Neat bit of kit, used in a scale glider but you do need to be very accurate with the positioning of the fob for turning off and because of the delay it is just as easy to open the canopy and unplug a connector. Another club member uses a >>>>> one which is far faster.
Exactly as expected… superb
Couldn’t conceive of using any other prop and spinner on the Thermik XXXL. Hyperflight came up trumps again, with what is a fairly bespoke/niche size…
This is a great servo. Small and powerful. As always first class service from Hyperflight.
Excellent product and service as always at a reasonable price
Exactly as expected… superb
Excellent solution for DLG. Well made and a perfect fit on the KST 06 Servo.
N.B They have a top and bottom. You could be forgiven for thinking they don't fit until you realise which is the splined side! There is also a very tiny gap between the underside and the servo so although it looks like they will rub, they don't. Recommended and will buy again.
Rapid despatch and well packed by Hyper Flight as always.
Pretty happy with this servo, gears are very tight.
Until now I build the wing and the tailparts. Everything has a perfect fit. I am really happy with the result so far. The video's are really helpful.
Unfortunately gave these CHA servos a try but they have more gear play than I’m happy with. Should of gone KST X10 Mini
Since being introduced to these switches from Hyperflight I have installed them on all new gliders and am converting all unpowered gliders to same. Makes life so simple
Very pleased with both the product quality and the extremely fast delivery. I got the 150-length tubes and used them for a kite. I’ve bought them before as well; they’re excellent! Very satisfied!
This is a classy kit. I chose it because it has a proper plan including a labelled diagram to help identify all the CNC cut parts, a decent instruction manual available via the link on the Hyperflight site, and an excellent build series on YouTube. Also it includes the components for building the electric powered fuselage, and is not laser cut so the parts are not discoloured. On opening the box I found a kit of beautiful quality. it is going to be a very enjoyable build, which I don't intend to rush.
good value, well packaged with various sizes in postal tube
primera vez que compro un planeador y de verdad he quedado sorprendido del buen trabajo que se realizo, todo calza espectacular, los cortes son precisos y detallados. los videos de apoyo ayudan mucho en poder armarlo de buena manera y que todo calse y quede bien. dada la distancia Chile en 10 dias llego. ya quiero terminar de armarlo he ir a volar, muchas gracias y saludos a todo el equipo
bought as a replacement to some old kst 135. same size but improvement over them and less servo noise. they are performing well in ailerons. delivery excellent as ever

I am not much of an electric person, but I love these motors the power you get out of them is amazing, I have them in most of my gliders and wow, they climb vertical, a must get.
After spending many hours build my RES 2m 3 piece wing for my Fresh to perfection I couldn’t stand the thought of damaging it! I bought the wing bags as insurance I didn’t make that mistake and I’m extremely pleased I did. Worth every penny and very good quality. A must have.
Found the kit to be very flimsy the carbon fibre TE is difficult to fit and some of the ribs do not reach the TE.A set of build instructions would be helpful as the online/utube instructions are for an earlier model.
Bought for an F5L RES build.
Fits perfectly in an electric Slite fuselage which is not the largest!
Not flight tested yet but all looks great so far with the usual great service from Hyperflight when I managed to order the wrong KV version which Neil put right with no fuss.
Bought for a F5L RES build needing a 30mm spinner.
Good to have the selection of collets included and nicely made and balanced especially for the price.
Great service from Neil as usual and highly recommended.
You get what you pay for excellent quality yes a little pricey but well worth the extra
Excellent service as always and a good product at a reasonable price
great service i ordered the wrong item,this was quickly sorted and refunded

The model went together quickly and the elliptical wing is beautiful. I ordered the F3L Encanto but after framing the wings and tails I realized it was the F5L version so if your inventory is off you'll know what happened. This one came in at 526 grams.
Installed an Emax RS2205-2300KV (which requires a 32mm spinner) with right- and down-thrust. Climbs are straight and strong at our 6000 ft msl.
