Build review...I have not flown it yet. No fan with the kit and a 100mm unit is not sold on this site. Now I have to add some ply to mount a 90mm unit...should atleast come with a fan. Build is a bit more difficult than you might think. No holes cut to mount the tail on, bolts are very difficult to get to..I glued and bolted my tail on. Tail servo wires are hard to route Tru the tail section...I'm taping mine outside the fuse. Mounting the wings is another tough part of the build...no holes drilled...no blind nuts installed and cannot be done unless you want to re-cover the wing! Getting to the screws to mount the front wheel assembly is difficult....it just keeps going...nothing is straight forward with this thing. Price is cheap...there are many reasons why!
Someone from HK should be responsible to build each plane before it gets sold on their site, maybe then the manufactures would fix some issues.

Well, where do I start?



Got this a few days ago, unboxed, unpacked it all from its packaging and there was no fan unit. I have contacted HK about this and they are dealing with the case. The kit is actually good quality but I wouldn't put this airframe as a first time ARTF builder. There are no wing bolt holes, no cut slots for the under carriage to slot into, the battery/ RX tray in the fuse is weak and the glue joint isn't that great. I have put new epoxy glue and strengthened the whole tray. This is still in kit for as I have not got round to building her yet. I am going to run it on 2x 4s 3000mah lipos (8s) and getting a Dr mad thrust 90mm (8s) fan. I will update review once flown. Thanks HK for the great price though!
