I took this model up for a quick spin.

Here's a quick review.
Model: the external model is very nice. Well done with good attention to detail. The MD-80s have a slick and sexy streamlined shape so you can't go wrong there. They modeled it pretty well. One defect I might notice is that the engine blades don't rotate. I am far from an expert in MD-80s but I would assume that all jet engine's blades would spin ... these ones don't. Not a biggie, but a tad annoying in my opinion.
it's a great plane. It's simple (perhaps too simple), bare bones but fun to fly. Good looking model and friendly instruments and VC. Nice low-frames. It's perhaps the best FREE MD-80 I have found around. Very well done considering that it doesn't cost a dime. Give the choice between spending 30 bux for a payware MD-80 and this guy, I keep this guy any day.
