Look good on bench test, very quiet. Can't say how they will perform in the air, but I don't anticipate any issues. These are going to go into my kit bashed Slite V2, which is currently under construction.

This is my 2nd Slite V2. The first was an absolute joy to build and fly. I don't like the central spoiler and the lack of dihedral in the center panel. I think I can improve the turn handling by adding two degrees of dihedral on each side in the center panel, at least that's what the EDA (effective dihedral angle) calculations tell me. And I can land my Purito and Yellow Jacket, both with split spoilers, more accurately. So that's the treatment this center panel is going to get. There's a kit bash thread on RCGroups detailing this adventure.

As I really like the way the Slite moves around the sky, I can't wait to get this version done and see how it handles!

Oh, and something like 3 days from HyperFlight to Albuquerque, NM, USA. Great service from them as always!

You cannot beat Neil at Hyperflight for service or superior products. If you are going to use a pennant on your hi start, this is the one.

As always before, Neill completed my order quickly, and I got exactly what I wanted. These hi starts have become the item of choice, producing consistent launches and showing high durability.

Super well made. Perfect for Sunbird or Magnus. Have purchased twice.

Fantastic tail boom for my 1.6 meter slope glider. Extremely light weight with 0.3 mm wall but plenty stiff with 10mm diameter at the fuselage.

Kit arrived with parts missing . No servo covers or wing fixings . One of the expensive servos does not centre correctly.. the holes in the wing did not line up with the fuselage so a bit of messing around with that. Have not flown it yet as I need to buy another servo 😔. Not my best experience so far .

I have bought several models from Hyperflight over the years and always had great service from Neil.
This is my second MicroMax and it has to be one of favourite models. It flies great in anything from almost zero wind to well over 25knts and probably more - I've never tried anything stronger. It handles ballast well - I use 1 or 2 lead pieces of 90g each which fit under the wing and that allows the model to cope with most conditions.
It can be flown slowly for a leisurely cruise around the sky or when ballasted it turns into a mini rocket ship.
So much fun and versatility. 5 stars at least.

Excellent service and excellent spinner

These were recommended by hyperflight for the MD2 so I bought them. Centering is off so much that I have to make an aileron movement in opposite direction just to get the control surface back to center. I recommend that you DON'T recommend these servos to anyone else.

Perfect fit to convert my 5 mtr Hf models ASW 28 to self launch , high quality spinner .

As expected from such great brands

Fits great and works with (e.g) CN 30mm motor mount to make otherwise large motors fit into narrow F5J fuselages. A very useful feature is that it will work with other motors with 5mm shaft - like Xpower Storm. Used epoxy to bond the shaft extension onto existing shaft but a good loctite product should work fine too.

Have used these in a number of soarers, They have performed well and i will be happy to fit them again.

When I ordered I mentioned that I was happy for the wire to be cut into small lengths to facilitate easier post but no, it was sent very quickly but 1 M lengths curled up in a box! Not easy to straighten again.

Very high quality folding prop. Light and strong.

Excellent servo for the job.

As a glider the Purito lives up to its excellent reputation. I've only had a handful of flying sessions since fitting it out, but everything so far has been extremely encouraging. Launches are very good, float in light conditions goes on and on, yet it is more than responsive enough on 1s voltage.

I needed a fast replacement for the unexpected loss of my previous F3L glider, so purchased this ARTF version rather than the kit. The quality of making and covering is superb, all I had to do was fit my Rx and servos and install the pushrods for the tail parts etc.

I originally fitted a small 2s 350mAh lipo but found the servo speed and torque unnecessarily high which upset my flying style, and the capacity drainage too fast. So I returned to a 1s 750mAh which I'd always used on my past F3L gliders, now the Purito flies much better (for me) and the capacity is more than enough for a long half-day's flying.

Bare weight was 415g, plus 15g in the nose (for a 73mm CG) gives 430g flying.

Made ballast for the wing-spar which increases this by 40g, 70g or 100g (each incl 10g spacer set) but not yet needed to use this.

Very pleased.

Bought this switch for my 1mtr rc yacht , it saves time having to un-seal / re-seal hatch with tape to switch power on/off on the receiver.
Ordered on a Tuesday it arrived next day.
Brilliant service hyperflight , well done.

Ottimo

great product I use it for servo plugs into receivers I run a bead along the top of the plug where it makes contact with the RX stops the plug from never coming out when you don't want it too like on a heli build, but it also pulls off clean at any time so great product, its got loads of uses that's what I use it for

Quality products delivered promptly

Purchase these for my XPower F2919/10 also from HyperFlight.
Customer service continues to be better than first class ‼️

Not used yet, however unit was as advertised and great service from HYPERFLIGHT.

