AT22072 Jetiger EPO Jet, RTF with 2.4 GHz Radio

Tough Ducted Fan Jet with 2.4 GHz radio included
32-1/4" wingspan, 24-1/2" long, 19 oz. flying weight. Tough EPO foam ducted fan jet with powerful brushless motor and 3-cell lipo battery. Model includes a 2.4 GHz radio system for glitch free flying and no frequency conflicts. The canopy has a quick release latch allowing easy battery access. Easy to hand launch from the built-in hand holds on the bottom of the jet. Impressive speed range; will fly slowly under full control, or increase the throttle and blast around the sky. Landings are easy to control and the model slows down well when the nose is lifted. Not for the beginner, but a great model for the pilot with a little aileron experience. Great introductory model to ducted fan flying. Everything you need all in one box. Out of the box and out to the flying field in about an hour.

I just saw this when an email link took me too the site Wed.
I immediately wanted one but it's RTF only ):

Any chance of this in a ARF of at least a PNP.
I'd love to try and hot rod that plane and take it to the field O:

I just posted a vid here:

It's really a cool jet. Fast, stable, tuff (foam), bright so it's easy to see. The vid has couds, so the lighting wasn't real good but it's not bad. I had to compress the crap out of the vid to get it under 30Megs, so the quality isn't super either, but it's ok. I'm really glad I got it. It's easy to control whether you're just barely puttering along, or screaming out of a steep dive. Roll rate is really good as long as you've got some speed. Loops are no sweat. It's really responsive. The only thing I can't speak about is inverted flight. The last time I tried that with another edf jet, I got confused and there was a disaster. (I'm still pretty new to the hobby) It glides in to land with no power required. In the vid, once I've got the plane comin' back toward the camera there's no more thrust. Just let it get close to the ground, then bring the nose up a hair at the last minute. I was impressed with the flight time. I spent most of the flight at about 3/4 throttle or less. The battery didn't have a full charge on it, but pretty close. Overall I really like it. The only modification I made was that I cut the points off the leading edge of the main wing. I do that because when I land in the hay field the long grass get's caught on them, and they usually break off anyway. It doesn't seem to effect the flight performance. If it does, not by much.

Fly low and fast, but watch the deck!

will it take a 2200 3s battry?
and how is it vs the multiplex fun jet?
