MD P38 1200mm Wingspan EPO RC Airplane Lockheed P-38 Lighting Zoom Aircraft Fixed Wing KIT/PNP
A part of the review has been auto-translated.
The kit of the P-38 is well thought out and easy to assemble. The instructions have clear construction stage photos. Adding a carbon spar to the horizontal stabiliser makes sense. With 2 motors Racerstar BR 2208-1400kV and 3-blade 7x4 propellers at approx. 14A each a good speed and vertical climbing is guaranteed. With a 3s 1800 battery, 15min flight time can be achieved with mixed flight. The take-off weight including battery in this configuration is 760g. The center of gravity at 80mm is the rearmost possible position. The model then only has a light interception bow. The model has a nice and calm flight picture. An absolute recommendation for the price!
I bought the kit for 49 € on black friday ! Couldn't let it go... Then it was quite a job to put it together. I use the fuse to put the battery in; the booms for the escs. Such construction needs a lot of wiring, to be constructed mesured to the plane. I had to cut room for that in the wing and make holes in the fuse. The cockpit has to be filled with foam (cut to shape) for it 's just a flimsy plastic thing, though it needs to be the lid of the fuse with the battery. Secure it with a rubber band. Put machine guns in the nose; makes it a lot more like it. After putting the plane together I camouflaged all the holes and outcuts with invasion stripes from duct tape; put on black window glazing and decorated everything with some nice decals. No wheels. Flies on a 2200 mAh 3s lipo which balances the plane perfectly. Very beautiful plane for the price but merely for experienced constructors only.

Product arrived in good condition of CZ. Comes complete in kit. The 2 propeller cones are supplied. A little work for the assembly (cut covers and decoration elements). Two moulded cabins are provided. (full fitting).
Not so perfect as the old GWS P38,but for the price OK.
Nice flyer. Great for the price.
I made the same purchase earlier this year. It arrived badly damaged, beyond repair! This time it arrived undamaged, I appreciate that. Construction will begin soon
Bought this kit from the EU warehouse. The nose cone arrived distorted but then this kit has a poor reputation for quality. Not that cheap either as I've previously bought an FMS kit for ten pounds less.
It's all right.
ive put this one away for a rainy day :-))
