unpacked and scrutinized all parts, i have to give this 99% + . covering perfect , no twists or faults evident in fuselage , wings or horizontal stab and tailplane . cowel paint perfect along with fitment . canopy excellent . the only criticism is it doesn't come with a pilot . and where the wings fit into the side of the fuselarge outer frame , there is clearance all around the wing surface to the tune of about 3 mm , i'm sure this would create drag and air vortex's .
IT'S daunting to start the build as i don't have any parts other than the frame kit at this stage . but pretty sure as far as arf's go , the build will be quite simple . fingers crossed . still trying to decide on motors SK3 63-74 192KV 10-12S OR ROTOMAX 1.60, 231KV 10-12S , i want to use large props 20x10 , 19x10, 19x12, 21x8, how does hobby in the hills go with big prop stock ? price idea ??? props arent readily available at HK , in all sizes , 2ndly there are electric lightwood and sport props which vary in weight , and 3rdly apc props arent available at HK . i'll bed fitting larger wheels as well . interesting to note , that some people are flying these on 6s with 380kv motors , and it really is a tough decision adding an extra battery for 12S AND AN EXTRA 400GRMS OF MOTOR . . the plane will be 1kg heavier ( 20%) because of 12 S , spinning at the same rpm too , with a bigger prop though . thats the thing with custom building , there aint no such thing when its a 1st attempt build . even plug choices , i like xt60 plugs but they are only rated at 60 amps , so it's t plugs or bullet connectors , also little thingds like BEC battery charge plugs for charging , need to purchase all this stuff , and motor balancer etc etc . a lot of forthought needs to go into it . having a RANT . need to take my own advice .
