dragon red

A new toy



Runs on 3s at 360 watts, I'm waiting for some 1000mah batteries to arrive because my 1300s won't fit in the fuselage
1.2 metre wingspan, waiting for my batteries to arrive before I maiden it

Nice did you get that from hk as iv seen it there looks fast

Yeah it's the hk one, can't wait to see how fast it can go

reckon its the 100mph club

On hk they say 120 mph

That sucker is gonna whistle for sure, good luck on the maiden sam.

cheers

You've got to four cell & go for 700+watts. That make the little blighter shift a bit

Its supposed to be quite nippy just on 300 watts, if all goes well I have a few 2 cell 1000s I can pair up

I seriously recommend no one buys this plane... it has caused nothing but trouble.

The elevator came snapped in half, the servos are worth binning, the servo hatches for the wings don't fit, even after I replaced the wing servos with smaller ones, the elevator servo piping is incredibly sticky and makes the servo slow to react, and not centre correctly. It barely fits a 1000mah 3 cell battery, let alone a 1300 as the site recommends.

And to top it all off, the wing nut has fallen off the inside, and with out sawing the plane in half, I can't glue another one on (at least not securely enough to fasten a wing on), so it is now unusable. Was hoping to maiden it tomorrow

Sam. bring it to the Dome Monday

It's not an indoor plane but ok

It is atm

Got to say after Mike's Parkjet , I agree with Sam

Don't buy the HK kits with Servo's and acc.
The gear supplied by HK is Junk.

e.g Parkjet
servos Rubbish
Elevon Mixer . resolution is so poor its unflyable
Motor burned up
esc pending , not tested it yet

Buy their Base kits and fit your own gear

Buy cheap-buy twice! the 1st mantra I was taught by someone at the club

LoL. can't think who he means ?

I maidened it yesterday, flew reasonably well and glides very well aswell. I have replaced 2 servos with futaba digital servos, and 1 with a turnigy servo. Also glued some plywood skids to the servos so the arms don't scrape along the grass. Has the original ESC and motor in and they work really well

come on sam bit more info on its flying. is it FAST still might get one if it flys well.

Yes it is quite fast, considering it's only running on a 30A esc on 3s. It turns on a penny on full throttle. It also glides forever, I can do 5 loops with the throttle off. It's not as fast as the voodoo but it's a bit bigger and looks more stable.

If you're going to get one you need the 1000mah 3s nano-tech packs or similar, and replace all the servos with digital ones. I might be flying it this weekend if the weathers nice so you can have a look at it there.

Oh and it also goes quite slow aswell, although to land I had to cut the throttle 3/4 of a circuit before landing otherwise it would overshoot.

Sam. enable Flapperons in your Tx
and deflect both Ailerons upward, controlled by the side slider (Throttle side) on your Futaba Tx

This will allow you to control the L/D ratio on landing

im warming to it more as i have 5 1000 nanos.

paul to use flapperons you have to not have a y-lead on the ailerons i take it.
might try this on the axn glider.

No Y lead Jeff
both servos need to be on their own chns.
to allow the mixing to work

thanks Paul wasn't sure.

Paul I have added 2 mixs now for air brakes

jeff if you want one you might need to have a look at mine as the quality isn't great in some areas and it could save you some time with the build.
