Hi, what kind of batteryconnector have I to use for my own charger (Imax B6)? An is it good enough for a REAL-BEGINNER?
 CrashAce 797 points
the charger that comes with the kit is good enough to get you started. I use the Imax B6AC and think it's works great.

Had the maiden flight today, everything fine until a pilot error caused a low altitude, spiral dive. Plane survived, but motor cut out on impact. Worked like normal at crash site, but after I powered it off and back on again (battery disconnected and reconnected), the motor now powers up to about 30% and dies immediately. Servos work fine still. Got a flashing red light on the board when you open the throttle. Prop spinner came loose, but I quick fixed that. Any ideas on cause?
 jakobø 71 points
I think you burnt your motor. So now only some off the wires are working. But this is only a guess.
 mohammad 34 points
i had the same proplem with a motor i crashed the plane and the motor started doing like yours. i found out that when i activate it, its underpowered. the proplem is the motor shaft broke and that might be exactly what happened to you you have to buy another one. Hope i helped you :)
Yaroslav  2 points - 6/12/2012
 
Can I use another receiver with it's transmitter? Which one will be working? (For self-made plane for example)?
 Vlad 7 points
Yeah, of course you can, if you email HK, they can put it in for you, or you can just buy that RTF kit and buy your own Rx
 CrashAce 797 points
Sorry but this is designed an sold as a RTF TX/RX. It will only work with the provided Nine Eagles controller. (Even if you could find a nine Eagles RX somewhere the TX has no bind button)
 Robachan 1086 points
CrashAce is half right. Binding is easy. Push in (not down, you'll hear a click) the throttle stick while turning the Tx on. It should go into bind mode. Put the throttle to zero (all the way down). Plug in the battery to the Rx. It should bind within a few seconds. Do a search for nine eagles here and you will find this plane's receiver set (Nine Eagles NE407632001A Receiver Set) for sale.

Which spare battery can I buy for replacement?
 vrwolf 716 points
the micro extra 300 replacement battery should be good for it, put the product number in the search NE4771004

Skysurfer EPO Glider 4CH 780mm (RTF) (Mode 1) I bought this item, I have a problem whit the propeller is disconnects when I start the act of flight, is there a way to fix this problem. Accessory was not shipping people thanks boaz
 Robachan 1086 points
I know it's been a year since you asked, but I thought I'd answer in case you still need help. Do a search at the top of this page for "skysurfer" and you will see the replacement prop. That should solve your problem. In the meantime you could try using a drop of CA glue to hold the prop on the motor shaft.

Is there a charger that work on AA battery's, to charge the 7.4V 250mAh Lipoly ? [I'm in South-Africa] so that charger's plug can't fit!
 mirceacul 169 points
The single inconvenient is that plug does not fit! So, why don't you adapt it ? Just buy a plug that fit, some wires, some tape for isolation and you're ready to go! Electronically speaking, that charger supports your AC voltage in South Africa. Or just use another 12V power adapter that fit your standard with the supplied charger.
 eckman69 20 points
Some chargers allow you to aliment with alligator plugs. Then you can use a car battery.

Where can I find replacement motor for 2S! Is there some BRUSHLESS which will work for replacement?
 KeyWestFlyer 8 points
This is and "N60" direct drive motor most often used in for the tail rotor on helicopters. The original Nine Eagles part number is NE413781001A. Hobby King does not seem to carry this type of direct drive brushed motor. If you get a brushless motor you would have replace the ESC/receiver module with your own components.

Is this made of EPO or EPP?which is more durable?
 Wazza_99 864 points
This one is made of epo. As to which one is more durable, its debatable. EPP seems to take much more damage since it has some flex compared to epo. In any case, these two are better than eps.

Hi can i use my nine eagle tx from solo pro fp 2 with this Glider?
 Dude rc 366 points
nine eagles helli tx are not compatible with nine eagles gilders or planes. But you can use the nine eagle J6 tx.
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 michel 2 points
nine eagles helli tx are not compatible with the nine eagles planes or gliders so you can use the above said j6 tx.

