Well, in a moment of weakness, I shelled out fifty hard earned bucks for this model in HK's Xmas sale and, I must say, it was money well spent
My local park is a bit noise sensitive and, apart from being an abomination, I always intended to replace the EDF unit with a nose mounted motor and folding prop. I did this by back mounting an outrunner to a ply firewall and gluing the whole shebang into the fuse.
Set up is:
Motor: HK 28-30S Propdrive 800kv
ESC: HK 40amp Plush
Prop: aero-naut 10x8 folder
Battery: HK Nanotech 1300mAh
I will drop the supplied EDF unit and ESC into something else.
The weight of the motor and prop on the snoz necessitated the battery being placed back under the trailing edge of the wing. I opened up the lower fuse and was pleased to find a perfect channel in the fuse to take a 1300 battery.
The model is mildly aerobatic and thermals like a champ. With the folding prop on I expect it will be a nice sloper too. Here's a short vid, just cruising around down at the park.
