i have the a stinger 64 and i also have this goshawk. it would not be efficient to put the standard stinger 64 edf unit in this model. what you need for this model is a good 4cell set up. try the 64mm alloy edf unit istead it would be a blast PRODUCT ID: 107000006 . i run mine w/ zippy 2200 4cell 45c its a blast to fly

Can I cut the battery bay out slightly if needed or is the foam not thick enough?

I already have the motor and CP 10 blade fan..I just wanted to know if I could use the motor and CP10 blade fan. Also..Does anyone know what is included in the box..i did not get the aileron control rods you can see in the product pix.

Why not? I have mine with a 70mm 10 blade fan in it. Just need some dremel work and it will fit. The aileron connecting rod should be included, you may like to contact HK and ask for it. I bought the kit version and it includes: 1. nose cone 2. fuselage 3. Wing 4. Horizontal Stab X2 5. Vertical Stabl 6. Elevator connecting rod and clevis 7. Aileron connecting rod X2 and clevis 8. Landing gear and wheels 9. Canopy 10. Cockpit 11. Cockpit secure lip 12. Sticker decal set 13. red triangle stickers for red area around the nose 14. Intake covers

Ricksonchow thank you for that..I eventually found the.hidden under some stuff in one of the attached boxes.What motor/ESC/Battery combo are you using? I have the L2855-2800Kv motor.Would that give me the power and if so what battery should I use?

ricksonchow

That's great that you finally found it. I am using Turnigy plush 60A esc. I was using the L2855 2800 to power the 70mm 10 blade for 4S, but now I switched to L2855 2300 for 5S. This setup gave me much more power with a lower amp draw.

I bought this kit but HK do NOT stock the recommended motor(b3836-4300Kv)What other motor would suit that will run on 3/4s batt..Please HK do not recommend things you dont stock.

I would strongly recommend ID: 107000006. It suits the mounting position of this plane just perfectly! besides through home made bench tests I can confirm that this motor gives about 800-900g of thrust at full 4s battery, taking 50A at peak. so supply your set with 50-60A ESC (I'd recommend "turnigy trust" 45-55 or plush 60 (depending of your flying temper)) and 1800mah battery (ID: N1800.4S.35 allso suits perfectly into battery area of this plane). you will not be disappointed!

This airplane came with 5-blade impeller, I want to use the Turnigy 2610 EDF Outrunner 5000kv for 55/64mm fans. There was no adapter with the airplane? Which adapter do I use to fit the motor with the fan? I have got a 3.0mm axle on the motor.

I see some (most?) of the reviews for the UK warehouse complaining about the nose cone being missing (and the usual cr*p service when they try to sort it out). It's not shown as being separate in the pics, so where does it start? Is it the whole of the bit with T45 painted on it? How wide is it, at the base, or how wide is the nose where it attaches? Is it a plastic cone, or a foam section?

ricksonchow

41 points

I bought it form HK when the UK warehouse was out of stock. Fortunately nothing was missing. The nose cone is made of very thin soft plastic. It is 77mm wide and 80mm tall. The length of the cone is around 134mm

_Yuriy_

the best fan motor for this plane is ID: 107000006. it gives about 800-900g of thrust at 4s. you need 50-60A ESC to power it (I'd recommend turnugy plush 60 or turnigy trust 55 (turnigy trust 45 will allso be suitable if you're not going to fly at full throttle all the time)) and the battery 1800mah 35C

You have to glue the two canopy parts together. There are plenty of EDF units on hobbyking to choose from. Just choose the most powerful!

can the landing gear be taken off for belly landings

FlyRcFly

1744 points

Yes! Off course you will have to hand launch. Also you will need to land on grass. If you land on a hard surface you will grind away the belly. Even short dry grass will stuff it.

Add some fiberglass tape to the belly to save the EPO when belly landing!

hi guys, what motor do you suggest for 4s? I bought the 2615 but in specifications says is only 3s... Any help?

Palber

HK2836 3800kv is a good option.

