The good:
This plan looks great. It fly very nicely and easily.
The bad:
First this is not a PNF as the aileron servos come with too short wires. The wires should be inserted inside the wings, so you have no chose but to add wire extensions (> 15cm each) if you want to be able to connect your servos to the RX.
The second big issue of this plan is the battery cover bay. I was very skeptic about its ability to hold the battery inside and unfortunately it proved I was right. It cost me a battery :( It could have been much worst...
The third issue is the connection between the wings and the fuselage. One hit and the plastic holding the screw will break. The whole connection design is not good either.

Superb plane! Quality wise it out-competes all other HK planes I got in all aspects (Club Trainer, Bixlers 1 & 2, Falcon Skywalker - yes I'm a newby :) but just got my bronze wings). The only downside is that there is no spares available from HK, this is the fact the first HK plane I got that has no spare parts so no flying on windy days. But I found that by investing ~ $60 in a self-leveling autopilot like the FY-40A or the arkbird tiny, crashing is very very unlikely as you can get out of a bad situation with the push of a button on your transmitter. I just have them for insurance but they have saved my planes so many times. Anyway, I'd definitely buy again.

Got this plane yesterday. The quality is good enough. I've assembled the plane during a couple of hours. There were no M4 nuts for spinner and the hole in the spinner base are drilled not in the center of it. I've replaced it with another 50mm spinner. The battery hatch looks like not reliable. I think it should be fixed more reliably.

This was very light aircraft when it was taking off on the bit cracks road. This aircraft is the best size for the beginners and it was constructed in epo foam look like real plane when it fly in the air.

Best size of scale model

Feb 06, 2014

This was the best size durable epo foam model for the beginner. I love this scale model and I had one of this model same size, and also better size for 3cell 2200mah batteries and it flew very well and landed. But I need to available parts of this model in the hobby king.

Thank you.
