This is a good addition to the Wiki 2M. Each ballast cylinder fits exactly into the wing holes provided in the model. The ballast set comes with a correctly sized storage box that the user assembles. I did not see that in the description, so I was happy to see that. Hyperflight continues to serve USA addresses with prompt shipping.

Excellent Maverick kit, still building. Excellent parts, This motor was surprisingly small but very powerful.Excellent service from Hyperflight.

They are sometimes hard to find. Thanks for your help. Works great.

If I could leave 6 stars I would.
Incredibly nimble and fast, yet able to fly slow in no wind to light conditions and core thermals TIGHT! Yesterday I topped out a thermal off 1 throw at 72 meters!!!!

Ive also had a few mishaps on landing in stronger conditions but overall the plane and wing hold up well. The rudder fin however is a bit fragile. I may be inserting a small carbon rod to give it more strength for more of my "improvised" landings.

100% getting another one to fly with a bit more weight for the slope!

Product is great. Service is even better. I receive my shipments to Canada in less than a week.

Simply amazing. Ideal for light ships. Will let electrons flow easily. Using it with a 2S Lipo.

Lightweight yet powerfull. Great buy for F5K ship or sub-250 grs bird. Love it!!!

Purchased my Ahi from HyperFlight last week along with servos and battery as per Neil’s recommendation. Firstly the Ahi is so easy to put together it’s ready to fly in no time and the quality is great, no issues whatsoever excellent. I spend most of my time putting vinyl on it to brighten it up.

The Bluebird BMS-126WV servos that Neil recommended are excellent and fit in the plane a treat, centre well and powerful and a sane price. I’m sure I’ll have many flights with this and bags of fun.

HyperFlight has always been first class service, lots of really helpful advice and tips plus a really nice bloke. Cheers Neil excellent service as always 👍

If you're hesitating, jump straight in .... the kit's wonderful.

It's been many years since I built from a kit, my last efforts were of the Veron and Frog sort, so this one came as a revelation. Incredible balsa and not a crushed or mangled edge in sight, the cutting was perfect. I'm about halfway through so I've a way to travel yet but it goes together like a well made jigsaw, for a nearly novice there's a few mysteries but the build log here and cogitation over a pot of tea will solve those .... I can't believe that my finished fuselage weighs only 39 grammes, I've probably folded paper darts that were heavier ..... roll on some dry days, but first a few wet ones please, so I can finish the Alt bird free of guilt.

Excellent plane and outstanding service!

Normally use my Arduino Nano but tested one of these for a fellow flier. Drivers installed automatically on windows 10. Very easy to use and worked with both BLHeli-32 and BLHeli-S. The software is already on the device so no need to flash when swapping between Heli32 and Heli-S.

Tolles Produkt, passt perfekt für Auri und CX 3

Perfect!

This is a lovely made little DLG. As far as I can tell, it flyes really nice. However, be careful not to leave as many dents in the wing as I did building it, the surface looks as strong as double carbon, but it isn't :) I'm tempted to compare it to the glass version, but so far it handles my "neary catched" landings pretty well.
Thanks for the perfect shipping!

Always a pleasure dealing with Hyperflight

Arrived in California in 4 DAYS! Very impressed with the quality of this model and build time, all up around 4 hours to build and then longer waiting for glue/epoxy to cure. I will be ordering another one soon. I want more of these for the quiver!!! Hours of fun with a 300mah battery! Also note: The HS40 servos do not fit in the vertical position, they are too tall. The aileron servos should be about 15mm tall max.

