The best you can get

Mar 15, 2018

Pros:
- easy to put together
- Tons of space to fit all your gear, batteries, etc
- Flies amazing, floats thanks to its flaps, if configured properly
Cons:
- foam is soft and flimsy - careful when putting it together. I simply laminated it in a single piece ;)

NOT GOOD for beginners

Nov 23, 2017

I'm a beginner and this plane give me some headaches that I would not recommend if you're a beginner. Foam is very cheap and flimsy and breaks easily. If you're experienced and already have a lot of FPV stuff, I'd say go for it.

Nice Sailplane, Powerful motor, Long flight times with 3.3hr battery nice aileron/elevator cruising banking.. flaps work great.. EPO is EPO..

Sep 11, 2017

The plane flies great! With a 3.3amp hr battery this bird can fly for an 45 minutes or more!
It looks great in the air. When you build it, make sure you buy yourself a balance tool and locate the battery in it's proper spot because an airplane that is tail heavt only flies once.
A member at the R/C club I belong to balanced my CloudSurfer for me. If you are using the 3.3amp turnigy lipo sold here the battery should mount all the way up front. Also if you don't have any fpv equipment during the maiden flight.. like me you will need to add lead to the nose to balance it out. The assembly directions for configuring the r/c channels is wrong for anyone who flies USA mode 2. The elevator and alerons are reveresed. It's no biggie. I also used channel 7 for the flaps and mixed channel 6 so I can use a knob on my radio to tweek the flaps. It really flies well.. You can easily steer the bird with alierons only.. I have not had to use the rudder. The wings have stayed in place even during flights with hard banking. My last flight I did run into an issue. I banked hard into a thermal... cut the motor, banked and gave the elevator some down.. went into a dive as planned.. but I got too close to the top of the corn in a corn field, paniced.. accelarated too hard whild banking and climbing away.. I ended up plowing into the corn field. The only damage was the top of the fusealage wing assembly area. This are is the Cloudsurfers weak spot. The crash was not hard enough to damage the fuesalge, but the wings on impact ripped out of the fuesalage. The EPO glue I purchased from Hobbyking appears to be great... I'll fly it again next Saturday.
It is a fun plane to fly.

recu le mien sans problème, assemblage trés facile ,j ai installé une batterie graphene 3S 4000 MAH pour le CG, qualité de vol très simple et calme, je dirais meme qu'il est gratteur comme un planeur ,premier vol avec cette batterie en temps calme de 40 minutes, je l'utilise en fpv avec une carte APM , le seul problème rencontré est l'hélice qui est mal équilibrée ,,bon vol a tous

Purchased 07-03-2017 - reviec

Mar 07, 2017

What can I say, I purchased this plane last week and the quality is so so bad and worst of all there are NO SPARES AVAILABLE FOR THIS MODEL.
1. The wings dont fit together flushly.
2. The servo holes are too big on the main wing making it a very sloppy movement.
3. The servo in the elevator holes are too small for the control rod.
The screws to attached the clevises are about 10 cm too long and protrude from the top of all the wings, they are also very sharp.
4. The rudder servo nearly rips the tail off where the throw is way to much and bends the rod to 35 degrees.
5. The foam is very bad quality and as the wings are only held together with friction, the foam on the wings is very easily dented.
6. The control surfaces are warped and do not line up properly with the wing.
7. The elevator section when screwed on is slightly twisted and does not sit straight with the fuselage.
8. This model is grey and the paint peels off very easily.
9. the horns and clevises are really small and flimsy and will very easily break with any kind of pressure.
10, its takes more that 1 x 2200 as reco by HK to balance this plane, not sure which clueless person wrote that!

BE WARNED.....

Pros:
- VERY easy to put together
- Tons of space to fit all your gear
- Flies amazing, floats even in the crapiest air

Cons:
- foam is soft and flimsy - careful when putting it together
- CAREFUL with the CG... first flight was slightly back and landing was a nightmare

If the foam were of better quality, this plane would get my 5 crowns!

Great plane just make sure you have the CG in the correct spot I needed to get a 5000mA battery to pull the CG forward. Once you get the wings on they are hard to get back off, not made to be removed after each flight for transport so you you might want to have a truck or large SUV to transport this plane to a field. Very stable in the air when you get the CG correct.

de petits ajustements au niveau du jeu dans les tringles. mettre un CG ? 75mm mais piqueur. H?lice horrible (direct poubelle pour la mienne) mais sinon un super planeur, ?a vole tout seul