IOANNIS

you will need to upgrade your esc before anything. im running 4s on stock everything. i only swapped esc's.

Hi guys, anyone, can suggest a non so much expensive retracts for this bird?

Palber

115 points

In rcgroups thread of this bird you can view many photos & how to add retracts. "Servoless Retractable Landing Gear Set" would work well in this plane.

IOANNIS

if you use the 3s set up the plane have no power to fly with retracts

For 4s what capacity can fit in battery compartment? the same 2200 -2800? 4000mah is too much, since I already have 4000mah for a p51....

for 4s, I use a 2200mah turnigy nanotech. I think 4000mah is too heavy

I boought this motor Turnigy 2615 EDF Outrunner 4800kv for 55/64mm, and this fan: EDF Ducted Fan Unit 7Blade 2.5inch 64mm, this is a good choice to run it at 3s ?

-Myst-

23 points

Yes, very good choice. You must choose 2200-2800mah 3s 25-30c nanotech for best performance. I think you can try this motor with 4s

Hi I fly this with a HK2826 EDF 3800kv Motor and a 6 Blade Ducted Fan Unit (SKU:OR003-00104-6b). Flies great and lots of power. Also a thrust tube made a big difference. A soda cup from Mc Donalds or somewhere with the botom cut out make a good thrust tube.

Do you thing is a good choice use a 7-blade edf unit with a 4800 kv motor 2615 , and a 70 A esc for 3s?

Caulnian you will have to supply your own edf and edf motor. Listing says EDF: 64mm (NOT INCLUDED). This is strange HK normally supplies the duct.

Caulnian I did I was adding to JORDI: This plane reqires this: B3830 Brushless Outrunner 4300kv (NOT INCLUDED) But the one in the F18 is: Motor: B2025 Brushless Inrunner (4300KV) EDF Diameter: 64mm. Yes it is the same out side size 64mm but yours is far less powerfull. They both will spin aat the same speed give the same battery. But less thrust different fan SO NO NO

good night, I think that F5's power motor it's poor for this jet, but i have been flyng three or four times whit this motor, it flies good, but it needs more power. Last week I received a new 64mm impeller for my T-45 (the other was broken for a crash) next week I will put the new impeller in the old t-45's motor, with this motor It flies better. Bye.

Kellyann

16221 points

joumana most 3830 do not like to go above 13volts, so yes a 4s would burn out your motor quite quickly. I hope this helps.

I THINK BETTER TO PUT MOTOR 4800 KV AND 60A BRUSHELLES SPEED CONTROL IF U FLY WHIT 3S 3000MAH THEN IF U USE 4S 2650MAH BETTER TO USE A 3600 KV MOTOR AND IT WILL FLY PERFECTLY AND FAST..... WHIT 3S SETTING U WILL NOT DO LOOPING ETC..ETC...

Can someone recommend a Motor and 64mm EDF combo that will work well with this jet on 2200Mah 3S lipo's. I do understand that 4S would work better, but I don't want to have to purchase yet another set of batteries. I'm just after a simple EDF jet to have some fun with and this looks fairly cheap. I'm usually just heli's (250, 450, 550) and indoor foam planes, just wanted to try something different.

2 thumbs up!

I had one of these a while ago, and it was awesome. Really stable in flight and beautiful too. I crashed it when I was distracted for a second, but as soon as these are in stock I'll buy another one. I will use a Turnigy 2615 4800kv motor with a 40 amp ESC to get a better than 1:1 thust to wieght ratio.
I recommend these to anyone with some flight experience,they are fantastic jets. And of course you can easily mod them to add rudder.

This is a real EPO kit, not the old sapac foam!!!
There are some new details and new improvements: ailerons linkage, elevator struts are stronger, better canopy and cockpit, better wheels.
Seems a good kit to work with. Thank you HK!

Received it yesterday. There is no fan in the kit as described. Looks nice but I can not say that the quality is exellent. The parts need to be reclued. The front landing gear shoul be reinforced. I'm going to fly it with origin Sapac EDF with Sapac Black Tornado 2853 4800KV motor.