The glide is smooth and well-behaved thanks in part to its long boom. Very elegant in the air. I like the ballast that's included in the kit. Simple to use.
Good product. I guess there are smaller ESC's but this one does the job
A good propeller for my eDLG
Excellent covering, I covered the 48 inch span wing of a lazy bee. It's lightweight like the recommended lightspan, but has its own adhesive. It went on very well.
The 3D printed parts are great for fitting things together. I found that the center sheeting on the upper surface was a 2mm short due to the curve of the upper airfoil. The bottom sheeting fit perfectly. The long piece to be put on the hinge line when butted to the trailing edge sheet moved the control surface to far back so it did not align with the 3D printed tip rib. I removed it and sanded it down to fit the space between upper and lower trailing edge sheets which also allowed it to reach the rib ends. The thin wing profile makes it a challenged to fit the battery and receiver but should make for a fast ship. When all put together the CG was right on the mark with no weight needed. I live the look of the finished ship.
Really Nice Quality Servos, and when you overlap the mounting Lugs, go very nicely in the MicroMAX nose. As an alternative to the Suggested Fitting Locations. Super smooth, super quiet and loads of power.
A must for any installation...
A most excellent product! Using them for XPower and DualSky motors with great success.
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
Probably the best designed and executed kit I have ever built. It's worth a premium price to be free of laser burn for once:) Instructions translated to English are confusing as usual. Finding build-thread photos helps, along with much patient re-reading. Note: the kit now includes nice ply mounts for using the KST X06H for the spoilers. Wish I'd known (ordering some now). Same with fuse servo tray - changed to suit using X06 servos
These little beauties have never let me down. If you are flying an E-res model (2metre wingspan) then you can't go past one of these. Great value. As always great service and very quick to get to Australia. Thanks Neil.
Unfortunately I am only able to give a 3 star review as one sheet of balsa for the fuselage was badly warped in both dimensions.
I released the fuselage from the sheet balsa and weighted it down overnight and the warps appeared to come out although I was concerned that upon construction the fuselage may not be true. I reported the matter to Neil at Hyperflight and continued the build.
Unfortunately the fuselage did run out at the tail by about 5mm. Neil’s identified that a twist would be induced in the fuselage if one side was warped and advised to pack the leading edge of the tailplane and use elevator to trim out in flight. I have spent a lot of time levelling the tailplane bed and sanding the fuselage sheeting.
Time will tell how successful this build has been but I am reasonably confident it will be fine for my purposes. I decided to proceed with the build as I do not plan on using the plane for competition.
Otherwise the quality of the kit is superb. When building the tailplane the laser cutting was superb and the pieces fitted together with absolute precision. I have yet to start the wing construction.
The delivery of the order was rapid and Neil has been very helpful and responded to my emails with his advice very promptly.
It's a great flying little DLG. I used a Radiomaster ER6GV receiver, 2x KST X06 and 2x Dymond D47. Balanced out perfectly at 117g with a 380mAh lipo and no additional nose weight. I have one steel and one nylon screw holding the tail on to adjust the CG ever so slightly forward.
Servo positions were inverted, with the heavier flap servos forward and the servo brick was pushed as far forward as possible, while still allowing for battery removal. I used 1.8mm carbon tubes for the flap pushrods, and left them floating as opposed to the provided steel pushrods inside ABS tubes. Stiff, light, no flutter but also no drag in the linkages, so the flaps have excellent centering.
Servo connector pins were removed from the Rx, servo leads were shortened and soldered directly to the Rx PCB, which saved about 4g.
This model is sensitive to CG changes and requires high quality servos to fly well. I can launch it to about 50 meters and it floats amazingly well with camber, and zips around the field with reflex. It really is like a little NRJ.
Quick shipping! Excellent servos.
Cheaper than MKS HV4070, cheaper than KST X06, but really just as good. Bonus, the pulley for KST servos also fits these servos. I have them in an NRJ, a Strike 3, and a Deviant. Excellent performance on 1S HV Lipo. No double centering in any of them, would recommend to anyone from sport flyer to competition pilot.
