Hobby King bits arrived

Parcel has finally arrived in UK ( almost 15 weeks ) and I have been clobbered for tax etc. Luckily HK didnt declare full value, so total extra cost was 29.85. As approx half the items are mine, and the other half various other club members so Ive adjusted the price of the Spekky clone receivers, and the Vapor cells to re-coup money towards these costs.
Rx units now £13 each ( was £12 ) and Vapor cells £3 each ( was £2.50 )

I will have the Rx units in the car, so if you can have your money with you, you can collect whenever you see me next ( or call at home if you prefer )
............................................. £ Total
Andy x 4 ................................. 52
Allan Patrick x 2 .........................26
Marty x 2...................................26
John OxleyDean x 2 .................... 26
Sam Thomas x 1..........................13
Mark Barnes x 1..........................13

The vapor cells are "unallocated" but I bought 30 units. I want 5 myself, the other 25 are up for grabs by anyone who wants them ( maximum 5 each to be fair )

Well done Tim

I'll go for three Vapor cells please. I think I will owe you £35

See you soon

waiting for my order from HK aswell that was a long time for your order to arrive

Ok Allan - the parcel is apparently being delivered Tuesday.
Looooong delay cause the rx were out of stock for months.

I would like 3 cells please tim, I will be at the field this club night and most likley this weekend so I will keep my money on me just incase you are there

OK

Quick summary

Good
1) Cheap as chips ( approx £13 with shipping and customs )
2) Very small and light
3) Seems to work just fine on range checking ( they are classed as park fly mind )
4) Quick Connect was pretty well instantaneous when checked for brown out

Not so good
1) No heatshrink fitted or bind plug included ( no big deal but not as advertised )
2) No pin out configuration or labelling whatsoever.
3) Single wire aerial looks flimsy + needs a blob of hot glue where it meets PCB
4) Binding took a few goes, but all seems rock solid now.

So for those of you who are buying them, heres the pin-out config.

Not bad really for just £48 - just add battery and receiver all else is included.

OK Mark should be in most of the day I think.

Soz off topic, but have you got the microflow ready for Marty?

yeah its just sat here awaiting his call, I belive it was on hold till he returned to shore?

He asked me to collect it from you, and he will pick it up from my place when he comes here on his way back home from Hull.

If it came with a FUTABA TX I would have one.

ok no problem

they look bang on the money, the only thing I can see is it may need a bigger battery

General opinion is they need around 2000 mah to hold a decent voltage - Im gonna be trying the new nanotech turnigy 1800 @50C rated.

F18 had its maiden yesterday.[img][/img]

The light was crap, and it needed 3 attempts at a hand launch before it got it away, and then it flew real well. Well chuffed for the money....a few more mods to do now I know its worth it.
Yesterday was flown on 3s - the future is 4s.

Looks sweet enough nice one Tim, it may require 4S but the future is FUTABA

Actually its probably more like Corona or all the other cheap stuff that's flooding the market these days - and I don't mean the fizzy drinks.

Freesky

F18 looks the dogs dooberries! - Is this the one Hobby King said you could buy to make up your order weight?

Yup...
