Vol très bien, stable

Apr 30, 2017

Avec une 4S 4500 Mah et une gopro à l'avant, vol sans aucun soucis. Il faut juste reculer la batterie au maximum afin d'avoir un bon centrage.

Big semi glider, but poor quality

Apr 27, 2017

Foam is very soft and get dented very easily.
You need to fix the control surfaces to the plane with tape, as the foam link is very weak and will break very easy..
The Nylon Cleavis that comes with the model should be thrown out Asap, as they are of very poor quality.

But It looks great, and cant wait to fly it.

Très bon avion pour son prix

Mar 11, 2017

Avion facile à monter (peu de collage à faire), il y a beaucoup de place pour de l'équipement, le moteur est suffisamment puissant pour voler confortablement mais pas au point de monter à la verticale non plus (en 3S en tout cas), la qualité de l'ensemble est bonne, l'avion est très stable en vol.
Pour résumer:

Points positifs:
-Qualité de construction
-Beaucoup de place
-Plane très bien

Points négatifs:
-Servos qui ne reviennent pas toujours au neutre (léger décalage sur les gouvernes par rapport au neutre)
-Roue placée un peu trop en arrière (c'est la mousse du fuselage qui frotte les plus souvent à l’atterrissage).

Voilà, je recommande fortement cet avion.

"skewed" off to one side motors

Nov 13, 2016

Hay BJRN I would assume you know the motor is supposed to be "skewed" off to one side to counter act for the prop... IE it does not point straight back.

I purchased the product from HK and got it about 1 week later (EU-Warehouse). Unfortunately the motor mount is totally screwed up. Its super skewed so that i dont even need to put the whole plane together. I Dont know who checks the products before shipping...The plane itself looks good, much space to play around. Just need a fitting motor mount. Hope HK will care about its customers.

Very good plane specially for FPV. Easy to takeoff, fly and land. Stable and glides well without power. Lots of room for gear and batteries, carries weight very well. Stock setup seems to be good and pretty fast too, almost 100km/h. Recommended CG is good.

My setup:
Stock Sky Eye
Turnigy TGY-i10 RX(and TX)
Skyzone 200mw video tx
Arkbird autopilot with GPS
Turnigy nano-tech 3000mah 25-50C (Upgrading to 5200mah EASELY!)
Sony 1/3 inch CCD cam for Arkbird
Turnigy Actioncam or Hobbyking Wing cam or both for HD video

received my Sky eye last week. put my dragonlink and 1.3 gear with dosd in it and it flies great. it's like a larger bixler or floater jet. I read some negative reviews before buying this, people complaining about tip stalls and such, but I can tell you it handles very tame, lands smoothly (especially with flaps deployed about 30 degrees), and has tons of rooms for gear/batteries. I picked this plane because it is inexpensive for a PNF plane and is very large. I highly recommend it. the esc and servos have held up great. it's awesome, you won't find a better deal for an fpv plane this size. why spend hundreds of dollars for a similar sized plane which isn't ready to fly and still requires electronics? I flew this 5.5 miles away (11 round trip) on a 5000 mah battery with only 2800 consumed by the time I landed.

This is my first plane and I'm really not deceive by it. I did a lot of hard landing with it and it still fly perfectly (with of course much more glue and tape:-P)
I really recommend this plane for FPV platform. Yes the dome will get scratch but I prefer that to my camera! Some people have complaint about sun glare on the dome, but it didn't affect me at all. I've replace the motor with a turnigy sk3 3536 1200kv (had to modify the mount) and put a bigger 9x7 prop. Fly like a charm! For bigger prop and motor, there is an aluminium mount available online.
My complete setup is:
- turnigy 9x transmitter with Frsky XJT and L9R rx
- arkbird autopilot OSD
- vtx: ts58500, vrx: T832 with spironet antenna (I also use an helical 7 turn)
- quanum V2 goggle
- camera: sony effio-v and mobius for recording (mount on canopy)

Maiden fpv today. I dont think my 2200mah was heavy enough, she drifted all over the place even though the balance was well forward. It has plenty of power to fly well it doesnt need more, but it would be nice to have extra torque to pull out before the trees, if you glide past your runway. It glides really very well, and approach must be low as you can or it will overshoot. Although i havent tried flaps yet, i bet thats why this model has flaps, to get it down sooner.
