Nice that they showed the hard landing too. That was a good stress test for the chassis and it probably held up. This is often an annoying weak point in foam models and can spoil your day of flight. To be honest, I'm already impressed by the model. Greetings from Germany!
Thank you, it’s a very well made plane, couple of weak points, but hey, they all have those, nothing we’re not used to, especially with gear, thanks for watching 👊🏼👊🏼
Jeff, that is one beautiful plane. Thanks for sharing. I also love that you have a grass runway, which I am always curious if a plane can handle. It was interesting to see the main gear fold on you when landing, also that was a laundry list of things to check. Hopefully HK will address those things you mentioned. Cheers.
Thanks Pilot Robert, beautiful plane, I think wire just bent slightly, due to grass being tall due to so much rain lately, however fixed easily and was back up in no time, thanks for watching and BIG SALUTE 👊🏼👊🏼
Hi Jeff, thank you for this wonderful review of this plane. Hopefully they get all the little kinks worked out of it. The only thing I don’t like is the gear, they look kind of flimsy and I’m sure that I would bend them. Thumbs up all the way
@@JeffsCustomRC I have a few Avois models and these are usually good quality. Not sure about this one though. Perhaps it was rushed to market. No props available already. There is a problem with the motor shaft (hex) and props (round). If I recall from my geometry classes, this is a formula for failure. How did you fix this? I would love to know. Thanks.
@@LigthningII hi…I’ve had zero problems with motor shafts , working just fine for me, all in all, I think this is a great plane, and flys amazing, thanks so much for watching 👍🏼
@@JeffsCustomRC I concur with you on most aspects of the plane. I am just having problems with the props seating with the motor shaft (hex). I will fix the problem with new Master Air Screws and modify them to fit the hex shafts. I am fairly god at making modifications for my planes. Just though you might have some ideas and that is all. Thanks.
Looks like it may not be the best for grass? Love the plane though! That last landing wasn’t terrible and looked like the nose kinda folded a bit from the grass.
Did great especially considering that our grass which is normally perfect, was long for the maiden, rain here has really kept us from being able to keep it cut short enough quick Enough 👊🏼
Very nice job Flying , Can't wait to see the cockpit Light Mod👍 The question is how will it hold up in the long run? Awesome camera work great video 👍😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✔🗽🤠
Whats yours and others oponion on the nose gear? I've seen a lot writing about the problems with the nose-gear pointing forward, and not slightly backwards...
Hey…I used the admiral 600 with gyro receiver from Motion RC, as for rated and flap settings, I went directly by the manual suggestion and it was perfect, dialed in some down elevator with takeoff (10%)and landing flaps(15%) to prevent nosing up, thanks for watching 👊🏼
What sort of issues did you resolve before maiden? Your steering was no issue? How about the wing connectors? Mine had some issues with wing tip fit-up as well as lots of steering slop - on asphalt it was uncontrollable. In fact I see that yours also has that slop in the nose steering as seen on your second landing. This models as is is not controllable on asphalt - perhaps can do it on grass but the wheel keeps tipping under as noticed on your landing. To fix that you need to take the slop away from the linkage - I changed my steering rod to solid with no shock absorption loop as well as upgraded to a metal gear servo. (Corona 939 analog - exact fit with a small 100mm extension).
Hey…be sure to check the steering clevis, mine was broke and didn’t know it until I really looked and saw what was going on, it’s hard to get to but fixed the problem
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the video! If you are using a spektrum radio, can you please let me know your flap to elevator compensation values in %. Appreciate it.
Thanks So Much for a Great Demonstration!!! Just got mine setup & awaiting a Maiden!? This is one of the Best Planes I've seen by far!? Always loved the "KingAires", and Y'all Knocked this one out if the Park!!!❤️🛩️ Edit: Just wondering how much if any Elevator to Flap mix?
Thanks for watching…if I remember correctly, I may have adde about 6% with takeoff flaps, and appro 10-12 with landing flaps, hope you maiden goes well, best of luck 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Hi Ian, it’s US $399.00 and hers where you can get yours hobbyking.com/en_us/avios-pnf-kingtwin-1700-sports-scale-executive-turboprop-airplane-1700mm.html?affiliate_code=BCXJZWQPHCOKKYP&_asc=3735779591 thanks for watching 👊🏼👊🏼
Hey Jeff, great video. You have earned my subscription and likes. I would have liked to see them put functional landing gear on this King Air. It may have prevented the bending of that starboard strut. Here's my question, do you think it's possible to add functional landing gear to this model? There are many types and sizes of landing gear units available now. I'm wondering if you think it would be possible to do a customization like that. Thanks!
I think it’s quite possible, I do know that the nose gear can be replaced with ether Freewing Messerschmitt retract and strut for a nicer and more stable steering gear, as for the mains, some customizing would be needed but very doable, it’s a great air frame, and flys amazingly well. The Rc jet jock has done a mod on his channel as well pertaining to this very subject, thanks again for watching 👊🏼
Bit pricey for a foamy though it is fairly big I’ll give you that and though I know it’s pre production model but you saying we should check screws and solder joints when we get the production model doesn’t really inspire confidence. I would really expect that this should be sorted before selling them, don’t you? To me the canopy sticks out like a sore thumb from the foam and the landing gear doesn’t appear to be very robust either, that was after 1 flight and it was bent? Or maybe several but it does look that robust. Pre production model I know but it doesn’t impress me much.
Most foam planes these day of this size are far more expensive, I can name many and from several different companies, if you do your research you will agree. There are always things that have to be sorted out with these planes and jets, hence the reason they let us find the issues, which are found in many models that are released all the time, another reason companies send out servos ect. after “WE” the customer find out there’s a problem of even destroy our model. This is truly an impressive plane from Avios, at least in my opinion, considering I own many planes from many companies, none are perfect all the time. Thank you for watching 😬
Thank you for the comments I have maybe a dozen foam planes and yes a couple of them are similar size to this and they were about the same price. One was a little bit cheaper and the other was maybe £20 more expensive. Both FMS models. There are a lot of other planes about the same size that are a lot more expensive I will concede that. I hope they sort out the problems before they sell them. I’m sure they will.
Thank you, hey we all love this hobby and flying, obviously, so we’re all test pilots and, I’d love to see every company get the gear strength up myself, we all need good gear to get up and land on, thanks so much for watching 👊🏼👊🏼
Grab ya one and do a cool scheme on it, I love painting these models myself, wish the could all be ordered in just flat white primer, thanks for watching 👍🏼
New is right and with many issues that need fixing. I have one and know it does not represent past Avios models in quality. The concept was good but quality is lacking here. Poor testing before release. Save your money folks.
BUONGIORNO, IO STO CERCANDO UN MOTORE DI QUESTO AEROMODELLO, PERCHE' QUELLO CHE E' IN DOTAZIONE NON FUNZIONA, QUALCUNO DI VOI CE L'HA IN CASA, GRAZIE!!!!
Yeah…our grass was way longer than normal due to all the rain we’ve had lately, Plane fly’s beautifully though, sometimes maidens are tougher when havin to get everything dialed in, and hey…I’m not perfect!! Thanks for watching 👊🏼

Thanks Dave!! Hope your doing well👊🏼👊🏼
Awesome plane, Nice flight thanks for the info and Video
Nicer looking plane and smooth flying. Hobbyking has some nice functional struts I am surprised they didn't come with this plane.

Nice flight Jeff. Yeah every plane is worth going through to sure up some things.
Thanks Brenden 👊🏼👊🏼
It is a fun flying plane 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Great review my friend. What was with that left landing gear? Looks soft. Big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert

Good flying Jeff. Looks like a good one for folks looking for civilian style model.
Thanks Mike!!! It’s a great

Beauty, so tempted by this as good to see HK getting back into bigger models, I love how scale this flies
Their doing great work..great things are coming,
Wait for it….👊🏼👊🏼

Alright H King nice flying and great looking twin, Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff, it’s an awesome airplane 👊🏼👊🏼
NICE PLANE ! BALANCE THOSE PROPS !!!
FU KENNY 😘
Nice flight Jeff! Love the civilian class! Looks like a beauty. I wish we would start carrying more civilian models. Take care man!
Thank you Todd, it truly is a great made plane from Avios, appreciate all the support 👊🏼👊🏼
Thanks... nice flight review
Thank you👊🏼
Great job on your review 👏 Jeff!
Thank you Victor 👊🏼
Nice flying Jeff, solid looking model, Avios does some good twin engine birds!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Right on LJ, thanks

Thanks Raymond, click that link and push that button 😬
Very nice Jeff. Congrats. Props sound off balance a bit. But nice job, nice big plane
Nice great flying.
Very nice job Flying , Can't wait to see the cockpit Light Mod👍 The question is how will it hold up in the long run? Awesome camera work great video 👍😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✔🗽🤠
Whats yours and others oponion on the nose gear? I've seen a lot writing about the problems with the nose-gear pointing forward, and not slightly backwards...
Never had a problem with it, jet needs to landed on the mains first, then touch down nose, great flying jet 👊🏼
Gorgeous plane and great flying Jeff! Looks like you're flying Spektrum. Which rx did you use and can you give provide your % rates and flap settings?

Haven't ordered mine yet but plan too when back in stock.
Have counter rotating props?
Looks it wants to pull left when getting slow?
Jim
I think there are no metal gear servos in this plane ?
The servos are the HXT 900 9gm from HobbyKing
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the video! If you are using a spektrum radio, can you please let me know your flap to elevator compensation values in %. Appreciate it.
Hi…I believe I have 15% on landing flaps, and 8% on takeoff flaps, thanks for watching 👊🏼👊🏼
@@JeffsCustomRC Thanks Jeff for the supper fast reply and sharing your setup! Can I assume that provided values are DOWN elevator compensation?
@@Big-Hass that’s correct👍🏼

Hi Jeff, just wanting to know roughly how much this model would retail for? And couldn't agree more it's absolutely gorgeous
