Great Plane,
it was my first plane i ever bought and i have to say, the assembly was very easy. Poorly i never got it to fly till now (it just twisted when i started the engine and crashed down :-( ), this evening i will have another test with a smaller lipo and a smaller prop then the one i used b4. Already ordered another one (this time the full set with everything in it).

Too bad I got my Parkjet with two left wings. wings as a replacement part can not be delivered. I do not want a complete set just buying the wing because then the weight would be under 500g. But HobbyKing has returned me the money immediately (for that I give it 5 crowns!) But the expensive shipping costs I paid for and can not fly parkjet which is sad.

Great fast plane this one. With the turnigy 2632 3400 kv on 3s and 4.5x4.5 prop it will be ballistic! I clocked mine at 190 km/h with rcspeedo. Just be sure that you accelerate enough on takeoff or it will hit the ground. It also flies really nice with big winds.

Here's a video of my parkjet modified: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iRFyWCGAas&feature=g-upl

Cheers!

This model suffers weakness of the canopy and front fuselage. I have found a way to stiffen and also keep canopy well seated and prevent it's loss in flight. Either side at mid-point along canopy vertically down through fuselage .. a long M2 bolt to blind nut under. With large washer under bolt head ... you can tighten down into the foam enough to have head below surface. Remove and epoxy to strengthen before putting bolt back again.
