Great fun aircraft to fly. Better than and out performs the Zephyr.
Very slippery through the air and beautifully ridgis with the extra rod everywhere.
I recommend for intermediate flyers of which I an one.
Recommended batteries do the job of approximately 8 minutes under full power and my average flight with wind 5 - 10 knots was 20 minutes.
I power the glider to 400ft then just glide.
Very Very Relaxing.

It took me an hour to put this model together. As a rookie pilot I was very happy with that. The maiden flight went well with minor in air adjustments.
I set the tolerance at 30pcnt and get the hell out of here, I had a ball. it glides better than the Bixler and power flys better than most aircraft i have flown.

I would rate myself as a low intermediate pilot and I had no worries at all flying the "Dynamic - S". It is responsive, quick and more acrobatic than I thought it would be. I recommend this power glider to everyone who wants to have fun on a budget. Very good aircraft.

A nice plane to have, especially for the windy days. But I even managed to thermal a bit, not what you would expect with the wing loading of 43g. She goes vertical (chose a good battery). COG is easy to achieve thought I carved out a little to get the lighter batteries a bit more aft. Never had a v-tail b4 and was surprised about the authority of the rudder, very nice. Use it for the landing approach turn, as an aileron turn can get you a tip stall. Flaperon up helps a bit with landing but need elevator down compensation. I cut the tail servo connectors off and soldered the cables, no space. Not a beginners plain I guess, as she needs to maintain a bit of speed. But really good value for money, and you can get spares if needed. Long flights (20min on 1800mAh) are the reward for using the throttle scarcely. Neither ESC nor motor gets hot. Brake has to be set, which is easy. There are better "warm liners" (not foamies) but not for this kind of money.

Arrived with damaged wing tips yet box was not destroyed. Tried to fix the wings, but now I realise in flight that the hole wing is wraped. Trim max left, changing center point of right aileron a bit down so when motor in full speed it flights straight with trim to max left. Really a shame to deliver wraped wings. Purchased in UK, and last time I'll do that. No answer after 2 days of claim report. Not the best purchase I did. Trying to correct the right wing, but not easy to torn it back. Very unhappy with it. Prop not adapted, a 12x6.5 aeronaut gives much better performance, but need to exchange ESC as too week. A throw away plane if HK doesn't provide me new wings. Won't buy some spares as I don't know how bad these will be.

Hi. I purchased this item and it arrived damaged. I have sent photos etc to HK who are extremely slow sorting this problem out. In fact I think they are deliberately ignoring my requests for a replacement.
Not good as I am chairman of a local flying club.
Having discussed this problem at the weekend with fellow club members it seems that this is a common problem with HK customer services.
The outcome is that we are going to boycott HK until this is sorted out.

I have had several products from HK in the past, including a Dynamic S which flew well until the esc caught fire.

I never reported this to HK and just wrote it off, but now I am extremely annoyed that the replacement, that I have paid in full for is damaged and no one seems to be interested.

I will keep you updated as /when or IF I hear back from HK.

Overall I like this plane, it flies well. It's not very much of a glider but if you set up a brake on the ESC for the motor to stop and the folding props to do their job, you could glide it for a little while. The coolest thing about this plane is that.. you don't need any glue. Literally, everything just screws together, plugs in... and boom you can fly. Literally "Plug N Fly". The wing is stiff, doesn't need any reinforcements. The V-tail can be tricky to set up but once you get it it's fine. This is a good plane for intermediate pilots, it does have a bit of punch and speed to it but nothing outrageously powerful or fast. I've been flying mine on 1800 mAH 3S packs (20C) and having fun. Good plane for the price, recommended.

This plane is a smokin deal. Assembly is a piece of cake. Looks are great and when you take the first flight it is a real blast to fly. I would say this plane requires intermediate flying skills because of the speed. The main wing is very strong and the control surfaces turn this plane like a fighter jet. What a blast!

I received the Dynamic-s from Aus warehouse, no damage on the outside box, but when I opened the inside box the wing tips were creased and one had a small crack about 2cm from the very tip, it is easily fixed. I tested the motor with stock ESC and a 1250mah 3s 20c lipo to test it and on the amp meter it was pulling 26amps and that is really close to the 30 amp esc limit. So I changed it to a 40amp turnigy plush ESC and it works great. The motor is really powerful and would not have any trouble going vertical. The ailerons are a different story they were not centred at all and even using the TX sub trim its still not centred so I will have to fix that so all ways check before flight. All up the plane is good quality for the price and would be good if HK fixed these problems. I will update my review after maiden