The Max Flight F5K was the first elect. DLG I owned. I bought this plane to fly under the FAA 250-gram guidelines. When i saw how well it fly's I had to start up a collection. These planes fly and land on a dime. I have both 4 servo and 6 servo planes. The 4 servo turns faster than the 6-servo unit and they are both fantastic and led me down a long journey on exploring the world of elect. DLGS

Maybe I didn't read it correctly, but I don't know if this model is Genteel or Gentile Lady because the assembly drawing shows something different and the decal shows something different. In my case, the element: 2.5mm Balsa lower hatch base was incorrectly cut with a laser... When building the model, you can use YT and PDF of the Angelwing Designs construction file to help you build the model. I was looking for just such a thermal glider, with a wing for slow speeds without much wind, rather silent flights. Although, as you can see on YT, even the sea breeze does not bother this sub250g drone. I am preparing to use a pylon on top of the wing center wing with an electric small motor. I recommend it for flights in small spaces without having to maintain the A1/A3 category.

Given the weight should work well in an F3J to F5J conversion project. Product was shipped quickly.

Shipped & delivered quickly. No surprises.

Like a lot of us I’d love a 4m carbon ship, but the price jumps exponentially at that sort of size, and for most sport flyers (like me) it’s hard to justify.

That’s why this 2.5m Joy appealed to me, and a lovely thing it is too. A lot of the assembly work is done for you, and these things are beautifully manufactured, I’ve got the smiley face design and it’s flawless. Everything goes together so well, and the wiring harness is pre-installed and everything marked on the carbon layup for things like servo horns and the cuts for the wing servo rods. The servo boxes are cleanly finished and you really can’t mess up the channel to the servo horn unless you’re very ham fisted!

As ever with a precision wing like this one, you need some high precision servos to do it justice and to ensure you get reliable and consistent camber and other wing positions, so don’t skimp on those if you can help it.

All up weight for mine was 690g, but I went for a gearbox motor. The two fuse hatches allow for flexible rc positioning and access, but tape them on before flight just in case.

Flight wise, I’m finding it really rewarding, it will float quite readily if that’s your style, but is also happy screaming around making you smile at the sound of it.

Delivery from Neil was as ever brilliant, well boxed and arrived in perfect condition. The box has got a second life at my daughter’s primary school as part of a giraffe sculpture, the cardboard is very strong! :-D

Excellent service many thanks

Not what I was expecting as didn’t seem lightweight. Seemed std weight and quite stiff. However did the job.

Not what I was expecting. Didn’t seem particularly lightweight. Quite stiff and seemed like standard weight. However did the job.

Purchased the 1250 rpm outrunner & carbon prop for my Dream Hotliner 2.0. Postage to Country Australia was 2 weeks exactly. I have installed and tested but not flown as yet. Seems to have plenty of pull and carnt wait to get this airborne Neil has been absolutely excellent to deal with and I will be purchasing more products in the future.

As Allways, the service is excellent. Talking about the kit, excellent quality.

Really nice quality spinner

Beautiful little motor

Great esc. Small and smooth in operation. I have two. Perfect set up for a RES and F5k models.

Very happy with my MicroMax purchases. Everything was shipped fast and packaged very very well making it to the USA in perfect shape. The models arrived just a few days after ordering! Thank you Hyperflight. (Neil)

Good service, all received in time, quick shipment.
Definitely recomend this shop, and will comeback with order once needed.
Thanks Neil!

Very fast clean shipping very nice quality highly recommend!! Wish you folks had a couple pictures of rigging and servo battery and RX layout..

Very good spinner reasonable price very handy with different centres great service as usual

The Terra V5 is a 'quality' kit that comes in a lite-ply box which becomes the building jig for the wings. It includes push-rods, hinges carbon joiner rod and 3D printed wing joiner mouldings. Assembly was straight forward but some care is required fitting the 1mm lead edge sheet and some effort required to sand down the trailing edges. It is a lightweight design using commendably light balsa for the tips and tail. I recommend carbon reinforcement (1x3 mm strip or 2mm rod ) is incorporated during the build. Some though is required during building as how to connect the wing servos and how to keep the wings in place . Nothing is mentioned on the plan. There is very little space to use rubber band retainers so I fitted a vertical tube in each wing root to be joined by a piano wire u shape across the top of the fuzelage. I used small 4way pcb header pins and plugs to connect the servos at the wing root. I used the recommended servos but needed to modify the supplied servo mounts to suit the confined space in the wings. My motor is a Dualsky XM2532 1500K which being a "cased outrunner" was a easy fit with a 9x6 folding prop. The model flys well in light conditions but I have not tried it in a strong breeze. Mine weighs in at 640gm but because of the rather short nose I needed 50gams of lead and a 78gm 3S 850mAh Lipo to bring the CoG to the recommended 60mm behind the leading edge. This is a rewarding model but requires prior building experience.

