Is the wing detacheble (for transport)?
 Tizio 8 points
The wing is in two parts, with wing joiner rod fiberglass. Warning wing joiner rod is very weak my broke in the second flight. It is better to replace the wing joiner rod with a stronger
 Allison 1356 points
Well did that help Ralph. If it did not I can tell you that the wing are meant to be glued on. This plane looks great and flys nice (for a drone) but hard to store and transport.
 Allison 1356 points
I was hoping some one would come up with a mod to make wings removable!

Bonsoir

Je reç*ois ce jour ce modele. Emallage complè*tement abimé* par le transport et certaine piè*ces de l'avion sont abimé*es.
Né*anmoins, je suis relativement dé*ç*u de la trè*s basse qualité* de ce kit

Anyone get a manual with this plane as I did not and I cannot find the locating holes for the tail fins in the fuselage? Any help appreciated
 Michael 29 points
they are 1/3 hight of the fusealagesame level as rudder, you can feel them
 Kellyann 16225 points
Bhally1 mine did reward me and I will up load it. Also was your color correct. Mine is Green and White
Bhally1  18 points - 1/19/2011
 
Anyone have the C of G for this aircraft?
 SkyHawk Newbie 51 points
Same as any other plane /glider.. 1/4 to 2/3 back from the LE
 Aeromodeller 216 points
2/3rds back for the C of G is wrong It would be very unstable. 1/3 would be the max. You can see if the Cof G is correct on landing by checking the elevator trim you had to use. Up ele means nose heavy, down ele means tail heavy. To confirm it's correct after adjusting the weight distribution and centralising the elevator again, roll inverted and climb gently ....it should keep the approximate trajectory without any additional trim.
 Kellyann 16225 points
Bhally1 I have a manual which shows ask me and I will up load it. Also was your color correct. Mine is Green and White
 invurni 2 points
Hi You can send a manual constructive? thanks campoli.p * gmail****
chesley91  24 points - 1/19/2011
 
What is the size max of the prop ? I intend to install a Turnigy SK28-36 750 which fits the 400 size and which suggested props are 11x8~12x6 Thanks
Patrick  6 points - 1/12/2011
 
I was actually looking for a drone like this but due to unreallistic colour scheme and wrong name on the plane I will not buy it. The correct name is MQ-9 Reaper and all the pictures I have seen of the real model are showing a plain gray plane. A pitty, because the construction itself looks good.
 garett 1763 points
if this plane would be in a plain gray, it would be truly "invisible" against clouds...
 helichoper 61 points
Well you could call it a MQ-9 Reaper and paint it gray and your good to go.
 zeroiq 85 points
This plane also does not come with real weapons/missiles. Totally unrealistic, and therefore I will not buy it.
 RattleSnake 361 points
OK first off, this is NOT an incorrect colour scheme, 10 sec on google would show you that
(It did for me)

Secondly the MQ-9 Reaper was origionally named Predator B, so its not exactly a wrong name.

Next time please spend at least 1 minute
researching before posting misleading comments.

This is a very well made plane although the
plastic dome is a bit brittle.

It flys very smoothly when setup with a bit of
differential for the alerons.

 IsaacW 42 points
And the real plane is definately not made of balsa. How unrealistic. If it had been made of aluminium with a semi-monocoque construction and high strength composite materials, then I might of bought it. Patrick, I feel your pain.
 krisp 124 points
Yes, im with you isaacw. And a realistic FPV with autopilot should be included too. And dont forget the military weapon system. So its not really a bargain at all. If someone find irony he can keep it. Thank you HC, I like this plane!
 Fugitive_Bill 418 points
One word 'IDIOT'. Everyone knows who I'm talking about. This looks like a great plane. Nice price too.
 garett 1763 points
c'mon people no need to be so rude. Everyone of us has his own requirements. There somewhere is build log for this plane, and it's not so easy to fly it..., but of course it looks great.
 Hrubster 445 points
Krisp and Fugitive. I'm with you guys. If it doesn't meet your high standards don't buy,don't fly and above all else don't CRY about it. Get it somewhere else.

