I recently bought a radjet 800 from HK. It took over a month to arrive as I live in the u.k so i wasn't too bothered about that. I bought the the pnp version which was a BIG mistake! Loads of the screws were missing, the stickers had been put over the ailerons so they had to be sliced and there were dents in the wing and nose of the plane had been squashed quite badly. They also glued the fuselage on instead of using magnets so I cant change the ESC if I wish to upgrade. All in all,,very sloppy workmanship, there was blobs of glue everywhere. I would advise everyone to buy the kit version.

I was considering a F-27Q Stryker but the rad jet is a 3rd of the cost!! Plus the F-27Q Stryker 180 sucks, one crash and it was $150 jigsaw puzzle... at $50 it wouldn't hurt the wallet so much.

If HK had stock of this in USA I would buy one right away! Great review. Would be cool to do a same time comparison of the larger f-27Q stryker and the 800 mm Radjet.

Hello Fellas,
Glad you guys reviewed this one. I just purchased Flyjet X 83 with a 64mm EDf system all from Hobbyking. Still putting it together but looking forward to the first flight. This review gives me some idea what to expect. (Flightdeck)
