Fliegt sensationell,Motor hat genug Kraft für senkrechte Steigflüge,mit 3S/2200 mA Lipo sind bis 7 min Flugzeit möglich,Bodenstart ist auf kurzem Gras einfach.
Landungen gelingen am besten mit etwas "Schleppgas",Strömungsabriss droht erst bei sehr geringer Geschwindigkeit.

This is a fun plane to fly. The set up was very easy. Trimming is minimal once your airborne. I painted my wing tips yellow for better visibility and I love it. Parts are easy to get from Hobby King. I recommend this Komet.

Bought this when on special at $50.00us. What a waste of money. have been caught for the last time with these "rocket ships" and Durafly models in general. This thing flys very fast and when you slow it it falls out of the sky. Mine lasted 2 circuits of the field. Only good thing was maybe salvaging the servos esc and motor ( although it has a bent shaft).
No I personally did not fly it but our club top gun did and he had big issues with it. CofG as stated is only possible with the battery way forward of where the instructions say it is and with the big hole there you can't get sufficient velcro in place to hold the battery. Not very happy as I could have thrown the $85.00 up in the air and let the wind have it..

Model arrived well packaged and required very little work to complete. Only fault I found was the rudder servo arm being well off centre. A bit of nuisance to remove arm and reset to 90 degrees but everything else went together well. I would avoid fitting attached accessories such as the cockpit aerial as they are likely to get damaged in transit and even more likely when flown. First flight was a hand launch and quite exciting to say the least. The suggested 40mm on the flying surfaces is way over the amount required. 20mm on the aileron and elevator makes it far more manageable. I used 40pcnt exponential on these surfaces as well but tastes vary. At full throttle on a 2200mah 35c she flies very fast and care is needed to keep orientation so fly fairly close until you get familiar with the shape. G of G is critical so make sure the measurements provided are adhered too. My first flying wing but no problems flying it. Overall a nice model and a change to the usual WWII types.

Die Me fliegt super. Aber Achtung, sie ist eine kleine Zicke beim Start. Am besten gelingt dieser, wenn die Höhenruder ca. 3 mm über einen Schalter nach oben gestellt werden. Dann muss man sie nur rechts halten und nach ein bis zwei Metern gerader Rollstrecke Vollgas geben. Nach ca. 30 m hebt sie dann alleine ab. Wird zuviel gezogen, saugt sich das Modell regelrecht am Boden fest, ein Start ist unmöglich!
ACHTUNG: Wie üblich sind sogar die angegebenen Minimalausschläge deutlich zu groß. Vor allem das Querruder ist sehr empfindlich.

Arrived in good shape - easy to put together, the rudder pushrod was too long - could be the servo was put in wrong way around, but a pair of pliers made the right bends in the rod and all is well. The landing gear servo rotates a plastic cover to disengage the magnet that holds the gear in place, it stuck in the disengage position - but that is ok, the gear should fall away as soon as the model clears the ground anyway. fit and finish flawless. Good job Hobby King !

Very nice plane, I fly with Turnigy 3S2200 30-40C lipo stock.
Plenty of power and easy start on grass.
Very happy with plane, CG is as in manual 205mm.
My alerons are level with wing not as in manual with a little reflex.

This is a great model !! It flies as if on rails, it's pretty fast, but slows down nicely to land while staying stable all the time. As a couple of other people said, reduce the throw on the ailerons, it's fun to see it roll very fast, but most of the time it comes out inverted or something. Put the 2200mAh 3s battery at the spot they say in the video and the CG is spot on. Don't use the CG in the manual, it's wrong !

what a plane , great packing nice box and every thing worked straight out of the box, ready to fly in 30 mins , and wow did it fly. little bit of trim and it fly's like its on rails, I now have a windy day model as 15 to 20 mph winds are not a problem for this model . I hand launch as my field is a bit rough so full power and launch up at about 45pcnt and it just pulls its self in to the air . flown this model at least 20 times in two weeks and its now going to be my fun model when ever I fly it will be with me, for 70 I might get a spear would hate not to fly while waiting for glue to dry if I crash it ..
