While I think it's a generally OK visual model, I ended up getting a refund as a result of flight dynamic issues that I found to be so far off that it wasn't enjoyable at all to fly. Primarily, there's still an unresolved rudder input problem that causes an opposite direction rudder roll. Also, a continued aileron roll after neutralizing the stick. I'm not a DC/SC Designs hater at all, as I own their F-16 and F-15 and have been generally happy with both of those models. However, in my opinion, this F-5 needs a complete rework of it's flight dynamics before I'd recommend anyone buy it. PS: Although it's been many years, I flew T-38s as a student in USAF UPT. The F-5 should have very similar flight characteristics to the T-38. This model is way off.
