Great 3D Trainer.

Awesome plane! However, if your a beginner I suggest you get an epp or epo because you can break it if handeled incorrectly during build & transporting is a nightmere when you have other planes or helis near it. Great orientation trainer because of how slow it can fly. Very agile plane in the sky to get out of those sticky situations. Just be mindful it is Depron however when I repair it I use 3mm epp which makes it stronger than original so it does break else were. Great Plane! Good value as it comes with a motor so you can use old servo's etc that you got lying around doing notthing. 4 stars on quality only becuase of the depron.

déception sur la qualité

inutilisable, depron de très mauvaise qualité, cassant comme du verre.
Quel est l'indication pour le centrage.

Bought one of these, arrived quickly and it looked nice while in the box but it's virtually unusable as the black paint used has "eaten" its way almost right through the depron on the ailerons and wings. Similar erosion effect everywhere the black paint's been used. Pity. HK don't seem keen to reply to my enquiry about it either.

Wow, this is a real nice plane, very simple to build as long as you have a big, flat surface to build on. All the bits are there to finish it off, including lots of Z bends,CF rod, horns and shrink tubing. Do Not use the supplied Velcro, the glue doesn't stick to the Embossing on the Foam, YMMV. She Flies exactly like one would hope, Like it's on RAILS! total control in any position, slow climbed to hover and it just hung there, and slow rolled with no input, very nice. I don't have video yet, but if you can fly 3D and you want to try a nice F3P Patternship, check this out, cheap and Fun as heck,
Bob

I have recently finished building this plane and can say that it is quite enjoyable to fly. The build itself took 7 hours. That is from receiving the package to completely built. It arrives in pieces and each need to be taped and glued together. The carbon rod ends also sit inside the foam without any real backing to give them support so expect them to fall out of place pretty much every flight. The foam is especially soft which is good for the weight but means that it will flex pretty badly when picking it up for launch. I didn't bother putting the wheels on as they look way too flimsy for anything except a concrete runway which I would not recommend flying over due to the weakness of the plane if you crash.
In terms of flying it works extremely well, handling all the 3d moves i've tried. Compared to the Mini Saturn we have at home it lacks the build quality but handles 3d way better. I am using a 500mah battery, an orangerx 620 receiver with the case removed, the recommended 8x3 props and a hobby king fixed wing 10a esc. I believe using a slightly longer motor wouldn't have too much of an impact on the flight performance if you were looking to save money by buying a cheaper motor.
CA glue with kicker is essential otherwise this model would be too painful to build. Tape is also necessary for the wings.
