Sperholzmotormount gebastelt, zustzlich an den abgesgten Vierkant geschraubt (bndig verklebt). SP mit C3530 (Welle durchgedrckt) 1400KV und 3S 2200mAh pat sofort. Leistung so auch mehr als ausreichend. Fliegt stabil und recht schnell. Nicht fr Anfnger. Aber sonst machts riesig Spa - wird fast zu meinem Lieblingsflieger (insgesamt 5 geordert).

Got a plane. excellent quality, thought to be worse. Material quality is excellent, detailed samoeta not high, but it is worth every dollar paid for it!

Guys, one question arises - where should be the center of gravity?

Attention avec les articulations des commandes, refaites-les avec des charnires par scurit, car rcption de l'avion j'ai boug le volet de direction et celui-ci s'est dtach ! A l'emballage ils ont pos du scotch sur l'avion pour qu'il ne bouge pas dans la bote et en le retirant doucement la peinture est venue avec donc peinture refaire ! les emballeurs ont un petit poids la place du cerveau. Vite-fait= mal fait mais c'est courant en 2012. Je recommande cet avion pour le prix, la taille et il est un bon dpart pour faire quelque chose de bien!

OK here is the skinny: this is a stripped down Tian Shang, available stateside and elswhere for around $30- so HK's price is right on. This is different from the Guan Li in several ways, most obvious is the solid foam hardware tray in the Tian Shang versus the word in the Guan Li. I have only seen the Guan and have yet to fly it. As for this plane, Tian Shang has put together a solid bird park flyer that defies earthly destruction by sane pilots. I've hit trees, lines and concrete and managed to get her back in the air the next day. The burliness in design does generate negatives in flight performance and maintenance. For example, the motor is mounted on a stick (like GWS) in a recessed engine bay in the nose instead of a removable cowl. The vertical tail surfaces are incredibly thick, leading me to believe that the vertical stab is an incredible drag producer and is responsible for the nose up attitude at high speeds.

I have wrecked this plane 3 times all nose in. The last time into a metal roof and this is the first time I have even needed glue to put it back together. By far the most indestructible foamy I have ever owned. Flys great am buying another so mine will look pretty again

I did add metal tubes for rudder and elevator rods, and replace back wheels. glued on front wheels, and added an earth magnet to canopy, built my own engine mount firewall from wood attached with zip ties so I can still remove the engine and to protect the wood from shattering. and lastly added matal to secure up the elevator so both sides moved evenly. then added lights to fly at night... thus the latest crash lol

Terrific flier this one. Tracks real nice in the air and is very forgiving. Easy to hand launch and belly lands well. Mine runs a T 3536 1250kv, 10x7 prop, 40A speedie and 2200/3 battery. Weighs close to 900g but carries this weight really well. Unlimited vertical but still flies nicely at scale speeds. Only downside is that is a bit ugly in stock form. I did a lot of mods to get it looking better and am very glad I did too, because this is such a rewarding plane to fly. See winter camo pics under files tab.
Anyone looking for a base project to start from can't go past this gem.
