- Tundra V3 has landed! Get yours here: shorturl.at/iaVDk
After the incredible success of the Tundra V1 and V2, Durafly has decided to produce yet another version with even more improvements to bring the Tundra series bang up to date. The V3 is now a pure 4S set-up so it has power in abundance to make your flying even more fun than it was before (if that is at all possible!). Other changes and improvements include daylight bright LEDs (so bright they are suitable for true dawn-to-dusk flying), a reinforced nylon prop that is more efficient, and better balanced, a return to the classic EPO foam wheels which are lighter, and stronger, pre-installed pushrods, hex-head bolts and screws throughout. The V3 is available in the classic Tundra green and white scheme, or a red and silver color scheme Durafly has called the "Inspire". The reason is that the original Tundra was "Inspired" by the "Highlander" full-size SuperStol experimental airplane.
The Tundra V3 also includes the revolutionary Aerostar RVS (reverse function system) G2 ESC, this ESC offers instantaneous reversing, so there is now no need to stop the prop before reversing. This makes it perfect when using the Tundra V3 on the water as a floatplane, but it is also great fun in the air, and really good for short landings, just ensure the prop is on nice and tight!!
The tough EPO foam construction is beautifully finished, and being "Plug N Fly" the Tundra V3 is supplied with the powerful, and reliable Aerostar 3636-900KV brushless motor, the Aerostar RVS G2 40A ESC, and 6 high quality 9g servos. Retained from the V2 are the upgraded landing gear and fixings, vortex generators, improved wing connectors, and battery tray.
So if you are looking for flying with no limits, then you’ve found it with the Tundra V3. Whether it’s flying from rough bush fields, water, snow, or sand, FPV flying, aerobatics, glider towing, candy dropping, or just good old fashioned super STOL slow flying, then the Tundra V3 takes it all on with ease. Its lightweight yet rugged construction, powerful brushless set-up, and perfectly harmonized design give you an instant feeling of confidence on the sticks, as quickly as it puts a smile on your face.
Simply put, the Tundra V3 is even more fun to fly than previous versions, and you will be flying even sooner as there is now even less assembly on the V3. With either the included floats, tow mounting point, and FPV mount, or with the optional skis and candy dropper, the choice is yours regarding how you put your Tundra V3 to work.
Take on the very best mother nature can throw at you and still come up smiling, with the Tundra V3, there are no limits!

So glad you guys are still supporting this model with new versions. I've been needing to get a new Tundra and now might be the time.
Great presentation Stu! I can verify that it is incredibly well done and works on all kinds of surfaces 👊🏻💥👊🏻
My Tundra v1 is by far the best all round rc plane I've got, a 4s version is a very good idea. Another spot on video Stuart
I love my Tundra. I'm glad to see this model continuing to get a fresh release. I still prefer those squishy foam tires, but everything else looks like a great update for this plane.
I love the Tundra V1 and V2. A great RC plane 😍👍👍👍 Can´t wait to get a V3.👍👍👍
Wow, it's been a while since a new product came out. 😮 The Tundra is really a great product, so I'm looking forward to it. Stewart, please make more new products in the future. We'll be expecting them.😊
.. this looks cool!!😊
The inspire has the exact same damage to the trailing edge of the rudder as mine V1 came with. Guess they can’t get the shipping companies to stop dropping the boxes on the ground tail first.
Stuart, they should have flown you back to Sydney Australia to do the Tundra V3 Flight Review.
Back where it started with the V1.
I still have my original Tundra,,, the Best Fun RC Plane ever built.
Cheers.
I have to be very honest.... I have not buy any planes from Hobbyking for a long long time.... I am going to buy this one for sure... the inspired one looks sensational !
Love the livery of this one. Great to see you landing in water 👍🏻
Outstanding job you did on this one Stuart! Great airplane.
Love the new paint scheme I have the v2 , it really pops with the inspire colour Stuart, I’m so glad hobbyking are back in the uk buddy I’ve already had a few orders and you have been brilliant with my deliveries like the old days so thank you very much ✊ , G🇬🇧 oh I’ve just ordered those wheels for my v2 I have the red white and blue one and they will just finish it off I recon and great flying Stuart ✊
Awesome airplane!! Well done!
😎 Who doesn't love a good bush plane. Got one ordered. + Ballon tires from the FMS 1.3m PA Cub.
I've been wanting the V2 bad, this looks much much better just cant afford it on disability sadly...Nice flying 👍🏻
Stewart - great review as always. Both versions look great with added lights. 2 things I don't care for - back to the EPO wheels(I would need to replace those) and the $250 price. Compared to my FMS Super Cub 1300mm for $180(including gyro), it's hard to justify buying this one- for me. True, the FMS Cub does not include floats, but that's a $20 add on. If it ever goes on sale for under $200US- I'm all over it-LOL. Keep up with the wonderful reviews Stewart.
Nice flight, I'm looking forward to owning it
I think I'll hold out for the V3 night Tundra, HK says late June.
yeh...that bloody ESC reverse feature???... absolutely da' bomb for hard surface runways, EDF craft sans flaps have it made for short landing rolls!!!👏😁🇬🇧🇺🇸🇸🇰🇨🇵🇩🇪🇦🇹🇪🇦🇸🇮👌
Can you share the down elevator settings? tks
Very nice. 742 flights on my V2, zero flown on 3S. Maybe V4 will finally include a spinner?
Stuart....for those that already have 3s batteries..will it still work without any changes?
Yes it will fly on 3S batteries just fine, that would actually be the sweet spot imo, should still have plenty of power for scale flights, May need to change out the prop but that's no big deal...
allready sold out !
Bummer about the hard wheels, the v2 soft ones were awesome. Other than that it looks nice
Is there a fpv mount for this?
HK needs to up their game ! More of the same old thing .
That I can chase ducks in the river lol 😆😆
Where can this plane be bought in the UK please?
Thanks..... Mario