These are ideal for lightweight models. The only problem is that you have NO adjustment. Just roughen the end of a 1.5mm carbon push rod, apply medium cyno glue and slide on. The pin needs a 1.6mm drilled to the control horn for a perfect fit. Only 4 stars because there is no adjustment but they do work well.

these are great thin servos. using in v tails and ailerons.

Overall a nice plane , but lack of instructions and guidance let it down . the spoiler system seems ok but is a bit quirky . The 'Medina' model system is simpler and works well .You need build experience for this. Hyperflight were good and fast shipping.

VEry nice motor and plenty of power fo my needs great service as usual

Perfect, thank you.

Perfecto como siempre.

Have not started the build yet. Quality kit, very well packaged, prompt delivery. Hyperflight will now be on my main list of suppliers.

Good product and great seller

Good price, great service👍

Received the parcel in Romania after 8 days. All in excellent order. Thanks.

Great service as usual. Fast delivery and esc works great.

Excellent quality and very consistant with the usual good service.

Good quality and a prompt service.

Great little battery and fast delivery

Great solution for making carbon push rods. I epoxy these to the end of a carbon rod. Finally coating the carbon rod and aluminium end with epoxy and heat shrink the assembly before the epoxy sets. This makes a strong end set up that will stand most if not all stresses.

Great solution for glider flap and aileron push rods. The quality is good and clevises screw on firmly.

This is the fist time I have used horns like this. The horns are a substantial item and look a good solution for my new V Tail Project.

Great product and Ideal horn solution in composite wings.

The clevises are stronger and shorter than others on the market giving a more secure reliable connection. The shorter length helps when using them in glider applications.

Great servo. These were for my Eternity F5j. Fast and consistently accurate. These on Rudder and Elevator.

Bought 3 to replace some Nano-tech 300mAh 2S lipos that didn't deliver the power for my Spin El I just assembled. But these Bonka lipo packs sent the Spin El of like a scolded cat! These will become my go to lipos from now on....

Very fast clean shipping very nice quality highly recommend!! Wish you folks had a couple pictures of rigging and servo battery and RX layout..

I asked Neil and his team in the order comments section if the list of items I had ordered were compatible with each other (fire wall, spinner, props, collect etc). Within an our of placing the order Neil rang me and informed me the spinner I ordered was incorrect for the set up. The correct one was added to the order and the wrong one removed. Great service as always and the components are the best on the market. Many thanks Neil & Team.

Good quality product Neil even cut them to the length I required and saved me money on postage. Great service and great model shop to buy from.

Good quality product at a reasonable price. As always great service from Neil and his team.

Received in a great 7 days. Well packaged and all there . There was a replacement parts bag for some bits that were cut too small, all good. There is a small leaflet on some instructions , but minimal , there is a build thread on RC Groups. Some thinking on some of the build , but an experianced builder should be ok . Some of the ply fuse parts needed a little sanding/cutting as they didn't quite slot in . The wing joining points I got to a great fit and good angle UNTIL i covered when they bent noticebly , some angled balsa needs to be added at 45 ' to stop this , braced against the carbon spar at the next rib down . ( like a geodetic structure. ). Not flown yet but will soon . Overall pretty good .

Mighty little servo at a decent price delivered promptly

Worked as advertised and delivered within a day. Motor best used in a 32mm firewall.

