HobbyKing Galaxy High-Performance 3D Airplane w/ Motor
A lightweight and agile high performance 3D plane that will push your skills to the limits! Reinforced with CF, and complete with option fins for precision tracking, this plane is designed for ultimate 3D and beyond! This kit includes a 3D ready motor, prop saver and propeller. You just need 3 5g servos, a 12~15A ESC, 800mAh battery and receiver. Construction time is around 3hrs.
Generaly speaking, yes IF you reduce the prop several sizes, however this is a lite slow flying plane and for it to fly well you need to keep it lite. Stick with 2 cell batteries within the recomended range or you will burn out the motor.
Hello everybody,
I am having some trouble fixing a problem with the ailerons. When I move the joystick left or right, one aileron goes up, the other goes down (obviously). The aileron going down has tons of throw* the ailerons going up has very little throw. I need both of them to have the same amount of throw. How do I do this? I've tried adjusting then control horn and so on, but nothing works* it does the same thing. Also, if I fly with this problem present, will the aircraft do a snap roll instead of a simple aileron roll?
Thanks you all for the support.
did you check that all the connections are the same distance especially on the servo horn, if the control arms are uneven distances from the center of the servo arm or the control horn on the aileron it will cause uneven deflection.
Ya you are right William. I am only 12 years old and I have entered in aeromodelling just a month ago. Now i am on the level of 3d planes. With my opinion this plane is not good because the foam breaks easily.
I am looking for a flying challange, and learning some 3D sounds right. :) Is this plane a good choice for learning 3D from the beginning? Any other suggestions? Thanks
hi, i have bought this plane for the same purpose, to learn 3d. but this is a depron foam plane which tears off easily with a harsh landing or crash. i would recomend you, buy a epp foam model of this sort which is available on this site and fly as good as this one. if you like my reply please reward me.
Hi everybody,
All wires for the motor are black, how can I now how to plug it to my ESC ?
My ESC is a HobbyKing 12A BlueSeries Brushless with all black wires too
Thank you
No, but you can buy from hobbyking the connectors, be sure you have extra props, batery and a depron sheet for repais, and thats it, this is a awesome plane, i have one!Regards and good luck!
can anyone give me a complete parts list with links preferably off all the parts I would need to get this plane off the ground. Assuming I have no prior parts or tools like foam safe CA glue and the foam safe activator for that CA
Joel I know you can read but you do not need to much most is includes. So it does say Required.
Battery : 2S 350~500mah 15C
Servo : 3 x 5g
ESC : 12A
Your own TX & RX. An real sharp Kinfe and Foam Safe Ca Glue I hope this helps.
No tener el manual es un problema, debes usasr pegamento que no dañe el material para esto tienes que hacer pruebas en pedasos de descarte. En cintas yo puse cinta transpareente de escritorio y funciona bien siempre que tengas bien hechos los viselados de 45º
I would ask what you want to have. This is better for indoor than the piaget. But the piaget takes a punch if you crash. This one will just brake.. hard :P
So if you're a good pilot and know what you want i would go for this one. If you just training i would definitly go for the piaget since it can take some crashes that fixes with some glue.
This one will like i said, brake and is very hard to fix up to fly like it did. Ive been training alot with my piaget and now i finally ordered a Malibu 2.
So short answer:
Are you noob? Go for piaget.
Do you have some skills? Go for this.
Depends what you are looking for. The Piaget is made of EPP so it is great for learning 3D and crashing it without breaking the plane. The Galaxy is great once you have expereience with 3D and you're likely to crash often. The Galaxy is made of 3 or 4mm depron, so it is extremely light which is key with F3P flying. I love both planes and use they for different applications. When I want to practice moves, I use the Piaget, when I want extremely accurate and precise flying, I use the Galaxy.
the galaxy is depron. the piaget is EPP. depron breaks easier than EPP. the piaget would take more crashing without breaking. If you'e a good flyer the galaxy would be the better plane IMHO.
Hi just got one from DE Warehouse, but no instructions included. assembling is not a problem, but where should the CG be , or is the not so critical, i was thinking smething around the 33% from the leading wing edge
I have the stock engine, 3 hxt 500, 10g esc and a rhino 360mah 2s. But mine weight is 160g ready to fly. I only used CA glue so i just can't belive how heavy this thing is :(
6.5 cm aft of the leading edge measured at the root of the wing (not at the center of the plane) is where I have it on mine, flies slightly nose heavy.