Great “little” motor. Fitted perfectly into the NG2M. Figure I will have an excess of power.

Great design, well manufactured, works as advertised, perfect fit for the model.

First time user of KST servos. Actually not supprised about the quality and performance, based on alot of reviews read. Buying more in the future.

Ideal for the job!! Stick down well with double sided tape...

I am very impressed with the quality of this spinner. The quality is great and the price is very reasonable.

Quick delivery well packed lovely model as usual can not wait to get it in the air. I have started to kit it out the only down side is tail plane and wing bolt holes out of line easily fixed. The build quality is great but with the price the bolt holes a bummer

Very pleased with the quality and the price, very complete and with a good collet which i prefer to grub screws

This is excellent frames for use in many types of gliders. I am verry happy with the product, and it was used all around in my NAN Orion V2. Everything delivered from Hyperflight. Great service!

Nice little kit, excellent wood quality. Despatch time up to Hyperflight usual standard. Looking forward to the build having built the original 3 metre version back in the 1980's.

AS Always, service from Hyperflite is excellent

The whole delivery was of good quality. The only thing needed some work to remove tiny burrs from prop blade and spinner hub. Much faster delivery than I expected:-)

First purchase from HyperFlight. Very impressed with speed and attention to detail not to mention the value of advice given.
The kit was a bit different to my normal more “robust” slope models but was enjoyable to build. Good assistance from the build threads noted in the hyperflight text kept me on track with the precision needed with these models.
First flights, always a stressful moment, turned out to be very stable and predictable, Neil’s advice on dual sky motor was spot on, amazed at the climb rate! The Sapphie looks looks spectacular in the air, looking forward to calm weather and sunshine.

As usual- super fast service- received the next day and replaced in my aged f3f soarer that day. Good and precise replacement don’t expect any issues with this quality product.

These are really nice frames and IDS. Rugged! I couldn't get the horn onto the spline easy. I found this thread on RCGroups that suggested a bit of heat and then they slid on with some pliers. Afterwards they worked nicely on/off while getting the angles correct. It doesn't take much heat, just a little.

The servo was just what the model required.... First class service and response from Neil...as it is always so.

The Hacker A2022L (?) motor I installed, per plans recommendation, in my Inside F5J lost its smoke. I tried fitting another Hacker in there but just couldn't get the new one in, as the wires couldn't clear the slot without dragging on the rotor--probably the cause for the original motor short. Also, the Hacker rotor was scratched, indicating that there had been some contact with the nose block. I would have had to do some significant surgery to get the new motor in. The XPower outrunner in a case was the perfect solution--it just slid right in and had the same mounting hole pattern and I didn't have to worry about the spinning rotor touching the sides or wiring. Plenty of power and much cheaper than an inrunner/gearbox combination. It's about 20gr heavier than the original Hacker, but that wasn't an issue, as it was easy to rebalance the model. Worth the extra cost compared to the original Hacker. I should mention that the HyperFlight price, incl. shipping to the US was less than anything I could find my side of the Pond. (I hope current politics doesn't change that!) I have some possible F3J to F5J conversions that I might consider using this motor. In any case, I'm through with conventional outrunners!

Servos arrivés rapidement fonctionnent parfaitement
Attention au taxes douanières à ajouter au prix merci le Brexit….

Nice, well made bags. Highly recommended.

Very nice frame as advertised with the usual 👍 service from hyperflight.

Frames exactly as advertised with prompt shipping. Great service from Hyperflight.

Prompt service for these excellent frames

Great value, Quality product, well priced, and great service from Hyperflight.

I used this to replace a YGE 65lvt esc. It is lighter and seems to give more power than the YGE. I had to use a throttle curve as full power comes in very quickly. The brake works well and is preset.

This is my third one . Great esc for my F5J model's . Excellent service as usual from Neil and the Hyperflight team.

Model arrived in perfect condition, well packed by Hyperfight. I want for the lighter 'S' layup which i'm sure will be more than up to anything I can throw at it. Quality of constriction is first rate and she looks spectacular and I'm sure will have real presence in the air. I'm just starting the electronics install. I went with Kingmax servos: CLS0612W for the flaps and CLS0512W (8mm thick) for the ailerons, elevator and rudder. Note that if you want to avoid bulged covers you need 8mm servos at the aileron position.
Kit comes with ballast tube, servo frames and hardware though depending on your choice of servo you may have to add your own frames. I'll do another review one the model is built and flown.

This is a lovely quality kit. Great recommendation by Neil and excellent service by Hyperflight as usual.

On the recommendation from Neil. I bought one of the Dualsky motors as my first two choices were out of stock. These perform very well , They do the job for a lot less than some of the better known brands . I have several now fitted to my 2-3m gliders .

