Hey man- where are you located? Want to do some dogfighting? If you like the Hawksky, we have some GREAT mods for turning it into a wacked fighter! Check our videos (killerplanes) and drop me a line- time for some FUN!! Love the Hawksky for the canopy mounted cameras! (PS- we're opening soon at killerplanes on the web)
@MontagHeidi I almost exclusively use ailerons for all my turns, and with the upward curving wing-tips it takes a good 4-5 seconds to complete a roll, quite slowly even at full deflection and trying to snap-roll it with rudder.
Hi ive herd that the receiver it come with has no range is it possoble to attach a antena to it to give it range or am i gunna have to buy a hole new reciever?
@flyerman967 I think the radio is fine as long as your batteries are fresh. If you have interference issues, try flying away from cities. A big field outside of town would be best
Depends on how you fly. Full throttle the whole time will yield about 6 minutes flight time. I like to gain altitude then turn off the motor and glide around. I can stretch flight times to over 10 minutes.
No electrical or structural problems, but the pushrods that came with mine were just barely long enough to reach the clevises. I managed to get them to reach, torqued the screws down as tight as I could, and coated the whole thing in epoxy. The servos needed to be re-glued in the sides too. My wings fit snugly still. No velcro needed. Thanks for watching!
Yes, I believe your brother would have no problem with this one. As long as he is easy on the sticks and knows the basics. It really does not want to roll inverted on the stock transmitter, so he should be fine.
you are nere oak harbor wa state i know that place hahahahahahcool