Works as advertised and delivered in a day.

Used a few of these now, and have been very good and ready setup to use with a glider. All I do is set the throttle limits via my transmitter on first use and it's ready.

Used in a Kavan Resco El along with the HyperFlight 28A BLHELI-32 ESC and 9x5 prop.

Measured just under 80 Watts power, drawing 9 Amps.

Takes my Kavan Resco with AUW of 490 grams up to 60m between 15 to 18 seconds.

Happy with the setup.

Appears well made - haven't flown it yet. All parts fit precisely and very reasonably priced.

Probably the best servos one can buy for F3F V-tails at the moment.

Prompt service, thank you

Very fast clean shipping very nice quality highly recommend!! Wish you folks had a couple pictures of rigging and servo battery and RX layout..

Prompt service, thank you

I've given these 4 stars only because they don't last very long, but are great for holding the prop blades close to the fuse. No more blades that dangle or don't quite fold all the way back. Will be buying some more, although I forgot with an order I just put in - doh!

These are very nice prop blades, but there was a difference of 0.4g in weight between the two blades. As you can imagine, the front of the fuselage had the shakes when I tried a static test (it was at this stage I weighed them). I ended up sanding the front and rear surface of the heavier blade until it matched the lighter one, and repolished it. The other issue was I needed to remove bulges from the roots as they were preventing the blades opening. Hopefully Neil reads these reviews and feeds them back to manufacturers, at least match up pairs of blades better. Having said all this I would use these again, as once balanced are great, and fold nice and close to the fuselage when used with a CN-U Spinner.

These are required for the CN-U Spinners and solid, well made items that fit snuggly onto the motor shaft

Used a few of these spinners now and love them. Robust (fence post tested ha ha), compact, and hold the prop blades snug against the fuselage. The 32mm was perfect for my Kavan Resco.

I wanted to wait until I had completed the build and flown the model before posting a review. I mostly scratch build my planes from plans rather than a kit but wanting a 2m glider and faced with all those ribs, so on this occasion I chose the Eli RES. Like other reviewers I was very impressed with the quality of the kit and apart from a few head scratches during building, it went together very nicely with excellent fits. I used a suggested power train of the DYS D2225-19 1350kv (which is a nice snug fit in the nose) and the 28A BLHI-32 ESC. For r/e I used a pair of the CHA DS06 Chaservo and a pair of Power HD servos for the spoilers. The suggested spoiler/servo mechanism works fine. I covered the model with Hyperflight's own transparent covering and was surprised how nicely it worked. Finished weight was 470g with a Tattu 750mAh battery which I was able to squeeze in. I have flown it several times now, the power setup gives several reasonable climbs and although there was marginal lift on most occasions I flew the ELI it still managed not to disappoint. I can't wait for some better days. Spoilers are set to about 60 degrees and a little up elevator to compensate. They are not overly effective. I would thoroughly recommend the Eli, it looks and flies great. Excellent service from Hyperflight.

Great service

Shipped promptly and was as advertised. A no fuss product suitable for training and practice sessions. Not suitable for F5J following FAI rules i.e. not a data logger.

Product shipped promptly and was as advertised.

Arriving within a few days, I was able to quickly restore a Powerline Micro 1010/19 gearmotor which, due to a fall to the ground, had hardened the rotation of the propeller axis.
The supply from Hyperflight is always fast and precise.

I'm no way the most experienced F5J pilot but have second hand Explorer Ultima 2, Osprey but in any weather the Enigma is put in the car first. Its the Kevin De Bruyne of F5J.

I found the Glider fun to build and seemed to be reasonably easy even for me a first time builder.
The Pug flies great and responds to very light lift conditions which is a blast, I was able to thermal it first day out!
Unfortunately, I found the 3d printed bits to be excessively brittle I broke one of the pushrod guides separating them, broke the elevator mount installing the elevator, broke the forward wing mount tightening down wing for the first time and finally the rear wing mount broke on the second day out during a slightly hard landing. My kit was also missing the carbon throwing peg.
Regardless the pug is a joy and I will likely be picking up a twisty soon enough!

