not happy Jan.

Oct 31, 2021

wow... good looking but thats where is finished. motor was partly seized, removed striped and cleaned the extra glue from it, then one UC mounting block was loose removed and re glued that, setting up the flaps and had so much freeplay in the horn it was going to flutter, break glue to get the servo arm out. the one of the servo arms were in the wrong position no vertical for the ailerons. remove that one. threads striped in the servo shaft. fit a bigger screw, Ok shes ready.
1st flight 2.2A 4 cell did a full ground run and could smell a electrical burn ok prob the motor windings getting a bit warm from full power. back off its ok. started the roll out only to see smoke from the motor then it locked up with more fancy smoke.....
whats happend the the quality control? is that why they were on special. what a waste of money.

Great Flyer

Oct 23, 2021

First 2 flights were uneventful after reading about torque roll/yaw on takeoff. Feeding the power in slowly, a bit of throttle to rudder mix, and it gets airborne without much drama. Only a little trimming required and very little effect from flaps. Only flying 3S ATM which is nice & scale, but would be better on 4. Post-flight, gear legs needed grubscrews re-tightened & Locitited in. Put better non-slip material in the battery tray. Overall really pleased - super scale looking and flys very nicely

Great value with discounted price & voucher

Yet to fly, but certainly a great looking model. All servos/retracts working well. Couple of disappointments are the misaligned tailwheel (easily fixed) and the poor sand filter extension moulding, otherwise the fit and finish is very nice. Nice big battery/receiver compartment and easy to balance with the recommended battery. Some errors in the downloaded instructions - decals are all one type as are the wing bolts

my only complaint with this model is the servo units , the servos used are in my opinion of poor quality , the elevator servo in the model I purchased burnt itself out while I was setting the travels , fortunately on the work bench and not in flight . I have replaced both the elevator and rudder servos with better quality metal gear units . I would rather pay a little extra to have good quality electronic components , especially for the control surfaces , if the elevator servo had failed during flight it would have been game over . The retractable undercarriage not only looks good but works very well , and the bomb drop mechanism also works very well and adds to the overall scale look of the model , as do the 3 position flaps , over all I'm very happy with it , apart from the poor quality servos , hopefully DuraFly will use better quality units in future ? just a suggestion