I have been using KSTX10's for the last 16 months . I have found them to be reliable, well made , and for their size they are perfect for what I wanted them for . I have now fitted these in several models. As for the service from Hyperflight. Just brilliant .

I purchased a Nan Explorer 3 V tail from Neil last fall and have slowly gathered the bits an pieces for assembly this winter. However, after watching several videos and getting input from fellow club members that also own Explorers, I purchased a pair of MKS HV 6130 servos for flaps. I ordered two sets of IDS assemblies for the new servos and have now started the installation process. While the quality of the IDS units is excellent, the lack of instructions is a miss in my opinion. I am grateful that others have taken the time to create some in-depth videos on how to properly install these units. They are tedious to install, but upon completion (by following along on the videos) they are amazing in performing the required task of moving wing control surfaces. Thanks Neil and Hyperflight for great service and quality products.

I built the first Introduction kit last winter (2023-2024) and test flew it in early summer of 2024. I then sold it to a club member that just fell in love with the way it launched and seemed to just float in the air. Unfortunately, he crashed it this past fall leaving only with the tail feathers with carbon boom and center panel. I purchased the second kit and proceeded to replicate the original version. This new bird was test flown yesterday (Feb. 27, 2025) on a rather nice day here in the Rocky Mountains and I'm happy to report that this second model turned out to fly exactly like the first model. I had added some additional 1/16" birch ply to the forward part of the fuselage for some added motor mount strength (at the owner's request) and that added approximately 1 oz. of weight over the original model. I think that the performance of this second version of this model speaks well to the sailplane designer and the kit manufacturer. Thank you, Neil, and Hyperflight for outstanding service and quality products.

Happy with these, do what they say on the tin!

5 days delivery to Australia, thanks Hyperflight! Kit arrived in perfect condition. And what a Great little Glider it is. Looking forward to building this one .Only small compliant German instructions. FIVE STARS!

Used the esc in a comp. soon after purchase and it works well driving a dualsky motor. Small size fits in fuselage easily with space to spare. As usual great service from Neil. Braking seems a bit hard, really needs to be toned down but I haven't sorted out how to change the paramaters of the esc. yet.

Amazing service, good coms when asking questions and fast delivery . thankyou.

Lucky enough to live close enough to Hyperflight to be able to pick up this lovely DLG. For the money, it is excellent value . I had the glass version. It is very light and beautifully made. A lack of space upfront has always put me off DLG's, however this is not the case with the Dart 2. It was easy to build, using the Bluebird 101s, the supplied servo tray, a 500mAh 1 S lipo and a Spektrum AR620 without case. To get the correct cg, the RX is at the very front, with the battery behind .
I had an issue with two of the four Bluebird servos, they would not centre at all. A call to Neil sorted this, replacing the flapperon servos with KST and keeping the two better Bluebirds for the tail . Neil is super helpful and very easy to deal with. At this price range, I think this is a great entry level DLG, particularly as the Malibu Pro is not available.

Good quality, ideal for RC control horns. Rapid delivery, very satisfied.

Neil provided an excellent well packed product. Although I haven't put the craft together it's quality and craftsmanship is outstanding. Can't wait to get it in the air !

I'm astonished at how precise the wood is, the kit builds so rewardingly. As a construction project it makes you feel like a wizard.
I'm about 80% done with about 80% to do :-)
Fus, vertical and horizontal stabs are done, motor / prop/ esc / spinner are on and working.
Halfway through wings and flying surfaces.
The guys at hyperflight suggested some electronics and they are fitting and working so well.
Very, very pleased.
Fingers crossed for the maiden when it comes.

The only option for 4-servo F3K wing.
For 2-servo might be not suitable for windy ones.

A very fine model to build and fly. See my video.

The servos I needed when I needed them , Thank you

Everything arrived in Argentina fine. The Dragonfly is beautiful!

Thank you very much for everything.

Works well with xpower windy motor for 4m glider.

Great motor, works well in X3 f5j👍

Very well packaged, fast delivery.
Robust construction, well finished.
Went together very easily.
Plenty of room in fuselage for receiver/ battery
23 mm C of G. 3 mm reflex. Elevator 2-3 mm. Aileron 4-5 mm.
Very fast and very exciting to fly. Don’t take your eyes off it for a moment!

Ottimo servizio, pienamente soddisfatto

Great service, as usual! :-)

This airframe goes together pretty fast and build quality is superb! it's very fun to fly, quite nimble and twitchy, could use a little ballast for moderate wind. I honestly would buy a second immediately in the event of an unrepairable crash but so far it's taken a few modest hits like a champ and one nasty launch required some lightened epoxy and was flying like new again!

I built with blue bird A10S for ailerons and emax es9051 for tail pull strings. the emax were too tall without aggressive modification so double check your servo height. about 141g all up.

