Can you say PRICE GOUGE????
WTF is it with these sellers on here trying to sell banana Hobby/BlitzRCWorks EDF jets for almost three times the price??? bananahobby sells this as an ARF (Almost Ready To Fly) for about $350-$375. You can buy the BlitzRCWorks 12-channel transmitter with receiver for $90-$120 and then you could spend up to $150 for a battery but can also spend around $85 for a still very good battery. Also, bananahobby has a Li-Po charger that can charge four batteries (simultaneously) of various types and sizes for under $100. So at the very least this item is listed for double the cost. You people should be ashamed of your greediness. Amazon should have a Price Gouge Policy with their sellers.

Truth about it
Ok Ive been in the RC industry for about 10 yrs and many have said much about this product. Here is the truth. These Aircraft fall into the the EP foam RTF or ARF category. They are made by blitzworks and for the size it is a very good quality airframe. The electronics that come with it are very substandard and low quality. This aircraft on Amazon is way over priced you could buy everything on Banana Hobby for cheaper but their quality is no different. If you buy this item from Amazon or Banana Hobby you will still recieve the same product with cheap electronics. I have flown this aircraft with upgraded electronics and brushless motors and it is a very stable and superb flying aircraft. I give it a 1 Star because of the price guage. If you are looking for a nice EP Foam jet I would suggest a kit version and put quality electronics in it and it will be a show stopper at any airfeild. Biltzworks makes great models but thats where it ends. The electronics are substandard and thats why they are able to sell them for so cheap! Amazon drop the price to about $399 for that is a fare price for this product. Buyers do the research before spending that kind of money.

BlitzRCWorks 12ch FA-18
This item is a 12 channel edf capable of up to 12 channels but can be flown on 6 channel and up to the full 12 channels. It does require at least 9 channels to use the retracts and the 360 degree vectoring capability If you happen to have a Hitec Aurora 9 channel Radio as I do you can have a lot of fun with this unit.If you buy from banana you can specify the color scheme you want. Personally i don't have one yet, BUT i have a friend who does and he let me play with it at our local club. I am in the process of buying the F-22 Raptor from same maker. These jets will fly great but don't buy the BlitzRCWorks 12ch Radio since it's a $50.00 addition to the $479.90 price and my friend says he almost lost the plane when it lost signal from the radio. Now he Flies with a Futaba 8FG which now has 14 channels (check futaba site for details).NOT to flame the seller but the price he wants is OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH at more than 2.4 times the cost at other websites.

For the price, my first thought was this is a "REAL" jet. Then upon reading closer discovered it was only a EDF! LOL give me a break dude! Dont worry, you WILL NOT get the opportunity to break it off in me!

Something seems wrong with these reviews
Every negative review here also recommends Banna Hobby.... I wonder if they are having their employees log on and write these - none of them have purchase verified by Amazon. As a second note - I purchased a Heli from them two years ago and the battery wouldn't hold a charge - when I tried to return it, they said the 30 day warranty had expired - I had purchased it in Nov for Christmas gift... so much for standing by your customers - instead they penalized me for buying early. Just saying - these reviews and consistent recommendations appear suspicious.