hello I speak to them the following, I have more than two weeks to buy a plane and some batteries with you but I did not even shipped my order ah, that's what happens and how much longer delay to reach me my order?
 Wazza_99 864 points
You sadly will have to wait some time, especially after the chinese new year hangover. Even my orders are waiting for 1 - 2 weeks. One more thing, are any of the stuff you bought on backorder? If so, you'll have to wait for stock arrival before they ship your package out.
 grieverance 31 points
don't worry ihad the same problem also.it is because HK had alot of orders and need to check-up so that it wont mix-up or left behind before delivery.This is the 3rd time of my orders,just need to wait 3-10days.
Mebf262a1  22 points - 2/22/2012
 
Hi, I need to know the aproximate rango of the included radio please.
 Wazza_99 864 points
With that wingspan, you should worry more about vision than range to be honest. Should be till out of sight.
 Jarand 3 points
I have this plane, and I can fly it out of sightm upwards!!!
 Jarand 3 points
I believe it is about 700 - 1000 meters.
 Fly-hard 45 points
For sure you will have a range around 1000m cause this on 2.4Ghz. But you won't be able to fly that far cause this is a small model.
AviarioEJSV  5 points - 2/5/2012
 
7.4V 250mAh lipoly if I want that extra is the cost of each and to name the search?
 Robachan 1086 points
The best battery for this plane that is available here now is the ZIPPY Flightmax 350mAh 2S 20C. Make sure you put it standing upright as far back in the cockpit as possible to get good center of gravity. You probably should put some slight weight on the tail as well. I actually recommend a lighter battery for better CG, but none is available now here at HK.
 Kellyann 16220 points
AviarioEJSV sorry please did Robachan answer your question? If not please re phase it so I can help. Please
 Robachan 1086 points
The replacement battery is actually in stock now (Micro Xtra-300 7.4V 250mah 2S Replacement Battery) but it is way overpriced (even after login and put in cart, around eight bucks).
 Kellyann 16220 points
Robachan I hate that. But what can you do!
 Robachan 1086 points
Oops, just noticed the combo price above at six eighty. A little better but still too much. Give us some good alternatives HK!

hmm, micro fpv using the $26 fpv system on n i t r o p l a n e s?

beezlebub sounds cool let us know how she works out.
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 beezlebub 226 points
i tested it with the micro fpv from n i t r o p l a n e s, and it worked fine. however, i had to use two 90mah 1s batteries in series, as the 9v alkaline battery they reccomend using was too heavy. i didn't use the mount that came with the camera, i just used velcro on the bottom of the camera. it worked fine. for a video of the fpv system on a car, go to rcllamadudes channel on youtube.

It's a pity these don't have a $pektrum RX option. I think they would be big sellers.
 kyrre 301 points
Wait for the replacement parts to arrive and build your own. Shouldnt be to hard to build one with the mikro Orange reciever and servos. And then you could add a brushless motor as well. Nine Eagles and $pektrum (Horizon) are competitors and will never use the same technology, just as you will never be able to play PS3 games on a Xbox.
 Gunloon 36 points
I just ordered the Sky 500 and I'll likely be looking at this one too. Yeah, I'd prefer to use my good $pektrum transmitter, but it's really overkill for a relatively slow sailplanes. A minor annoyance at worst, and the proprietary radios won't stop me from getting more NE planes.
 miguel 1 points
i ordered the sky 500 too and i might get this one in 5 months
 Kellyann 16220 points
slaanesh yes I know. But at least Specktrum make a all in one replacement. Me I am stuck with my Tunnigy and there are NO all in ones for them. BUT I am considering buying a Eagle Nine System, So I can get into all the micro plane. You should have a look it looks like a nice Transmitter. It has a LED and id programmable too. Have a look.

This is a superb little glider for calm days. The brushed motor is more than powerfull enough and it glides really well. The servos are quite noisy, but do the job. Im not a fan of the ergonomics of the tx, but its not a big issue. All in all I think this little glider is a fantastic value.

I helped a mate get one of these in the air today. He had only taken it out of the box, but not done any assembly. Very little was needed to be done to get it flying. I adjusted the clevis on the rudder to make it straight, while the elevator and ailerons were perfect out of the box. The stock battery puffed when being charged... Good thing we had 6x350mAh 2s batteries on hand! At first I thought the rudder servo was stuffed, but on 'advanced' (high rates) it moved a little. The plane launched like a dream, had plenty of power and the rudder actually worked pretty well in spite of not moving much! The ailerons don't provide much roll, but steer the plane OK. For tighter turns, coordinate the elevator with the ailerons. All up this is a really good beginner package. The box is really good for carrying the thing around too. Shame about the battery, but really impressed with the rest of the package.
