Odd. I've got a HK Skyartec Cessna (it was the earlier model without the flaps) and it's been perfect out of the box (albeit, I've never used the landing gear, which did look too flimsy to be useful). One of the few HK models I've bought that have been.
Heck, even the original electrics worked ok - only thing I've swapped out were the servos (and only then because it is now in service as a UAV, and the 915Mhz telemetry module was causing the stock servos to chatter).
Bought it as my first trainer, but ended up learning on a PZ Stinson. When I first flew the Cessna, I was surprised at how well behaved it was. No issues with asymmetric trim - all surfaces nice and level in the trimmed state.
Guess it's just luck of the draw sometimes...
