The Sky 500 is small and portable enough to take with you anywhere. It features a removable wing that attaches with high strength magnets. The box it comes in also doubles as transport for the airplane. The airplane packs neatly in the box along with all of the accessories for easy carrying.

Gianluca  4 points - 3/4/2013
 
good morning. does the transmitter of the Skysurfet EPO glider (NE30178124204) works with this model? (Sky 500 Ultra micro glider, NE3017872404) Thank you. Gianluca ,Italy

i have a ne-024g transmitter that came with my solo pro v2 helicopter. would it bind to this plane? please only answer if you know for sure.
 jakobø 71 points
The standard transmitters only work for the type they came with. So fixed wing to fixed wing. And heli for heli. If you want one that does both. You must buy the j6 or eqevilant .

will i be able to use my solo pro v2 tx for this? im guessing this plane already has the rx built in
 TuMadre 51 points
In the Nine Eagles world, heli and fixed wing Rx and Tx do NOT mix even though they may look exactly the same. I have the following with stock Tx's: -sky eagle -yak54 -p-47 -sky 300 Each of these fixed wing transmitters will bind with each of the planes. I also have a Solo Pro V2 heli. It will bind with none of these plane transmitters nor will the heli Tx bind with the planes. A possible exception is the J6 Tx which may work with both planes and helis. I cannot say for certain about this however.

Has anyone tryed to bind this to [PRODUCT ID: HK136-M2, 2.4Ghz Micro Coax Helicopter 4 Channel Transmitter] ? They appear to have the same reciever.
 jakobø 71 points
Yes they appear like that. But heli transmitter doesnt work with fixed wing. And vice versa.

Dear Michael,
Thanks for contacting the HobbyKing Support Team.

Yes sir, the transmitter for NE30178724204 will work with NE3017872404 bind and fly model. You can go ahead and place your order with confidence Sir.

Michael2 you have great News so you are happy also this listing says "Compatible Nine Eagles 2.4Ghz (required) (such as Nine Eagles J6 PRO)" so there is no problem. I hope this helps
 cwfsc 66 points
For binding, (1) insert battery into the plane (red LED on RX). (2) Pulling the Throttle Stick down to Zero. (3) Depressing the Code Binding Button (integrated with the Throttle Switch. (4) Switch on the TX. After a short while, you can hear the homing sound from the servo. Done.
Michael2  155 points - 1/11/2012
 
Now I know: You can bind it to a 4 channel NE 024G Nine Eagle Transmitter. The plane has only 3 Channel.

Hi Michael2, can bind with NE024G? Great. But my plane still stuck at the warehouse since I placed my order on 9/1. Regards
 cwfsc 66 points
Had tried. NE024G for heli won't work though it is the same TX (NE024G) coming with Sky500. Beside, battery can be charged (one at a time) from the TX (same as the heli version). Suggest using the charger/adapter set NE4210902 (availbale at HK) that 2 batteries can be charged simultaneously via A/C.

Quick answer needed! Is it a 3 Channel Transmitter or a 4 Channel? 2. Can I use the Transmitter from that HK product: Produkt ID: NE30178324214
 Kellyann 16228 points
Michael2 it does say in listing ""offering full 3ch control"" So just 3 channel. i hope this helps
 cwfsc 66 points
Look at the wing. Sure 3 channels.

Can I use nineeagle xtra-300 tx for this bird ?
 beezlebub 226 points
umm, i think so, i was going to get one and use my transmitter from the sky-runner.
 Michael2 155 points
Is your transmitter from Sky runner a 4 channel??? Is it the same as NE 024G with 4 channel from Sky surfer????
 Robachan 1092 points
Confirmed. I just successfully bound my xtra 300 Tx to my new Sky 500.

I'm having quite a no. of 1S 3.7V 120mAh Li-Po batteries. Wonder if they can fit this little glider?
 cwfsc 66 points
Yes, 120mAh can fit the plane well.
cwfsc  66 points - 1/7/2012
 
Nice to see this little glider. Will HK bring it the Sky Climber too?

1st things 1st - I converted mine to 5gram HK BL and brick. that said. This plane is a darling, a jewel... a diamond in the rough! It is the Perfect Outdoor RET Brick Brushless Micro Glider Conversion! (thats pretty specific but very desirable given its a tiny glider, an easy conversion, and availablity of cheap brick/brushless gear!) It is just rigid enough to handle power. 2s100's provide better glide, flies so nice. I love the folding prop and sound of bl motor! Super easy conversion. Mount ARbrick; same location using same pushrods. install 5gram with round disc laying flat against foam tape fuse together no need to glue motor in! If you have the brick/bl gear and skilled to wire up for <2s180 lipo - this plane is a must have in your micro collection! A True BL Micro Glider - very impressive performance and looks! I'll post flight video, to back up my talk, always do, so impressed with it. I tried other small glider conversions but this one I absolutely love! will probably order two more kits!!!

Recomendo este produto. o sky 500 voa perfeitamente, e é muito, muito, muito fácil controlar. é possível voar em locais com pouco espaço. é um aero muito leve. Pesa apenas 39 gramas. Consegue-se voar perfeitamente em dias com pouco vento. O único problema é o fato de o motor ser com escovas. Não sei quantos voos ele vai durar. Por enquanto foram 12 voos de pura diversão. a duração de cada voo depende do tipo de voo: voando calmamente plus-15 minutos. voos mais nervosos duram em média 6 minutos
