Flying with 10 amp plush ESC, 500 mAh Zippy compact lipo's and using HXT500 servos.

Very well packaged. Carbon rods have stickers attached giving their length. The full colour manual clearly shows where each rod needs to go so you can't go wrong. Mine needed 20 grams of lead in the nose to balance to recommended CG, but I may remove some lead when I get more into 3D.

Only reason I've given it four stars for quality was mine was missing the landing gear baffles. No big deal and it looks fine without them.

Highly recommended.

Just received it today.

Package is clearly serioux. All is carefully packed and tape to the box. If the plane is broken, then it means that the box is broken to. Building manual, propeler, Motor, building hardware (rods, wire...)



A very nice plane I can't wait to put it the air.

Nice little plane but build is not for a beginner. A little tricky and fiddly and instructions could have used a few extra detailed steps.

I purchased this model the same time I bought the MXS. It came well packaged, no broken or missing parts. Assembly was straight forward and a lot easier than the MXS. I used foam safe CA on this model compared to 5 min epoxy on the MXS. I used the same set up as the previous model, Turnigy 1800 servo 3 pack, 10A HK ESC and a 370 Nanotech 2s battery. The pull/pull set up for the elevator and rudder is a bit tricky, but is a good system once it is rigged. This kit is much better made than the MXS. Depron is thicker and isn't as fragile. The covering is still loose fitting. Do not try to iron out the looseness it will warp any part you try it on. Run up was very nice, no evil noises or malfunctions. Power was perfect for the model, will hover just over 1/2 throttle. Flying couldn't have been easier. It is slightly larger and heavier than the MXS, but wouldn't recommend flying outside if there is much of a breeze. Inside it flew briliantly. Only very minor trim was required and slow flying was very easy. I was very comfortable with it after only a couple of flights. I didn't have any issues with it so far. I'd recommend this model over the MXS, but I like them both, thanks again Hobbyking...

magnifique avion indoor, tres joli avec son entoillage transparent.. la legerete n'est pas transcendante car il faut compenser le manque de matiere par du carbone. mais tres reussi cote esthtique !!! et vol vraiment bien...

Great indoor plane flys very well and slow without damping boards. The film covering needed checking over as it had lifted on the hinged surface. With a iron turned down to 10pcnt quick test on a edge run the iron over the lifted surface to stick the film down again. I ran the iron over the leading edges to be 100pcnt. Great job Hobby King used all reconvened parts in purchase 192grs with battery.
