This plane is great, and Hands down very beautiful. My only reason for a 3 star rating is that some of the setup really is trial and error. The instructions are very poorly written and finding resources on the internet is challenging. But once assembled it is a blast to fly and brings lots of looks from those around you!

Great flyer Keep the CG as per instructions and use the rudder a lot. Would write a complete review but this website timed out on me.

Have changed my mind now I have started it! I would avoid this kit now! Received mine and found machine gun broken, but glued in, plastic part for holding in undercarriage broken, but not too serious, spar for tailplane missing, but best of all, now that I have started building it, have found it has 3 right hand wing panels and one left hand panel for the middle wings. As my kit it is out of warranty (and unfortunately I have started building it) now having quite a job getting anywhere to just get a spare wing panel.

Got my plane today. It is reasonably well packed, except I found the cowling has a thumb size crush damage caused by the heavy landing gear packed adjacent to it. The machine gun seemed to e fixed onto the fuselage in a hurry and the instrument sticker slanted! These could have been avoided by leaving them for the user to attach themselves. The skid was also broken off from the fuselage and the damage could also been avoided by leaving them for user to glue them onto the fuselage as part of the build process! For the price, I guess one cannot complain too much about the quality. I have yet to assemble and fly it, but for sure I like to repair and repaint the cowling and perhaps add some CF rods to the wing and fuselage and replace those cheap servos after some flights.

Good Model... No instructions, I just assembled mine, and had to do a lot of guess work, everything fitted perfect like Lego

The drawings showing the wire rigging left a lot to the imagination. The 30A ESC seems to be too small. The first time I ran the motor up to speed the ESC blew. Otherwise, an interesting model that looks great and hopefully will fly well once the ESC is sorted.

Test flew it today. 3200 3S battery is way too light, used a 3s 3600 and it was still tail heavy but at least could get it to fly. Extremely pitch sensitive because of the tail heavy condition but at least it flew. major headwinds too which did not help the test flight. Ailerons are effective and should have a good bit of expo on them. The rudder is super effective but will easily cause tip stall so use it carefully.
It is different which why i bought it. against a background of greenery the camo works exceptionally well so easy to lose orientation. on the other hand it is magnificent in the air so well worth the effort. If you like unusual planes this is one worth having.

Just got this kit, how could anyone resist it! Discovered some minor damage in components which could be repaired, but the carbon rod for the tailplane was missing. Complained to HK and was told I would have to return the complete kit to get a replacement rod! They must be joking! Will go to local model shop and buy some carbon spars there. Good model let down by poor quality control.
