Mixed bag....

Nov 07, 2016

Bit of a mixed bag this one, the PNF that I got must have been a Friday afternoon rush job. I got mine together without much hassle although the booms needed sanding down to seat them properly into the holders but on my first landing, note landing, not crash, as the model slid across the grass coming to a stop, both boom holders fell off the wing, one aileron servo fell out and the elevator servo also just dropped out. On checking and repairing the model, there is basically no glue, just tiny dabs here and there. The two halves of the fuselage have also separated, causing a total strip down and re-glue. Mine weighs 1150 grams with a 4000 3s, EagleTree vector and a 600mw VTX installed, this is too much, the model tip stalls virtually without provocation, moving the c/g so far forward I've almost run out of elevator authority has had little impact. This is the first disappointment I've had from Hobbyking in many purchases, the model doesn't fly very well and was VERY poorly assembled.
