't assembled it yet. I have been waiting to see what was needed to complete this kit. You'll need 7 servos for the electric build. It needs 4 of the 9 gram mini servos for rudder and elevator. Ailerons have been set up to use 20 gram servos. The front landing gear will probably need to be the same size as the ailerons with metal gears. Jet was shipped nicely packaged with no damage. Be careful when opening up the twin rudders. They come prehinged with CA hindges. One of my CA hinges was pushed too far in and when I test fitted the rudders I accidentally shove the hidden hindge into the rear boom. Now all I have is a rattle since access is blocked to the top of the boom. Don't expect much in the way of instructions. Just has a few b/w pictures with very limited verbage. Definitely will need previous experience putting models together. Exterior fit and finish looks real good. Only had a single small chip/scratch on bottom of fiberglass body. Hope to add to review as soon as build is completed. Plan on adding a Turnigy 3648 w/1450KV, when they become available. Already have 60amp esc but need a seperate BEC to power all those servos. Plenty of room for a 4000mah battery. Will start slow with 4s and work my way up. Motor is suppose to handle up to 1600 watts.

They are really quite easy to fly, even in strong winds. There are now 5 or 6 of these at my field, as everyone else liked mine. Excellent quality and price.

It is defiantly set up for nitro and cheaper to get in the air that way. for high speed with out breaking the bank I used a Scorpion hk3026 1600 an CC ICE 100 ESC. and a 4s 5000 Hyperion Battery. the reports are true about the main gear mounts will Break Trying to figure out a way to replace them with something stronger