I dont know why they dont put a camera mount in the nose.plus it looks like you cant put one there if you made your own. Perty dumb
 BerteiB 75 points
It wouldn't be hard to fit a camera to the nose. You just need to remove a little of the structure and mount the battery a little further back. CofG shouldn't be a problem with the weight of the camera
 Fugitive_Bill 418 points
Would be cool if it came with two canopies, so you cut one up and fit a HK 'FPV Fiberglass Pan-Tilt Camera Mount L-Size' kit and still have an 'intact' canopy to use if not using the camera gear.

Got my one fast (4days) from German warehouse.
Looking good first look, but found some defects.
The controlepins in the wing to stop bending are pushed in compleatly so I hve to drill them out and glue new one in.
The wooden "stick" ( joiner?) to hold the wings is to soft and broke
Recommend to make one out of fiberglass.
Have not build further waiting for the motor :)

Bespannung war an einer Stelle leider eingestochen. Keine Aufbauanleitung vorhanden.
Fuer versierte Modellbauer jedoch kein Problem.
Bugfahrwerk fest - unbedingt auf angelenkt umbauen.
Passgenauigkeit der GFK-Teile - nicht ganz perfekt. Werde Fly Cam einbauen. Platz ist genug vorhanden.

Ein sehr problematischer Flieger. Wie in vielen Foren geschrieben neigt er zu Tip Stalls, vor allem in langsamen Kurven.
Der Flchenverbinder ist aus billigen Alu und war nach meinem ersten Flug bereits verbogen. Hier mu unbedingt ein Ersatz aus Stahl oder Carbon rein.
Der Start mit dem Fahrwerk ist problematisch wenn ein zu groer Propeller verwendet wird, denn dieser setzt schnell auf und ist dann hinber.
Ich fliege meinen mittlerweile ohne Fahrwerk und starte aus der Hand. Das geht gut.
Allgemein ist wichtig, da der Flieger nicht zu langsam geflogen wird, das mag er gar nicht. Segeln geht nur mittel, da er schnell Hhe abbaut.
Als Motor habe ich fr 3S einen mit 1500 U/minV verwendet. Prob sollte nicht grer als 7, max 8" sein.
Fr FPVler. Es ist fast kein Platz dafr vorhanden. D.h. es mu alles oben drauf gebaut werden.
Die Heckabdeckung fr den Motor habe ich weg gelassen, da dieser sonst berhitzt. Die Fronthaube mu gelocht werden um Khlluft zum Regler zu fhren (ich habe meinen Regler vorne, nicht hinten).

Try to include as much data as possible.this plane I receved in Jan.I put it together and I noticed the spar was wood and weak I then put in A plywood one instead .This made it stronger it is a very good plat-form for fvp I changed the V-tail to just up-down and split the rudder to make it useable as a rudder the servo i use for it. I also use for the noise wheel made it A little longer were it goes up through the plane to give it a control-horn on it .Were the canopy with the control rods to the tail hit at the back of the canopy.I then braced it .And cut out A small pice of wood ply to allow the canopy to lock well. I hope that it will help-you!!!R.W.B.have fun flying.P.S.thank-you HK.

Das war mein zweites und letztes Modell von HobbyKing!!!
Da steht: Modell kommt mit detailierter Beschreibung!
Lüge: Beschreibung erst nach Rückfrage uber HobbyKing via Internet zu finden.
Nächste Lüge: US-Dacals und Spinner fehlen auch!
Reklamiert, hinhaltende Antworten, faule Ausreden.
Ein Modell anbieten und Teile nicht liefern nennt man in Deutschland schlicht und einfach Betrug!

This was my second and last model of HobbyKing!!!
There stands: Model comes with detailierter description!
Lie: To find description only after further inquiry uber HobbyKing via Internet.
The next lie: US-Dacals and spinner are also absent!
Complained, holding out answers, decayed excuses.
A model offer and parts do not deliver one calls in Germany purely and simply deception!
