To all my friends "HAPPY LANDINGS"....




Hi Guys,
Anyone bought any of these from Hobbyking??

How do they fly?
Is it worth buying any of them? Any comments before I make a little investment?Huh?
I still love flying my pico stick indoors and it seems one will fly slower, so it will come in handy for some calm days in a local park.

I have busted my Ikarus Shock flyer and was going to order the Piaget but this looks sturdier as it is EPP whereas Piaget, I think is made from 2mm or 3mmDepron.

Comparing the two which would be a better buy PIAGET or HKGB?

RC India - Flying and racing with open minds !



Saw their Micro Yak 54 which runs on a 1s lipo with someone recently. 

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=9195

Looked like 2mm EPP with very little reinforcement on the fuse (only a small length of CF along the underbelly), so picking it up by the top of the fuse felt that it was very flimsy. The wing had lots of reinforcement though.  The big problem was the recommended servos also had micro connectors, which means that you are in trouble unless you have a micro receiver which takes such connectors. Even otherwise, receiver weight was factor.

The gentleman said it was built for hovers which it does extremely well (indoors, especially), but was not sure about durability.

Thanks Anwar, I have just realised... you have reminded me... I need to go back and check if it takes 4 to 5 gram servos with ordinary plugs as I hate using those micro connectors and I am not interested in investing in a new receiver either..