10/10, will buy again if needed!

It makes a perfect combination on an F5-Res model. 550mAh, 2S battery and DualSky XM2523EG-28 motor.

These are very good quality and are perfect for my large scale glider .
As always excellent service from Neil and his team at Hyperflight.

These little servos seem to be great so far, no complaints yet anyway. They feel good and the price is good. Im done with cheap servos. I think im gonna stick with these. Im a sport flier and not rich so these suit me fine. Ive had a few queries that i emailed to Hyperflight and received a prompt response. Overall a good experience.

Better video's to follow soon.

Always good.communication and fast shipping all the way to California...think it was about a week and a half from order to doorstep. Well packaged and a beautiful.model...happy guy

I've just bought a yellow one of these to go with my existing Corsa so I thought I'd update the description.
Mine arrived with a fibreglass firewall about 4mm thick, with vents incorporated and
mounting holes drilled at 25mm radius. Wrong for the motor I'd chosen but I was able to drill mounting holes at 16mm radius to fit my motor.
A 40mm Aeronaut cool nose spinner fits perfectly.
It also arrived with servo extension leads for the two servos mounted in the tail.
The Corsa tailplane and wings fit very accurately in to the wider fuselage with everything a good tight interference fit and the colour is a good match.
I've not been able to fly it yet but I'll add to this when I do.

The included firewall fits 1507 motor. The included servo frames fits cha servos. Very nice model

HV means it can handle above 5v.
Strong, precise and hopefully long-lived.
Not cheap. Acting as flap servos in 2 Fosa Lifts.

Next day delivery and arrived in perfect condition in stout box.Model much nicer than Webb page with excellent attention to detail and well thought out. Can highly recommend Hyperflight and this model. Carried out maiden flight today but wind was a bit strong so didn’t get a good test

As always, fast and efficient service and delivery

Nice Model, easy to build, an it flies just perfect.

I used it with a CN 25mm spinner on my electrified X-RES 2meter. It worked amazingly well. Very happy with it.

Very light weight. Quality construction.

Used it to power my 410g X-Res glider converted to electric power. With a 3S LiPo and a 7x4 prop, gets right up there to 100 meters in under 20 seconds.

Great kit, fast build and I love the 4 servo options

Great kit, fast build. Woud like to have a version with the aileron servos in the wing.

Excellent product, perfect for my mini-q

Perfect for my needs, if you’re not using the slimmest of servos
Neil is always a pleasure to deal with

This is my second XPower cased outrunner. They are tough motors.
This will power my Xplorer 2. Thanks Neil.

It seems to do everything well and turned out great. The kit is very nicely made but slightly more difficult to assemble than expected. The servo mount shown in the videos isn’t included in the kit so you have to fabricate your own, but this is easily accomplished using some of the spare stock. Make sure to use a lightweight covering to prevent over shrinking the wing since the trailing edge side can be fragile. The BMS-101DMG servos fit perfect barely clearing the bottom of the wing. Anything wider will require some additional planning. I wish it came with a full-size plan but that would probably just increase the price.

AUW came in at 123g. Instead of the recommended equipment, I used some leftover components in the build and was very happy with how it all works together. Here is my setup:
Motor EMAX 1106-KV4500 with Graupner CAM 4.7×2.3 prop & VM 25mm Spinner for 11xx Motors
Rcvr Lemon DSMX Diversity LM0034Z
ESC MX-12A
Servo 2 x Blue Bird BMS-101DMG
Batt 2S 350 HV (GNB3502S70AHV)

La qualité est au Top
Colis reçu rapidement

Great product, prompt delivery

These arms are good quality and the size is compact just like the BMS 115/125-127 micro servos. The splines are tight and easily removable for adjustments, and the 1.5cm length is just right.

These Bluebird WV+ servos are great, they run well on just a single LiPo and even better with a 5V boost. I've run the 127 for speed and the 125 (and 115) for torque, with good success all around. For the size, they can't be beat IMO.

And can't close the review without five-starring the Hyperflight service. Immediate shipping and great delivery, internationally.

I’ve actually had 3 of these. One for me and the others two were fitted to models I’ve built for other people. They work really well and the 6 volt output is a good compromise if you are using HV servos. I did find one problem. If you are using a 2 cell setup, I found the motor would not start reliably. I discussed this with Neil and he suggested that the minimum voltage be reprogrammed to 2.7 volts per cell. I sent the units back to him and he adjusted them accordingly and now that problem has gone away. They were returned promptly. The issue did not occur when using 3 cells.
I haven’t tried the telemetry yet but will will see how that goes. They appear very well made.

Not a lot to say about a collets but it works well. GM products are the best.

Hyperflight provides excellent service and shipping!
