Pretty cool looking plane. Nice flying. Doesn't roll like that Mamba. ;)

Regarding the battery, if you use the Spektrum 600 mAh or anything that weighs 51 to about 54 grams, place it so it’s all the way forward (touching the barrier in the nose compartment. Regarding the plastic doors, they’re extremely flimsy and will fall off if the landing is anything but perfect. I just removed them. For flights without the gear, it’s best to have an AstroTurf like smooth grass or it will tend to cartwheel. Battery time with a 600 mAh is 3 minutes with mixed throttle. You have 20 percent battery left. With a 700 mAh I have about 25 percent left after 3 minutes. So, I would stick with the 600 to 700 mAh batteries. The 850 mAh ones might give me 4 minutes at the expense of higher wing loading-and high wing loadings make planes trickier to fly. I would not recommend this jet for small fields. It needs a large space to get the most of its capabilities.

Thank you for the tips!

Hi, nice video!! One question, have you ever made a video showing how to correctly hold your fingers on the gimbal of the remote control? And I wanted to ask you if you have ever adjusted the tension of the gimbals, I have a nx8 Spektrum and I think that maybe by tightening them a little I can make more accurate movements... but I have to try... I ask you because I see that you are very good and precise in the maneuvers, thanks.

Hello! Thank you! Honestly, there is no right or wrong way to hold the remote. I use just my thumbs on the gimbals, however many other pilots, including my dad, “pinch” the sticks with both index and thumb. It’s all personal preference, there’s no real advantage from one over the other. I recall slightly loosening my sticks on NX8. Some of the best pilots in the world have the sticks so loose that they will flop around if you shake the transmitter. The precision just comes with time! Good luck!

I've not ever had good luck from small(er than 70mm) edf's myself. Umx's (warthog, sabre, etc) failed horribly for me. I know it's me🤷‍♂️.
