Awesome!

I bought this plane on sale for $50 and being so cheap, I didn't expect much. I was shocked how well it flew stock. I was skeptical at butt joining the wings to the fuselage with no spar, but after doing a full throttle dive and an abrupt full elevator pull, I could not get the wings to fail. This plane tracks very well and flies great all around. I would definitely recommend this.

Scored this for $50 - what an epic plane!

Got this in the month long HK sale. Nice quick arrival. Went together really easily. Usual CG issues as everyone reports (HK you should update the manual!) so much foam carving to fit the battery. Flew stock setup with 4s 1000 - not sure if ESC can handle it or not but no smoke so far... This thing shifts!! Over 150kmh on GPS speedo, more than fast enough for me as it disappears very quickly at this size! It's not EFXtra awesome but so much fun and at that price no tears when it eventually hits the ground.

take with motor but not PNF

Very much fun, but building the PNF is a bit of a hassle as you have to take it apart first in order to cut out foam in the interior that blocks the battery from getting in the right position to get the COG right. Another PNF problem is you have to cut your way throught the foam to get to the motor screws in order to fix them right; they are prone to trembling loose.

Very easy model to build and fly. Up to 8 minutes flight time on a 1300mAh 3S 25c battery. Laminated my model and now it is nearly indestructible! Excellent purchase for the price!

This plane is a little beauty when you get the COG correctly. In order to get the COG right, I cut out the foam section covering the ESC and pulled everything as far back as possible, I then replaced the foam, raising it slightly to allow ventilation and cooling of the ESC and motor. I also carved out some of the foam in the fuselage to allow the battery to sit further back. The only change I will make to this going forward is to add a folding prop.

Seems like a good deal, everything in order and worked. Flew well, fast and tracked well. Had to do some fairly major surgery to get the 1300 mah battery far enough back in fuselage to get proper cg. On this model you need correct cg for hand launch. Don't buy if you are not good at hand launch. I crashed about half the time and had to do several repairs. I think it launches a bit easier at 3/4 throttle. Lost it due to a faulty rx, and since it had already been patched up several times due to bad hand launches, I will not try to repair again. Not sure why this review comes in as "5 crowns" when I gave it four on all ratings (??)
