This model has a wingspan of 40 inches, length is about 5 feet, comparatively larger flaps and features full digital metal gear servos for the elevators and flaps, a newly designed 3668-1960 KV in-runner motor with a 12-blade fan, and a thrust-reversing 120 amperes ESC, all powered by a 6S LiPo battery.

I had rough time landing the jet couple of times due to narrow main landing gear, which was causing the Jet to tilt on to a side even in a smaller turn on the ground, even when taking off. Also due to the low wingspan and larger flaps, if it gets too slow, it will stall on to a side when lading, so balancing adequate power while slowing down on the runway is seriously challenging with this Jet as its love to roll on the ground like bullet after landing. The new upgraded reverse thrust ESC for air breaks may help overcoming that issue, though I did not have that in my Jet at the time, unfortunately.
