[unsnogworthy]

Anthony Hand flying a Kinetic in a death dive so fast that the wings shear off!

[samanthms123]

even though i was not interested in the video after looking at the title..i wanted to watch it because it was made my FLITETEST

[roberttreboranita]

that was great!

[tallguysd]

cool video love the lawn dart part!

[shelviahall]

lol - What a great retrieval video. 

[startazz]

Great job boys and your videos are the business ;-) thumbs up.

[3dfoamies]

Could you do a video showing the upgrades that Anthony did to his kinetic to make it fly so fast? Or could you post somewhere the parts that he used in the upgrades?

[HobbykingLive]

@3dfoamies Hi, we used two 2S 800mAh packs in series to make 4S. having two packs allowed us to fit it into the fuselage. The stock ESC can handle 4S and 20A+, so we just cut some holes for cooling. It did fly very quick, sadly the wings were loose from a few crashes and it couldnt handle the speed.

[simpsonjer]

great extra video! funny...

[Slayer10000000000]

LOL! That was like 3 inches into the ground! So I know the park jet has the motor and esc wired together, is it the same on this plane? Or can I just plug my own esc in to run a 3s?

[flitetest]

@Slayer10000000000 It's wired together. You can just plug in a 3S battery (with a JST connector).

[Slayer10000000000]

@flitetest Ok, thanks. Will the stock esc be enough?

[BlueBirdMartin]

Im happy i clicked the link throgh HobbyKing to be able to watch this also :)

Is there any more secret footage? So this is how Anthony tests our planes :D

[flitetest]

@flitetest

Thiese are not hiden movies though :) I have seen them a dozen of times.

I agree, its some really nice footage and flying :)

[janpetersimonsen]

Nice touch :) - unlisted kinetic retrievel video!

[flitetest]

@janpetersimonsen We thought it would be nice to give you guys a little extra ;)

[rollinolin333]

Glad to see Anthony has a sense of humor.

oh yea Anthony WHEN ARE THE SHELVES OF HK GOING TO GET RESTOCKED?

Im really trying to get into the quadcopter (nice frame by the way...oh yea out of stock) your motors, connectors, and esc's that i need for my builds are all OUT OF STOCK. I dont want to order due to the outrageouse numbers of backorders.

[TooSlow2Care]

ouch... i believe that is truly called a 'lawn dart' though break... and a good illustration. do not put these little gliders into a vertical dive.

cheers guys,

Brian

[HobbykingLive]

@TooSlow2Care I had crashed my Kenetic twice previously and had upgraded to a 4S. I was diving on full throttle at the time, so it's really no wonder that the wings folded. I do really love the Kenetic. Its one of those take anywhere planes that can be flown on 2,3 or even 4S.

[flitetest]

@HobbykingLive You might want to mention it was 2 X 2S 800mah run in series.

[StewieRc]

lol, Anthony seem like a really nice guy :D

time for Anthony to go back to manufacture and improve the wing strength

[unwired0812]

lol

[erikdravn]

Wow! Now I feel better! :)
