fun plane

Aug 12, 2022

This is a durable plane. It's solid and well made. Good power ratio. Solid landing gear. A tank - kind of on the heavy side. I bit more tricky to fly for beginners.

Great plane and flying well....but

Jul 26, 2022

What a great plane and as the name saying it does fly slow. To will fly pretty fast too. My only issue is the motor, the magnets that are glued to the rotating housing on my plane have come loose in flight. they actually started rubbing on the back plate of the motor. I did email Hobby King asking them about this as I HAVE ONLY FLOWN THE PLANE 3 -4 TIMES before this happened.
Now I don't hear well as is, but on the last flight one of my flying club members mentioned to me that it sounded like something was rubbing. Luck I was headed down the runway anyway and did a dead stick landing. We inspected the faux piston on the side of the nose cowl and no sign of rubbing. But once I rotated the motor....BAM the motor, rotating magnets were/are rubbing the back plate.

Motor separated on maiden flight

Jul 17, 2022

I have to start with that I have other Durafly aircraft that i absolutely love (Vampire and Ugly Stick). This one has some issues. Assembly was pretty easy and the airplane looks great. Paint is similar to the ugly stick in that it comes off easily. On the initial take off of the maiden, at about 6 to 10 feet up the motor came apart. The outer shell and propeller with shaft left the airplane. It immediately rolled right and hit a barricade. After further inspection, the c-clip holding the motor together at the back of the shaft either came out or was missing. The motor was fine at initial testing but wasn't under heavy load. I wouldn't have been able to check it unless I had removed the motor. Maybe i just got the one lemon motor. YMMV. Hobbyking wouldn't replace anything since it was involved in a crash. I put in a different motor and while I was in there I also upgraded the ESC. I also repaired the minor damage to the wing and fuselage. Now it flies well. Takeoffs are an adventure as it easily gets squirrely. I just gun it and give it up elevator to get it off the ground quickly so that I can then fly it. As others have mentioned, landings on grass are easy. Landing on a hard surface is tricky as it wants to ground loop every time. It is like a professional drift racer skidding into a parking spot. Flies well once in the air but getting it up and back down can be an adventure.

Skvelý RC model

Jednoduchá montáž jednotlivých dielov modelu. Vhodné vymeniť servá za kvalitnejšie. Veľmi dobre lietajúce lietadlo. Doporučujem !

Not the greatest quality

Apr 06, 2022

Upon opening the box, the wing has marks from being cut out of the mold. Takes longer to put together than you would think. Plan on an entire afternoon. Servos for the ailerons were frozen in place. I had to replace them. Had to add 2 oz of weight to the nose to get the proper CG. The maiden flight went ok. I will have to change the tail section servos as they shake when going up or to the right. Tundra was great, but this plane not so much.

Pity...

I can only recommend the model to a limited extent. There are missing screws for the servo horns. And very important: Be sure to replace all servos!! The installed servos are of poor quality. 2 out of 4 had servo twitches.

Fun plane for learning basic aerobatics

Dec 07, 2021

Easy to assemble. Very small design issues: Need to replace the screws holding the landing gear with washer-screws for better fixing and also build a battery tray from plywood (battery holds a lot better and is a lot easier to find correct CG). Smooth, no thrills flying with 3S, very fun and aerobatic with 4s. I am using 50A ESC and FrSky S6R gyro-receiver.Recommended for second plane after a trainer.
