Looks like another great job by E-Flite. I will be ordering one of these for sure!!!
I don't think there is a retract option tho - the wings and fus dont have the required bays, its either fixed gear or built clean for belly landing - & this is the only option in my opinion - nothing worse than a screaming scale model flashing past with its wheels hanging in the breeze!!
Also, the back end needs tidying up - I'm amazed that E-flite dont provide an end cap to suit - how can they leave it all open like that? Still, should be easy enough to improve, leaving you with one cool little speed machine!!

It's a fake guys, a good one, but fake none-the-less.
When the wing comes off the aircraft rolls the wrong way for starters!! and the roll (even if it were going the right way) is way too 'controlled' for a reaction roll for an aircraft having just lost a wing panel!
Also the way the prop stops at the end is pretty unrealistic in my opinion. You are right Tim, there are vids of large aerobatic models suffering the same problem in flight - they are real and they show some mean knife edge recovery flying too! Hats off to that!!
but not to this one... other than the super computer editing of course
