I've had the model for months now. I've just changed the motor to the mad thrust edf inrunners 6s version with a 4.75x4.75 prop. Now it's more fun than my funfighters. Make sure you UPGRADE TO A METAL CONTROL HORN on the elevator.

Auch hier wieder das Problem mit dem Material. Die Glasfiber Modelle platzen sehr schnell auf und das schon bei kleinen Stssen. Das Modell fliegt super und eigentlich wre ich auch zufrieden. Aber es kann nicht sein, dass man sich so schne Modelle bestellt, um diese in den Schrank zu stellen. Alle meine Fiberglasmodelle von Hobbyking platzen bei der kleinsten Erschtterung auf. Beim Landen ohne Fahrwerk ist das ein riesiges Problem.



Ich habe Fiberglasmodelle von anderen Herstellern, da habe ich das Problem nicht. Finde ich sehr schade!!!!!!

preis leistung ist top.man sollte starke servos nehmen da die fieberglas "scharniere"sehr steif sind-habe hitec hs 81 eingebaut.

erfreulicherweise ist das fluggewicht 830g und nicht wie angegeben.

meine combo:black tornado 3200kv mit 5,1x4,7-100A hobbywing platinum-saugt bei 3S ca.65 Ampere-bei 4S 75Ampere.schwerpunkt pat mit beiden lipos(alles 2200mah)bei 55-65mm wie angegeben.

wichtig:habe hinten noch ein luftauslaffnung reingeschnitten da keine vorhanden ist und die abwrme sich sonst staut.alles in allem ein super flitzer der balsaflgel mit schaumkern hat.

This plane is a lot of fun to fly and it has the potential, with the right powerplant and some minor attention to it construction, to be fast (125 mph range). For the money, you can't go wrong if you are on a budget and into fast prop plane. I received this plane just bit more than a month ago from the USA warehouse. It arrived well packaged with no damage. The fiberglass fuse was light, strong, and paint finish was good. The main wing is of a form core/ balsa sheeted construction which is also strong and quite capable of handling moderate speed/stresses, IMO. The only negative I found on this less than $80 USD plane, was the filmsy construction of the horizontal stab and elevator which was easily addressed by sheeting the top and bottom of both with 1/64 ply. I also added a bit of carbon fiber cloth to the bridge that joins the elevator halves to minimize the chance of the elevator halves twisting.



For anyone just getting this plane, I would suggest that you not be too aggressive with the movement on your control surfaces, or you will have your hands full just trying to get the plane back on the ground in one piece. The rates I used for the ailerons were 1/8" low, 3/16" med, 1/4" high. The same rates were applied to the elevator. The plane general flown with the ailerons on low rate and the elevator at med rates. IMO, it's a good plane for the money.

Very nice plane for its price. I changed to no rudder and my elevetor to one solid carbon piece and added an internal clevis/pushrod (like the foam 620mm rarebear) for more strength and less drag. Running gear i use is: 3s 2200mah 6x4 and or 4s 1800mah 5x5 3200kv 45/60amp.

Top model. I am using an NTM Prop Drive 35-36A 1400kv motor (just fits!, gotta drill new holes in the firewall though, and jam some CA in the crack that will form around the circumference of the firewall after your first flight with this extreme setup). My prop is APC style 8x4, battery is thunderpower 1300MaH 65C 4cell, 55amp turnigy trust speedie. Battery and speedie are only just warm with this setup. Flys very fast, 200kmh I would estimate. Glides well into landing, unlimited vertical even with a zippy flight max 2200MaH 20c 3 cell. Lots of fun, looks great in the air. Cut the motor and listen to the vortices as it flys overhead. Very impressed. Great model.
