I see that he posts on here regularly. Is there a website to order from? I see he also sells the 1S Batts for UMs. My mustang could use a little boost as well!

Give him a PM!

He's sorting me out and I'm in your 51st State

No fluke, it's in the promo stuff that it has a cut off feature to protect the esc and motor if the prop gets jammed

Gday again guys,

Finally got to maiden the F27 this morning, what a thrill! This is the first of this type of plane I have flown (previously a few other parkzone 4 channel UM's and some other cheap foamies) and I must say it had my heart racing!

I used parkzones recommended launch method and failed the first time, but I think I was just too eager to get the power on. The 5 or six subsequent launches worked well. I found (for me anyway) that a good solid toss into a slight up angle gives you plenty of glide time to slowly wind up the power and get the wings level.

Anyhow as a newby to this sort of flying I dont have much to offer what is an awsome thread but I have just gotten home and am still so excited I had to share! Better go charge my batts and get ready for some more!!

Welcome aboard! But change this: "Better go charge my batts and get ready for some more!!" to "Better go buy more batts and get ready for some longer flying session!!" (or start charging in the field!). This airplane is addictive!

Cheers Gambler. Yeah I had two fresh stock packs at the park which weren't enough! I'll have to get some more I reckon! LOVE this plane!

Make sure to get the Hyperion Batts i know i`m ordering a wack of them

I just built a bungee launcher for the the Demon its not so scary now. Its not that I am worried about getting bit by the prop I was scared of smacking the ground with it twenty feet out of my hand which happened more than once. There is no air up here in Idaho.

Ritewing Demon Bungee (1 min 3 sec)

On topic the 4X4 props work great on the UM Stryker. I was ready to sell mine after the first flight with the stock prop. I was extremely disappointed in the performance of it. With the 4x4 its a totally different plane. Flies great.

Having trouble mounting the motor, anything better than a really small screwdriver?

Got small prob I never noticed this Before but both my Rudders are opposite of each other so they 'Open" and Close" instead of doing right and Left.

Better explanation If the left rudder goes Left the right goes right and Vice Versa. How do i correct this?
I am using a DX6I and V-Tail is INH
