At first glance the model looks nice but don't look at the undersides of the wings, they have more wrinkles that a 110 year old man, no build files at all or manual? How are you supposed to mount the servos and where. And no cutout for the nose wheel either. I have bought other planes from H.K. but this one is a first. If I could I would lower the ratings on this one to about a 2 star. If you are going to sell the thing at least give us a clew on where to put things like C.G. and placement of the servos.

The box arrived in perfect condition from USA Warehouse. Tripple carton box! Model is well protected and arrived without any damage. Workmanship is impressive. Now, how do you put this thing together? I guess for $123.00 on the doorstep, it is too much to expect some kind of manual. Battery location, tail feather servo mounts, wing and elevator attachment, servo leads from wing to fuze, CG... all good how-to questions without an obvious answer when you study the model. There is thread on rcgroups in the Electric Ducted Fan Jet Talk: *com/forums/showthread.php?t=1900045&highlight=f86 sabr. Some info there but much more needed. There is also some info on the page for the USAF variant of this model: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbykingstore__15529__F86_Sabre_USAF_90mm_EDF_Jet_1038mm_Fiberglass_ARF_.html

Well packaged, customs ripped box open and only damage was top canopy frame, 1 little crack.

All parts supplied weigh 1280kg, fly weight will be aprox 2700kg including tri retracts. Superb model, length 1020mm width 1040mm. Retracts already cut out in wing, just covered over, nose ret imprint as well, servo cutout imprints in wing also. Wing balsa covered foam and painted over cover sheet. Gobs of room for batteries and whatever is your flavour of the day to fly with. 10/10 Hobbyking, lets see more of these real looking a/model RC's.

There are no instructions with mine. I would have liked to get some idea as to where and how to fit gear to this plane.

Really nice paint job ... like glass. Good quality fiberglass fuselage. Built well. I added epoxy to a few places just for my own preference. Flys very fast with the stock 90mm fan. I upgraded to a better fan and motor and this thing does a little over 100 mph. Hope this will be stocked in the USA warehouse soon so the shipping charge isn't too much. I'd like to buy another.
