Very quick assembly but the transmitter setup for the elevons and canards was a little challenging. On first flight I failed to get this jet in the air with 6S6000 pack. CG too far forward. But with 6S5000 it jumped into the air. Trimmed out for roll quickly on first circuit then hit the deck for low smooth passes and nice axial rolls. Another excellent jet from Freewing.

@DominicM   --- Did it come with a3 super3 pre installed? The motionrc page lists it as a spare.

No! Doesn't come with a gyro. Don't think it really needs it for the fast flying as you saw in the video. Maybe for slow flight and high alpha. Think I noticed a bit of dutch roll early in the flight but I need to explore that more. Not much room left in the battery bay to install a gyro to be honest. I might try it in the future if I get a chance.
