This RC glider can be flown with or without electric motor and is probably best suited to the slope due to its 2.6Kg flying-weight. It is an imposing RC plane that is a lot of fun to fly and very, very "clean" in the air.
Stall characteristics are very benign and the flaps have very little pitch-coupling whilst producing an excellent reduction in speed for landings.
Climb rate is fantastic.
For the test flights I used a Zippy Compact 3300mAH 4S battery and a Jumper T16 transmitter with FrSky D8R receiver.
Pros:
- very high density foam means it`s strong and rigid
- no screws or glue required for assembly
- quality moldings, good hardware
- all servos and wiring pre-installed
Cons:
- battery space limited (several 4S 3200mAH batteries I tried would not fit)
- fiddly assembly (possibly due to the fact that this may not have been a production unit)
- black foam popcorns in the sun (get the white!)
- too heavy for light-air thermal soaring.
Bottom line:
This is a very fun model with an imposing size that can fly both very fast and relatively slow. It is easy to fly and would be a blast on the slope!
Disclosure: this model was provided by E Sky for review purposes.
Hello people in this video I’m going to be reviewing the holy stone HS 450 with a whole lot of features obstacle avoidance and lots of other fun features
