Interesting I clicked on the link to look at the plane and left my
browser there. A few minutes later a pop up with a one time offer
of $122.25 instead of 131.66 showed up so if you want to buy
something from HobbyKing you may want to try to leave your browser
on it for a while :)<br>

<div>I got one this past week. Yeah shipping was ridiculous.
But the plane is very nice. Well packed and protected. Easy
to put together, took about 45 minutes. Even comes with an
exact Chinese copy of an APC prop. Only way to tell it's fake
is it has a China hobby name on the hub instead of APC.</div>

<div>The think I like about this is that the control surfaces
are pattern sized, not 3D sized. I haven't hooked up a
receiver yet, so don't know how good the servos are. But
Solar digitals in this size are about $7 apiece, and they have
very good resolution. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a couple of 2200 3s packs I will try, and I ordered
a couple of 4s packs. The manual says 3s, but the HK page
says 3s or 4s. Battery compartment seems adequate for light
4s packs. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>No instructions for the ESC. They do tell you how to turn
off the brake should you turn it on, but nothing about setting
end points, etc. It isn't labeled with a HK sticker, so I
don't know what it is. Guess I'll do some online searching.

<div>Looking forward to flying it, but weather and the F3P Team
Trial this weekend are conspiring against me.</div>