I installed one of these in a TopSky 2.0 Disser - it's a huge upgrade from the one included with the kit. Highly recommend for upgrading an older model or a DIY airframe. Strong, lightweight, comfortable. All you could ask for in a throwing blade. It also looks pretty good, too.
I got a standard layup version, and it built out to 230g exactly. The molding is of exceptional quality, the paint on the wing is beautiful, fit and finish between wing and fuse is tight and the model launches to the moon. It was very easy to build, following the provided instructions.
Neil is great to work with, and shipping from UK to US was faster than I expected!
Excellent service as usual.
It’s been a couple of months since I built the introduction, but I decided I needed to write a review as I am so happy with it!
First off I ask for Neil’s advice for a set up to make it climb vertical so you can get up there faster, and wow, it’s like a missile! Flying wise it’s smooth in the turns and turns slowly without using too much rudder. Thermal wise as it’s so light it’s just floats, you don’t even need to try it finds the lift for you.
I used Kst 06s on the main movement and some cheap ones on the brakes.
All in all building was great fun and flying is even better, defo buy one, ask Neil for recommendations on set up and enjoy!
Hope this helps.
Had a cheapish 28mm motor from a well know brand, never did like the 3 wires going back past the spinning motor in such a small space, so i replaced it with the XPower motor, not only is the very well made but the extra thrust is is well worth the few quid extra.
Untried in flight. Testing out of box, these are very strong and smooth even at 4.8 volts, build quality is high and I have no reason not to buy again. A short servo arm would be nice. looks like good value to me.
Really great product and great company to buy from
They all fit perfectly in my snipe too fuselage.... Leaving ample room for battery and receiver... Plus they have more torque on the 3S battery then the kst 08 on 2s batteries.
Great motor one of several purchase that make great service as usual thank you
I was very disappointed when none of these servo arms fitted on my two DS6100 servos. At first I just thought they were going to be a tight fit. But I've tried and tried and they just wont go on. The servos are fitted in a model and removing them will be a pain. Popping on some heavy duty arms should have been straight forward. I am easily able to get a finger firmly under each servo and press the arm on with my thumb, but the splines aren't having any of it. I'm expecting either the arm or the servo case to split, so I've given up.
These are great blades and as usual the service and shipping was perfect.
The prop blades are nicely made and very efficient in terms of thrust per amp draw with a F2919-10. They do fold back along my fuse but are not as clean folding as the CN 10x6s. Willing to have a tiny bit of drag given the low current draw yet high thrust of these. Perhaps a slightly wider hub spacing would allow these to lay flatter along the fuse.
Perfect replacement for keeping your DLG looking sweet.
Easy ordering, well packaged and fast delivery. Thank you.
Very good quality carbon, fast delivery very well packaged.
Always Quick and good products from Neil and his team
A must have accessory for the Wiki. The wood slugs are a little fat but the plane itself needs ballast. The price pays for the cool laser cut box which is why I got it :)
Firstly my compliments to Neil who I have ordered from for years and has never disappointed.
The wiki build may seem unconventional but anyone with average building skills can make this plane. The kit is very complete but there are no written instructions. The builder should be able to use plans and photos. Some dry fitting and preplanning is required but nothing unreasonable. Laser cut parts are accurate, but numbers are burned outside the parts and not on. After being built the plane does in fact meet suggested build weights.
As far as flight performance wiki has a wide speed range and flies well both empty and ballasted. I would suggest a more forward CG as I have been flying in front of the suggested 83mm. My plane with some full weight flourescent Oracover was about 390 grams and although dead air min sink is amazing, the wing loading is probably too low for any kind of active air. The wing really comes alive with some ballast and in active conditions. Great plane.
Thinner wall and therefore lighter than other 8mm tubing that I could find.
