Manual was not for the 3D slick HK model. Small changes, but general missing too many points.

YOu have to be creative yourself to get this baby to fly.

I installed rudder, and the "balsa" was not laser cut correctly, so one rudder side is a few degrees lower than other side :(

All in all, not worth saving money on the model, perhaps the plush ESC etc, but last time I order a plane for HK for sure.

130 dollars out the window more or less

I am assembling the 3D Slick right now. Upon arrival the box was severely dented and there were 2 big holes in it. I was afraid the plane would be ruined. When I opened the box the plane was completely intact thanks to the double boxing of HK and the filling with air bags.

The quality is perfect. Be aware that it is a very light wooden structure so crashes won't be forgiven.

I have an issue though with the by HK recommended HK-922MG servo's. They are too small and fall through the servo holes. Luckily, I had some spare Hitec HS-80MG servo's that fit just fine.

Another issue is the predrilled holes for the motor. They are not centered on the motor plate but way out of center to the right when you look at the plate. Is it supposed to be like this and in case it is, what is the reason for that ?

I hope to receive an answer for this issue.
