Gumby Very-Slow-fly 890mm (PNF) EPO-KT Parkflyer (AUS Warehouse)

Gumby Very-Slow-fly 890mm (PNF) EPO-KT Parkflyer (AUS Warehouse)
Gumby Very-Slow-fly 890mm (PNF) EPO-KT Parkflyer (AUS Warehouse)


So you like it slow? The H-King Gumby can float about on a gentle breeze at 1/3 throttle and is as stable and predictable as a sure footed mountian goat. If you like slow flyers, and by slow we mean almost stationary, then you will love the H-King Gumby.

The Hobbyking Gumby is plug and fly which makes set up and assembly quick and easy, especially using the supplied full colour instruction book.

The Fuselage is EPO, the flying surfaces are KT Board which combined with the CF Boom makes for a durable model that is going to take the odd knock. The Gumby really stands out it in terms of overall quality and finish, especially at this price. The powerful Outrunner motor & ESC are pre-installed as are all the servos which operate rigid CF control rods.

Suitable for beginners or experienced pilots looking for a slowfly park-flier, the Gumby combines an ultra light flying weight with a huge wing and therefore ultra low wing loading. The slow fly capability of the Gumby is just brilliant, especially with that big SF prop up front and suprisingly, this model can even handle a little breeze. Just for fun, the Hobbyking Gumby is a fantastic, nicely priced and fun parkfly model that is perfect for a relaxing days flying.

Hello, I need a new plane as my micro stick 3 channel wore out. I want a slow flyer to use on a sports oval where there are often people. I used to do loops with the microstick, would this plane be unable to do loops? If so what other pnf planes can fly nearly as slow?

Is this model suitable for indoors?
 frank 5 points
This plane has a wing span of 890mm and have a fairly large turning radius. If not careful, it will crash onto the ground due to lost of altitude. Although it is a slow flyer, it is still a fairly large plane for indoor. I would keep it for park fly only.

yes the plane is a slow fly it would be suited to a large gym if u want to fly in a smaller space try a micro or a 3d plane

Hi, I have a few 800ma 3s LIPOs hanging around - would they be OK in this plane?
 Kellyann 16225 points
david a bit heavier but as long you watch the C of G it will be OK.

cheers Kellyan, i will give it a crack....thanks for your response!
 frank 5 points
The recommended battery is 2s LIPO 7.4v. Whereas 3s LIPOs outputs 11.4v. So, I would not use it for this plane.

Firstly the Foam is excellent and so are the wings and tailplane.
Check the shrink tubing on the carbon push rods the wire ends to the servo arms can be loose in the shrink tube.
The servos don't centre this has been noticed on two separate gumby's
Replace with HXT900's don't know why HK don't use HXT900's in the first place. These are cheap and very reliable.
Throw away the dreadfully unbalanced prop. Use APC slow fly.
Don't use a 1000 battery doesn't fit without surgery.
use 800 batt.(shown in combo deal above)
The Major point is set CG 100mm from leading edge. good old rule CG is at 33 of MAC (mean average chord) need some lead attached to motor mount to acheive this.
