hobby kings hj ultimate bi-plane arf


hobby king had a nice bi plane kit for a short time.It was a foamy,and they sold maybe a dozen .But most were back ordered for months, untill they pulled it off their line of planes for some reason.My kit arrived within a week,and in good shape.The directions where ok,and the build was pretty easy.Cutting out the canopy was tricky ,as it doesnt come cut to fit!You only get one shot,so you have to cut carefully.The foam is a little brittle and easy to breake.The kit called for an 2836 brushless outrunner motor,25 amp speed controler,and a 2000mah 3 cell lipo.All of this came in the kit accept the lipo.I used a 2200mah 3cell zippy .I installed 9gram servos and my own reciever.All parts from hobbyking allso.Plane had lengh of 970mm,900 mm wingspan.On first flight ther was a vibration from motor mount.I took off motor and made a rubber gasket to damppen motor vbration.This plane flys great, and looks great flying.Not quite enough trust for hover with 9x6 prop, maybe with bigger prop.all around I love this plane ,allthough I dont fly it as much since theres no body parts available.

park zone makes some reall nice flying planes.The typhoon,the typhoon.2,the strykers,and many more.The only problem is with there ready to fly versions.The remote systems are not that good.I purchased a typhoon 2 ready to fly ,did range test that went fine.But sure enough it glitched with magor results.I bought more parts and tryed again at diferent park this time ,only to have the same thing happen again.!!I then realized the importance of a glitch free system as an investment ,to save my planes and money on crashes that werent my fault.Friends I fly with have allso had this problem who have bought ready to fly.I ended up with a spectrum DX6 system that has been great .NO glitching.So know when I crash I know its my fault.Again the best investment you can make.Vidios below show typhoon in action with specrtum system
