Perfect small racer, just change propeller for 6.5x7.5, neutral speed 200 km/h, best 242 km/h with some wind to help and little down slope ;o). Good launch carracteritics, and nice landing with up ailerons to slow down with some down elevator mixe. Very pleasant to fly, straight on rails even during heavy turns. 2.5 minutes full throttle and 2200 mA 4s bat 25% left .

nice racer

May 05, 2022

I'm very happy with this model, I fly it only with 4S. For a racer hand launch is not so critical, set a good trust 3/4 throttle with 4S, launch at 30° to 45° and it's ok. I prefer to hand launch myself to have a better filling of the trust. I put a GPS inside, made some test with different propelers. I get 222 km/h on a flat line with some wind help but not so much perhaps 15 km/h and an APC 6.5x7.5.
The plane is on a rail at any speed, as well as in turn. Landing speed is also ok with CG near 55mm

Flies on rails

Jan 15, 2022

This thing flies on rails, and it is very fast. The actual foam bits of the plane are very good quality, but the magnets on the motors seem to be prone to coming loose.

Not worth the money, don’t buy.

Oct 30, 2021

Watched the video and read all the literature on this plane, lots of info from batteries to slope flying and thought it looked like a cool plane to get, boy was I wrong. Managed to get it in the air and all was fine, until I came in to land on its belly, it took nearly 60 feet before it stopped, which I was half expecting but what I wasn’t expecting was how much dirt and debri had compacted into the motor, locking it up solid, so took it home and disassembled it to remove all the dirt. 2 hours later it was back together and flying again, landed and the same thing happened again. Called H/K and got nowhere, why wasn’t it mentioned in the literature, then I wouldn’t have purchased it, it shows it landing on grass but no mention of not being any good on loose surfaces, I live in the high desert so grassy fields are a rarity and so is customer service at H/K, needless to say that’s the last plane I buy from them.

Unstable - cannot launch

Oct 28, 2021

Bought this plane thinking it would be a great model to use at home since I live in the country and have lots of empty field from my backyard. The plane took a month to get. Got it all ready to fly, had a 3S 2200 in there. The package came with no instruction or manual. Managed to get the plane together well. Cannot hand launch it. The first try the plane left roll really quickly and crashed 15 feet in front of me. Broke the propeller. Changed the propeller and 10 min later hand launch it again. This time I gave it more throttle and it sort of took off….I thought I had it this time and then it started to act erratically doing roll on its own …. The plane was uncontrollable…. And then it pitched nose down hard and crashed again. This time the wings broke, the tail broke and the prop broke again. Cannot fly. I have been flying plane and helicopter for more than 10 years, never came across such an unstable platform. I do not recommend this product. I will nonetheless fix it and keep a tally on how much money I will need to spend to get this thing to fly. A pet project of mine… until I give up. Really dissatisfied.

Economical adrenaline pump

Oct 14, 2021

This plane will fly well at any speed. Set the CG at neutral, launch at 30 degrees up angle with 3/4 throttle to cut down on torque roll to left. The neutral CG will allow slow nose high landings. For the faint of heart, get the Motion RC Havok. It is easier to launch but otherwise equal.
