The sleek, precise, EPS foam moldings and high-quality hardware are exactly as you would expect from Phase 3, and assembly is both quick and enjoyable. Actually, a couple of hours will have it done.
The sleek delta-wing design and careful use of the fuselage allows the Phase 3 Squall to explore its entire speed envelope with control and stability. Even the surface finish has been optimized to enhance performance by keeping it as smooth as possible and small fairings are provided for each servo. The powerful elevons can roll the Squall at an amazing rate (aka a blurr!) and the ability to loop in its own length has to be seen to be believed. The added dimension of a rudder on the Squall opens up the possibility of some radical maneuvers in yaw too.
With 4-cell power, vertical is almost unlimited and speed is mind- blowing. You will need to be quick-witted with this one!
For those that can never have enough performance and really want to challenge their pilot skills, there is an optional Vectored Thrust unit INCLUDED in this kit version. With power substantially over 1:1 you can be sure of enough thrust to do just about anything. This is a truly new kind of jet flying! The 3-Axis Thrust vector system requires NO additional servos and is extremely easy to install.
