I ave just come across this vid. I recently acquired one of these models from an old guy who had never flown R/C. He went into a hobby shop some time ago now out of interest & the shop owner sold him this model for flying bearing in mind he had no idea how to fly! Anyway that aside he got it assembled & went to t/off in his suburban driveway, obviously that wasn't going to end well.Never got airborne. He put it away seeing as he couldn't get it to fly (lucky him!) The shop owner told him to go see a local club for help!! he never did. A year or so latter I came across the model which essentially had been sitting in his shed for a long time looking sad a dusty not having been touched again after that first day trying to fly it. I got it home & the inside was a birds nest of wires!. I started to check everything & the motor struggles to run & hand spinning it fast as I can shows the spinner way out of balance. The gear won't retract properly, way out of sequence. The elevator servo is erratic & both flap servo gears are stripped. I called him up to get some info. he said the flaps he taped up as they fell down (stripped gears out of the box). The motor he said didn't seem to run very fast. He couldn't get the gear to retract at all. I tried but one won't move the other seems erratic. All in all a real mess of a model & very poorly designed & built. Luckily I got it cheap.

Hi Peter, I must admit that I do not have a problem with Hobbyking, I've purchased a few models from them, both Int'l and UK warehouses and this is the only one I have really had a problem with, but on even with this model they seemed prepared to help me out and attempt to resolve the problems, what their solution will be I do'nt know but I am certain this plane will not be flown in it's present state. It's a shame but it happens from time to time I guess. Mark.

Hope you were able to get some satisfaction from H-K. The flaws with this particular plane tainted it from the beginning as many on the U.S. based RCGroups can testify. It is basically a fine model corrupted by some terrible parts on occasion. The spinner is a biggie as are the retracts.

I do think that some of Hobby Kings products are absolute rubbish, my friend and i have purchased 2 Radjets and both have failed badly, when you speak to hobby King they ask you to send it back, the cost of sending this stuff back is horrendous, i have allso purchased a 1 1/6th IC car the engine just will not run it looks like the carb may be sucking in air somewhere, again it's not worth the packaging cost. Hence no more orders to Hobby king.
