Yup lol, it rather bisarly rolled violently to the left whilst on a wide open pass, It was pretty badly squached but being EPO i tryed the boiling water trick and to both mine and Leighs amasment it regained its shape within secounds!

So its all back in one peice all servos working corectly and RX changed!

Ouch....what Rx was in it ?

AR5000 new one, I hate these RX`s 3 planes have gone in with them so i will buy no more!

M

it's not the receiver it's the transmitter or maybe the person transmitting the signal to the transmitter

Must say I have 6 of these in various models now, and never had single glitch.
The only spekky Rx I have ever had an issue with was a parkfly range 6100e and that was down to aerial orientation - now cured by positioning the Rx aerial in slightly different orientation in the model.

Tim, NOT true, you spanked my Xeno and my Easyglider and both had them!

Ah yes - but the fault was not with the receivers was it

that's exactly what I was thinking

LOL I KNOW what you were thinking Badham!

it's dangerous as well

Lol all very funney!

Just got back in and maybe it wasnt the RX after all, we powered up the beast and there seems to be an internitant fault with the Ali Servo! Problem solved

Anyway better news for the Hunter MK2, its had its maiden in some pretty ruff wind. Leigh did the honers with the handlaunch as I couldnt be bothered to take all the strip down.

Flew well once trimed and seems abit faster than the last one (although it has the exact same fan and motor?) Landing was a breeze using the gear and full flap (again the old one didnt seem to like flap to much?)

Short vid to follow!

You're I see, don't worry we carried on without you..!!!

Maybe someone else put the latest one together..!!

Very true!

A real one the heads looking well there, probably lighter than the first one by the looks of it going, what's the white bit on the floor after it lands not a bit of my Yak I missed is it

lol, even in the wind it just "felt" better, this is the full production one were as the first was a prototype and there are some differences.

White thing was the canopy poping off lol

he popped of his white stuff on the strip!!! im no good at filming planes.

Is the centre of gravity in exaclty the same position? You might find that has a bigger effect on the handling (and top speed) of an aircraft, than a minor change to the design.....

Looks good though. I like the shape of the hunter. If only there was one that would suit a 90mm fan, and have room for about 1.2 litres of paraffin aboard.....

Andy

Flyfly have just released a 90mm Hun

As for COG is possibly abit more nose heavey but not much in it