I got the dual sky motor and CN motor mount in the spring. I electrified a "Topaz" RES model built in Ukraine around 2003. I ground off the F/G nose carefully and glued in the CN motor mount. The motor bolted up perfectly. The revised model weighs 42/43 oz and Climbs with alacrity at a 45+ degree angle. An excellent small motor that appears to be well made.

This is my 5th Shaka kit. I have built 1 and given 3 others away as small gifts. My first one went together quickly and easily and I took to the local Hobby shop and the owner liked it and bought it. He sold it to someone else. I have one more I will build for electric as soon as I finish moving. Fine kit.
Jerry K
Just needed a little sanding to get a good fit into the wings.
Very good servos. Low torque but excellent 👌🏼 if you want to build light. Fitted in my 2m RES and are more than strong enough for all control surfaces including magnetically secured spoiler. If used on low voltage and on a spoiler the servo like a small run up before popping the spoiler open so leave some slack!
Awesome model, builds well, extremely well put together kit with very accurate pre-cut parts. Flies even better. A must have in the hanger!
Ive bought models from Hyper Flight before and the service has been great.
Awesome little 1m DLG. Nice way to get into the sport...
8mm received .8mm ordered
after contact to point out mistake correct point eight rod was despatched excellent service
The only problem I found with the mount was the cooling holes are covered by the face of the gearbox I just enlarged them upwards in a dome fashion
The servos fit beautifully into my snipe 2 dlg allowing for a bigger receiver and also a bigger battery.
Absolutely beautiful kit. Laser cutting perfection. Highly recommend. Plane is definitely easy to construct and complete! Hyperflight also gets an A+ for super fast shipping to the USA!
Well packaged, original product.
wings tips are breaking near the aileron servo cavity's inner side
The surrounding of the aileron servo opening needs strengthening.
otherwise it flies beautifully
Purchased this ESC to replace a faulty unit from another manufacturer and so far it is working perfectly.
I brought this servo as a replacement for the previous BMS 105 servo. That got wet and basically stopped working. (Don’t ask)!
This replacement seems more precise than the 105 so that’s all good. I’ll not to get it wet.
Good value for the performance. Ideal for small slope soarers.
I have purchased a couple of things now from Hyper Flight with excellent service and with this new purchase Explorer Q5 received in 8 days to NZ the service is awesome thank you Neil and hyper Flight
Well made bags should provided years of protection and holds wings and tail surface securely
Lots of choice, fast service and delivery, I recommend it.
Perfect bag for my Eternity glider (F5J 4m)
Perfect product. Very good quality. The fuselage is very well protected
good
Great service, tracking was great, package unscathed. I haven't had a chance to get started on it though.
When products such as the CAM unit are not in stock in the US, don't hesitate to check with Neil at Hyperflight! Always great and friendly service, with quick shipping.
Craig Robinson
Fantastic. Quick and easy.
Has always been prompt.
Neil even phoned me on a Sunday morning to solve a problem I had when I ordered the wrong part.
came reasonably quickly, ,pretty annoying [not your fault] the thai customs charged 2 quid import tax, i think its only on imports from non asean countries , if i order againwhatever it is put 1 pound 50 on the invoice not the full cost
No matter what product I’ve purchased from HyperFlight I’ve always received top notch communication and support! Neil is so knowledgeable and helpful! Love doing business with them!
Needed a replacement rubber as my old one wasn't pulling as well. This one arrived quickly along with several other items and was placed in service right away and has allowed me to find tune my launches on my Tetra F3RES sailplane.
Great wee servos for 2metre models, 4 of them in my 2M ELI from Hyperflight. They fit and work well.
Excellent Glider ,
Pity the hardware bits supplied do not match the quality of the model,
When making up the push rods for the ailerons and flaps I had the horn pins of the 2mm quick links come away from the quick link sides twice so to be honest I threw
the lot away and replaced them with Sullivan quick links,
Apart from that a superb model hope to fly it in October.
Happy flying Ray
Good advice, fast delivery to Germany. Excellent model glider of outstanding quality
Good advice, fast delivery to Germany, excellent model glider
Thank You
Excellent product, very small and light. Bought 2 for use in DLG's, they work great.