Durable, lightweight and robust.

Well made props and they fit perfectly to the CN spinner.

I am converting a Topaz to electric. Dualsky 3036 mounts perfectly. Nice product

Bought two Pico Reds and installed in both a Prestige 2PK Pro Standard and Storm. Both in conjunction with a 2S/300 battery. My last flight yesterday testing 6S in the Storm, and not yet familiar with the total consumption used at full power. Ended up at around three hundred meters in 10 seconds (after already flying for 20 min...) and got low voltage warning. Looked at the Jeti display which told me 15 volts! No chance to fly the 2PK down in time. Then "popped" the low RX voltage up, and the backup battery took over. Full brakes from 300 meters brought the ship safely down.

I have set the BEC voltage to 8,4 V, and charged the 2S/300 battery to 3,9V cell (7,8V total). 3,9 V gives around 190 mAh for use. The telemetry is set for Voltage low at 8V, so I knew the backup was "taking over".

What a fantastic solution! It helped me this time, but I know for sure to land before this happens again

Excellent

The performance is wonderful,I surprise it. and also very thanks for deal.

Top quality parts, perfectly cut and good instructions plus a colour plan

The kit itself is high quality. I would rate this kit about 9 to 10 for craftsmanship!
I am very impressed with the way the servos for the tail are laid out in this sailplane.
The elevator control horn uses a steel rod that is joined from the root end of both elevators. You have to use a clevis to connect to this rod and the servo, but it's a neat idea the way it works!
Overall, love this kit!
It's one of the best kits on the market!

Usual speedy delivery from Hyperflight and after a couple of minutes with a permagrit to reduce the width of the servo lugs they fit the frames just fine. The external bearings need pliers to gently snap them into place into the nylon frame but just be careful to keep the bearing level with the top of the frame when doing this. So much better than the wooden frames.

Superb quality part that was on my doorstep, half a world away, a week after damaging the original DLG style fin which is fragile in a sloping environment. The replacement fin arrived perfectly packed to prevent damage during transit. Superb service as usual Neil!
The original fin was fairly easy to remove at the glue joint and a minimal amount of boom sanding was performed to assist adhesion. A hole needs to be created in the forward 'shell' of the fin for the pull cable to pass though. I re-purposed the original horn and torque rod but needed to make a new pull cable due to the extra length required. The whole job took less than an hour to complete.

This is absolutely fantastic, test flew last weekend in about 20mph wind , cg at 20mm, 3mm up trim on elevons and away she flew.
Very responsive and fast !! Absolutely love it !!

thick, padded protection. perfectly adapted

High quality product with a nice surface finish, easy to build and a joy to fly!
Was worried about the short boom and its overall "short" length but it is very stable, very agile and light like a feather. A great DLG!
Great service from hyperflight and received it within 5 working days to central europe.

Popped onto my Chris Foss Centri Phase 2.5 mtr
Rudder and elevator
Perfect for the job
Metal cased and good torque.
Super slick postage from Neil

Great little servos
At a good price
Must have purchased a few handfuls of these from Neil over the past 24 months.
Can fault them
My go to servo for up to 3mtr gliders.

These are ideal for lightweight models. The only problem is that you have NO adjustment. Just roughen the end of a 1.5mm carbon push rod, apply medium cyno glue and slide on. The pin needs a 1.6mm drilled to the control horn for a perfect fit. Only 4 stars because there is no adjustment but they do work well.

This stuff is great. Easy to apply and adhesive bonds well. Gives a classic look if left unpainted. Will be ordering more.

Fits nicely

Product is well made as described. They will be snipped to size and used as Pikes for my Tin Figurines. Will buy again!
