Great Aircraft, Medium Quality

Aug 26, 2024

First of all it is a great looking and also very good flying aircraft.
I got some quality issues with this plane. One engine was not working because of a poorly soldered connection. The plastic bags of the pushrods were labelled wrong. And you definitly have to remove the landing gear to secure all the wiring in the fuselage.
All in all a nice aircraft, but you have to make sure to check everything.

Finally got it

Oct 05, 2022

Well after the item went to both Iraq warzone and Qatar for tourism it finally showed up here at the army base. Luckily after it arrived in Iraq warzone it was FINALLY scanned in as no one knew it was even in transit from America until it’s scanning for OUTBOUND mail from Iraq to go to Qatar. Love the details on the plane the packaging also protected it because there was a puncture of the double packed cardboard box. No contents were affected. All in all a quality purchase. Just please HobbyKing if we are going to pay upwards of $180-$200 USD for shipping please allow us to choose someone who for that price can effectively do the right job. FedEx, DHL, Passenger Pigeon etc, but USPS really isn’t the one anymore.

absolutely amazing model

Oct 01, 2022

i was always waiting to find a multi-engine that would be right up my alley and this was the one after seeing the petrincic bros fly theirs.
i have like 99% great things to say, this thing flies wonderful and i fly this scale, so i appreciate the dual flaps to help it REALLY slow down. i actually fly mine on 3s power rather than the recommended 4s because i have no desire to go vertical and have all that power.
when my model shipped, the props were damaged - they LOOK stunning but the molded in spinners were crumbling away. so i do not know if this was an open box or not, but hobbyking thankfully was quick to send me replacement propellers from the V1 hercules and these spinners appear to be made of a much better plastic. the v2 ones, at least that i had, were almost rubbery feeling. plus no screws were included, so thankfully when HK sent the v1 props, they also sent new prop bolts as well.
my only other complaint is i paid $400 for this, and just a few weeks later HK has dropped the price to $300... so yeah, that's a bummer, but as a model- i cannot recommend it enough. avios and HK really hit a home run with this!
flies for 6 mins on a 3s 2200mah, on my futaba FASST setup with 8 channel RX and stock xt60 connectors.

Very well done

I found this model to be a well done and worthwhile purchase. Had a few 'hick ups', but nothing major. Very pleased with the finished product. Fly's great, super to look at, and demands attention! Follow the directions to assemble and don't get 'ham fisted' with it, and you won't have any problems.

super plane and great price

Delivery was only a couple of days. Packing great with not even a nick. Graphics all done. Went together easily. The ramp set up was a challenge but I figured it out. Flies scale.

Great value

Jun 02, 2022

Pros: Easy to assemble at field thanks to automatic connections when wings are slid into place. Inexpenaive battery results in flight times over 5 minutes with 3.75 - 3.8 volts per cell after landing. Easy to land. Very realistic in air. Lots of fun to fly. Flies very well at low throttle settings. Can open cargo door in flight without much change in trim.
Cons: control board must be well secured in fuse, otherwise connections can pull lose. Happened to me with the gear:)
