Thanks to my flying buddy, Bill, a competition Pattern Aerobatics pilot who helped with this review. And thanks to Banggood for providing the airplane for review.
This review is in three parts:
Part 1: Unboxing and Indoor Maiden ( • HK A-430 Review - Part... )
Part 2: Modes and Transmitter Instructions ( • HK A-430 Review - Part... )
Part 3: Outdoor Flight (this video)
The HK A-430 can be flown in one of two stabilized modes: 6G - full stabilization that allows no acrobatics, and 3D - partial stabilization that allows acrobatics (including rolls, loops, and inverted flight).
Bottom Line: The HK A-430 is a capable little plane that is very suitable for beginners flying outdoors in 6G mode. In the hands of a capable pilot flying in 3D mode, it is a speedy little airplane that can do most of the maneuvers that bigger airplanes can do.
Pros:
- Handles wind extremely well in 6G mode
- Flight time in excess of 10 minutes with 300mah 2s lipo
- Light flying weight of 83 grams
- Transmitter has surprising number of features for a RTF kit
- Very Sturdy in most crashes
- Take-off/Landing gear works well on rough surfaces
Cons:
- Mistakes/omissions in "Quick Start" user manual
- Not suitable for indoor flight despite light weight, especially for beginners
- Nose susceptible to breaking in direct, nose-first crashes
- Odd elevator behavior in 6G mode
- European-only charger adapter