This plane seems to be cool but can it be stocked easily ? It would be difficult to remove all wires to put it flat in a convenient box. Otherwise it's a 900 x 900 x X mm box !!!
Oh! I waited two years for the first real F3P high performance 130gr airplane!
Not sure of this motor... look like a F3P motor but who knows what it worth?
Pair it with your most expensive 3.7gr servos, 6 AMP turnigy ESC (take everything apart! and short the wires!), with 360mah two cell rhino without the cover, 4gr receiver and fly something that is against the gravity of the earth.
ONLY indoor use, if there 3 > miles of wind don't fly!
The TURNIGY 2204-14T 19g Outrunner is a good motor for F3P, can be really good for this plane but if they build this motor properly it might be a better choice.
the motor included looks like a multi pole "Neutrino" copy motor, those are VERY good motors very efficient and lots of power from a really light pack!
turnigy kept the motor light it seems, the prop saver is made out of carbon, some of the servos are connected with pull pulls - very light.
HobbyCity - Send me one and I will review it everywhere and any F3P owner will buy it and I might compete with it on the F3P Competition in USA.
I ordered the 19g outrunner and it weighs a ton. The stock motor is 2100kv, so I would find and outrunner with 1600-2000kv. Lower kv, more torque. Not to low, or else weigh becomes a problem.
Hobbycity does NOTHING innovative on their own. 99.9% of everything they release as a new product has been available elsewhere for quite some time. All they do is re-brand.
Just flew this plane. Built mine with carbon pushrods instead of the pull pull. The motor seems to have enough power box stock with the 8x4 prop.Plenty to pull out of a hover but not ballistic. Flies wonderfully and verry precise, as well as verry slow. Hovers verry easily. Love this setup. 10 amp esc, 5 gram servos, 2 cell 500mah lipo.
This looks like the Tech One Malibu2 in different colors. Doesnt matter really, would love to own one anyway, but have to many flat-foamies right now. Must... resist.....
Model airplane flying great. The new engine is very strong and excellent engine very easy than the previous engine made problems. Absolutely superb flying model to in door????
vraiment une magnifique decoration... et pour une fois pas en EPP! j'ai pas hesite longtemps pour en faire l'aquisition! tres leger, tres solides, tres joli, tres ... heu ...cool

this kit is great. 4.5 stars. the reason for the half a star is because i live in a desolate place where finding parts is impossible and as this plan did not come with hinge tape i was a little dissapointed. A good point is the box came in the mail completely destroyed but the packaging made it so the plan itself was completely undamaged. Usually i have found with foam kits the foam is not flat and needs a little tlc flattening the parts for a

straight build , not so with this plane everything was flat. The wheel assembly was a little bit heavy and strange. To much material that didnt need to be there. I had a light set of wheels i exchanged them for. The kit was cut good although you have to bevel the ailerons and elevator, and rudder but no bigge. i am usin the stock motor on the 8040 slowfly prop and it pulls out of a hover at 3/4 throttle which is nice.used the 4 gram hitec servoes

which saves 3 grams on the all up weight but sacrifices a little on the precision as these servoes do not centre very well but un noticable if youre not anal about such things. You will have to re-cut the battery slot as youre battery is impossible to remove if you velcro it in. I used the HobbyKing 12A BlueSeries Brushless Speed Controller which works well but felt like a piece of lead and i just couldnt bring myself to use it as the pheonix 10a
