Everything looked great until I discovered the lt aileron servo dead. Went round and round with HK, the best they could do was $5 credit for a new servo. Two problems with that, where do you buy a revers travel servo and you have to tear/unglue three separate pieces of the wing to replace the servo as the wiring is buried in the wing. I offered to send back the entire wing for a replacement but no go. Have since done the wing tear down and installed a donor servo from another airframe(reverse travel). Opened up the bad servo and it was burned up inside??? The quality of the rest of the aircraft seems quite good, hope to do the maiden within the next couple weeks. Since I bought mine I see the price has gone from $125 to $103, go figure.

I am not sure if anything has been improved on the model since the other user's review but...
Plane was easy to balance perfectly with a 2200 3S and 65mm back from leading edge. The plane seems plenty fast at half throttle and blazing at full. It does like to stall in the turns if not done wide enough. Do not use too much elevator (expo helps here...15pcnt). Not a 7 minute flight as advertised in the manual, more like a 5-5.5 minute.

If trimmed right, this baby does insanely scale low speed/low altitude bombing runs.

Be aware this plane comes in HOT for landings. Make sure you have plenty of room to bleed off speed. Once he lands though you can turn almost right away without tipping over, the landing gear is wide and stubby enough, not like my Trojan and Spitfire.

The Durafly Messerschmitt Bf. 110 has outstanding handling and is very strong to outwit hard landings etc.

Great flying and very beautiful scale war-bird.. My problem with HK is why I have to settle for poor quality control.. This airplane came with dead tail wheel servo which I had to replace at addition expense and one of the two motor shafts was untapped to accept spinner mounting nut.. When you purchase from HK you had better be prepared to accept less than 100pcnt of the plane to be working even though they already have 100pcnt of your money from the purchase. I often think it is like Russian Roulette when you open a kit trying to guess what parts are not going to work properly and/or be completely missing from your order......

Hi guys, this is a real cool plane. A few minor niggles, cockpit didn't seat well and one engine with too much downthrust. Both easy fixes. Now for the good part, I have repainted in desert camo of the JG26 1942, added the ventral gun pod, see the picture in my photo library. Good flying

No problems with shipping. No serious problems with assembly, as notes on other posts the wing spare will need some fitting. Problem on maiden, used suggested 2200 3s battery and hit published CG with battery fully forward, however the plane was tail heavy in flight. First flight resulted in stall to the right and crash. Rechecked and second attempt resulted in same. Result from first two attempted flights were dings and dents, as well as a broken gear door hinge on port side. Not a replaceable part unfortunately. Had to add 1oz of nose weight to balance. Flys steady enough, not very fast even at full throttle, about 6 min flight time at full throttle, needs to be flown at full throttle to maintain airspeed. Difficult to trim with twin rudders. Starboard side rudder servo stripped on forth flight. OK first twin but a little disappointed for Durafly product.

Ein wunderschner Flieger. Es ist alles ein bisschen filigran aufgebaut. Damit er geradeaus fliegt musste ich ziemlich stark auf Quer trimmen (gute 5mm pro Ruder). Die Fahrwerksklappen machen Probleme, und nach 10 Flgen ist mir ein Motor im Flug ausgerissen. Aber sonst bin ich sehr zufrieden. Vor allem fr den Preis ist es ein Supper Angebot. Richtig geile Optik. Der Antrieb hat genug Leistung. Mit einem 3C 2500er Accu sind es 6-8 Minuten Flugzeit. Die 2 gegenlufigen Proppeller bringen einen guten Sound. Es sind viele Kunstflug-Figuren fliegbar, ausser Rckenflug. Bei zu langsamem fliegen reisst die Strmung abrupt ab, und er hat 15-20 Hhenmeter bis man ihn wieder auffangen kann. Bei Abenddmmerung ist das Bild das der Flieger im flug mit seiner Beleuchtung abgiebt unbeschreibbar supper. Ich denke ich wrde ihn wieder kaufen.

this is 2nd time trying to put this in they pulled it because it was bad! see if it goes threw this time. the wings need longer spares they will break off at where the cross is on both wings,the motors the shafts are very weak bend real easy, elevator is weak bends very easy, rudder servo melted on 3rd flight caused it to crash never had one do that or first time anyone at rc field also never seen one melt in flight like this one came threw foam. gear doors are not avaiable no parts for them even when it shows on replacement booms i ordered shows them on those but when you get there not on. after 12 flights it looks very bad from all the problems.the gear doors ripped off on 2nd flight do not like grass fields.it flies fine but not off of grass.

I received this model last week in good order and condition. I must say, I didn't know what to expect after reading the previous discussion/reviews on this item, but I am happy to say that HK have rectified the cockpit/pilot issue. The pilots are both now glued and screwed (with ply underneath) and all the servos, lights and retracts (on my model) are working fine. The only issue I had was with the ply wing spar. It is 'still' too tight and I had to do some sanding work to make it fit. The only other negative for me was that there was not enough detail in the instruction manual, especially if you compare with the 'Durafly Spitfire' manual. It lacks detail on the leads/connections, there is no instruction (at all) on how to install the exhaust stackers (up/down) and the photos are way too small. Overall though, a great looking model with a lot of detail at a great price, thanks HK!!