Same old service, EXCELLENT that is!!!
Thanks Neil!!
Excellent powerful digital servo with no slop in gears. Deserves 5 stars if this purchase had not been made necessary to replace one i own that developed an intermittant fault. Still very highly recommended.
I am very glad I upgraded to the V4 from my Vortex 3. While the V3 flew really well the Vortex 4 is a class above. My launches are higher, thermals are easier to stay in, and I love the crow brakes! The V4 holds energy very well and glides great. The crow brakes don't have any pitch down tendencies. They just slow the V4 down straight with full control of your ailerons. This is a beautiful plane that flies better than it looks.
Shipping was fast as usual, and I will be buying from Neil again when I get into f3 res.

Had a new BNF foamie with optional extras. Had to learn all the newer foam-safe options since my last such repair years ago. Thanks to Hyperflight clearly describing one of the originals and its need for kicker! Worked a treat. Well sticky in a few minutes for tricky positioning, rock-solid after kicker. No damage to EPS.
Product’s reputation speaks for itself. There are no instructions supplied, but this is a model for experienced flyers. Plenty of ‘how to’ advice is available on line.
Dealing with Hyperflight is always exceptional service. The aircraft arrived promptly, well packed in a substantial carton together with wing bags ordered separately.
really nice kit. not beginer friendly but very nice to build if you have a little building experiance under your belt. could benifit from a clear instructions but its pretty stright forward. the lazer cutting was more or less perfect.. maybe a touch of over burn in places but only amounted to a bit of scorching. the online instructions are basicaly missing the most complicated bit but a bit of searching around should help with setting up the controls.. all in all very well made and good looking kit. hopefuly will get to fly it soon.
Ive brought and used at least 10 of these units. They are very small , ideal for small powered gliders or any other model requiring 30A or less. They come with brake on to assist prop folding. They can be adjusted if you have BL heli 32 software on your PC but I always use them out of the box. I noticed that some of my fellow modellers have what appears to be random beeps if you dont activate the ESC for 10mins. This is the Lost Model Alarm or Beacon (in the software). This too can be set to off but I haven't felt the need
I should have pointed out in my above review that the version I have is the Sport version, not the heavier Supersport.
In Doc Hammond's musings on his design brief for the updated Typhoon, he stated that the Toccata would be lighter, stronger, faster, and fly in lighter air than the old Typhoon. I am impressed with the hardness of the excellent finish to the model, and the fus and wings do feel very solid. I also have no doubt that it will be faster. My jury is out on the lighter air flying, but I can say for certain that the Toccata is, in round figures, 200gms heavier than my old single carbon Typhoon, and I very much doubt that putting the tail servos in the radio bay would make that much difference.
Still happy to give it 5 stars though.
The Typhoon replacement is, as promissed, an improvement quality wise, with just a few minor niggles, such as wing halves out of balance by 14gms, and loom aileron leads needing to be reduced in length by 300mm, and though all parts fitted well, i'm not sure why the fus wing shoulder chord depth is a good 1mm greater than the wings, which looks kind of ugly when the wings are taped on.
Assembly was pretty straight forward, though tail servos in the fin was a pretty tight squeeze, and lead, in part at least, to a surprisingly large, almost 300gms, amount of lead in the nose to get a CofG at 95mm, and a flying weight of just under 1900 gms. I am not sure why Hyperflight don't allow for balance weight in their slope model spec info.
I maidened the Toccata yesterday, in less tha ideal conditios, and quickly found that it does not do slow, with several dropped wings, ( easily recoverable), before conditios improved enough to gain height and speed. It then flew very well, with aerobatics neat and sharp with coupled flaps. A very steep dive test was arrow straight, no pulling out, or tucking under, so the given CofG is spot on.
The Toccata is definitely a keeper, and Hyper flight's service was, as ever, excellent.
Fantastic service from Hyperflight once again on another very nice model from Tjirc. Highly recommend.
