The assembly went completely OK but when I tried to run the propellers, the right side worked correctly but the left propeller just barely moved. I wound the rubber bands a couple of more times like the instruction recommended but the problem is still there. It seems like the gear in the center of the gearbox for the left propeller is not engaging or the shaft from the left propeller is slipping. I did not try fly the airplane because of this problem.

I made out an RMA and I asked them to send me replacement gearbox and propeller assembly. If that was not available, I asked them to send a replacement of the entire plane, that actually works. Since the airplane is already assembled it would not make sense to try to dis-assemble it and send it back. As of now, HK has not responded to the RMA.

I sure they will just make excuses and ask for more information. I already told them that I do not have any way to take a video of the problem but I sent them still pictures showing the entire aircraft and that its in completely new condition.

When is HK going to actually have some type of real Customer Service ? ? ? Currently, anytime I have tried to contact them, they just make it almost impossible to resolve problems.

Just recieved mine from West Coast Whs. Will try for a conversion, biggest question at the moment is brushed or brushless. Will the extra weight of the ESC's cancel out the power advantage. May have to try both ways to settle the question. At last some easy to assemble models small enough to store in retirement lodging.

Just put mine together NP and tried to fly it. I say tried. After extensive checking of the model I realised the props are in back to front and are pushing not pulling. The model looks great just the props are wrong

Wow what a great kit easy to put together.. comprehensive glossy instructions . It even fly's good straight from the box. I am thinking it flew just as good when parcel force were chucking it about before its delivery although out of hobbkings hands .
Now to make this rc with some micro servos . For very little money this will bring your kids or nephews hours of fun ;*)

To start this thing is pretty cool, very nice looking and after attaching a dime to a rudder it flies straight.

Then the bad, not sure how but both that I ordered seemed to have all plastic bits curved the same direction so when built they are slightly twisted. Doesn't effect anything but looks so not real worried but for someone wanting this as nice scale replica you may be disappointed

Still like them, still very cool little planes
