Fantastic kit and model. Excellent re-engineering of the original. I have been building FF for many years & VMC is absolutely at the top of the pile!
A great third addition to my scale rubber powered constructions. The quality of the components fit and instructions was superb.
Not easy to get flying well but with perseverance controlled flights are possible. It is fast - as a fighter should be! It went "missing in action" on a number of occasions but the distinctive silver tissue meant that eventual location of the errant plane was never in doubt.
After building a few smaller scale war planes this one proved so easy to construct. The CG was easily found and it then glided immediately. Small trim adjustments along the lines suggested and it now flies well EVERY launch, even in fairly blustery conditions up to 15mph. The main problem is finding somewhere large enough to allow for any drift in its wide circles when the conditions are anything but dead calm!
I have had it up there for almost 2 mins on 1200 turns 4 loops of 1/8th rubber. Very impressive flyer with a great rate of climb and lively slow glide.
