The AMX is a quite rare training jet that is mainly used by the Italian military, he stands for its easy to fly characteristics and his rareness. Also the choosen painting scheme is very beautiful.
Shipping:
Same as the F16 the AMX is shipped in a small box and everything is packed very good, so you must not be afraid of any damages. You can read sometimes in the internet that the wings are twisted, but mine wasn't affected.
My Setup:
The AMX is a really ARF version, you only need a receiver to get him in the air. I used the already trusted OrangeRx R610.
Build up:
Similar to the F16, al you need is shipped. In this case also a 850mAh 3S battery.
You only have to glue the wings, elevator and rudder, and, of course, install the electronics. Should be done in two hours.

Flight characteristics:
The AMX flies very good, but cannot reach the F16. Take off is unproblematic, a little sinking and then safe climbing.
The flight characteristics are average, you shouldn't fly it too slow, then he starts so swing over the length axis, if you fly it to fast, he starts to swing over the height axis. Rolls and loops aren't a problem, but anyway, a little bit more power would be good.
Landing isn't also a problem, throttle down and let him glide in, but he can't go as slow as the F16.
here are two videos i made with my small cam directly behind the canopy:
