HorizonRC.com Review The New ParkZone Habu EDF

You can buy or find more information regarding the Habu at this link: http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=PKZ7080
Jet airplanes are very intriguing to RC model airplane guys. We think about flying jets but normally the complexity of actually assembling one seems to take too much time. ParkZone has solved this problem. The new Habu electric ducted fan (EDF) takes only minutes to complete the final assembly before you head off to the flying field. The Habu incorporates typical ParkZone Z-Foam™ construction, resulting in a very durable, easy-to-repair airplane. But the flight performance of this model is the thing that has pilots smiling. It utilizes E-flites Delta-V 15 ducted fan and motor to provide pretty astonishing performance that most intermediate pilots can handle. At the same time, it exhibits excellent slow-speed handling making nose-high, jet-like landings your strong point at the flying field. Any way you look at it, this swept wing jet is so good-looking in the air that you will immediately start thinking that you had better add it to your collection of ParkZone models right now.

Matt Andren, ParkZone product developer for the Habu, has agreed to show us all the important details that he has built into this electric jet. Im hopeful you will be as excited as I am after watching our video. This is going to be another very popular model at flying fields everywhere.

Overall Length:43.3 in (1100 mm)

What about retracts??

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@Iamyurdaddy Retracts would be a custom installation. There's nothing that we currently carry that would be a drop-in installation.

Also Can I have details to add Jim Booker on my facebook? He's a legend.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

Head over to the HH Facebook page and ask would be my recommendation.

[RCWOZDUDE]

considering you are responding to a post horizon removed!! I'm guessing your comment is coming from a guy who works for horizon!!

[HorizonRCdotCom]

I read it as him responding to your general postings regarding the overall value. The only posting of yours I deleted was the one I messaged you about re: offensive language.

[Rcflyyer1]

Mine's comin!!! Any pointers for the maiden horizon?

[sondoe01]

Nice video! Is this hard to fly? I have a parkzone t-28d and a parkzone p-51d mustang. Do you think I could manage to fly this one?

[jademakos123]

@webOSroundup Will it fly though, Like its not gonna be a problem to use that radio right. I dont know about spending so much for the radio.

[webOSroundup]

@jademakos123 It will technically bind to that radio but we don't recommend anything below the DX6i

[jademakos123]

Horizon hobby. I have a dx5e. The 60$ transmitter. Will that be compatible with this airplane.
