Martin Harris - Moderator Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 If it flies anywhere near as well as the HobbyKing 70mm HK (Lander) Hunter then it should look as good in the air as in the photo. I maidened mine on Thursday and flew it again today and it goes like the proverbial off a shovel - and carves through rough air like it's on rails with really positive comments from observers. My only reservation (I don't know if it applies to your version) is the glue used by HK doesn't inspire confidence. One undercarriage leg pulled the mounting blocks out on an initial fast taxi run (all the main gear blocks pulled away from the foam on checking them leaving little (and in one case) no foam attached to the glue. After today's session, the nosegear mounting plate has loosened (but the landing wasn't one I was too proud of) so I'll forgive that one. More worrying was the loose flap horn that I found afterwards - again detached without taking any foam with the glue.

Malcolm - coolwind.co.uk Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Pete, Good Job, looks great Is that the HK EPO or Composite Hunter? Thanks Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete taylor Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi Malcolm and thanks. It's the epo one aka Fly Fly and now being produced in plain white (hurrah!) with a few mods by Jepe. It does build into a nice model with a bit of effort! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete taylor Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi Dusty, Thanks, I'm quietly pleased with it I must say! I'll get up there as soon as I can, hopefully in the week. Are you around this week at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 That's gorgous - a nice size too. I'm not normally attracted to EDF's but that could convert me! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Martin Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I've got this one on my list: I believe that it's the same FlyFly 90mm version, already painted, has sprung oleos and comes preloaded with fan and motor for £110! I'll need to repaint undersides and add decals to create the RAF version. I'll also need electric retracts. The question for you guys: Model details state 5S Lipo needed. Now, I already have a supply of 6S batteries. HK have assured me that 6S will be OK and will fit. Has anybody had experience of 6S with the standard ESC and motor in the kit?

Pete B Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Looks nice! I'm not familiar with EDF but it might be worth having a look at some of the comments on the HK Warehouse product page Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JéPé Schlosser Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 During my 19 years EDF I have not even been an active forum guy but maybe you are interested in my smart setup that I flew only 2 days ago. It was a lot of fun to fly with only 3,5 kg take off weight / glassed very strong model with 10s! 4500mAh and only 60 Amps at max throttle for looong flights and supersound! Battery were new out of the box and I know the Tiger / Lion Lipo take a flights before they reach max capacity (still about 6-7 minutes were possible in first flight). Very close to real sound (also caused accidentally by cheater hole). The Mobius cam did not catch the vertical performance and big loops..must improve my headcam.

Nigel Dell Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Good to see you here Jean-Paul That Hunter is cracking! You have done great things with these foamies I must visit when I am next there, I feel the need of something new! Or of course I could just order one and let the Postie do the work I still have the Skyhawk I got from you way back! You mention 3D printing parts, we have one at work and currently are doing parts for Airbus, I am also putting it to good use myself All the best Nige.
