    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.

    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.

    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…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 👊🏼

    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!

    • @JeffsCustomRC
      @JeffsCustomRC  2 года назад +1

      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.

    • @JeffsCustomRC
      @JeffsCustomRC  3 года назад

      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 😬

    • @paulmilne3038
      @paulmilne3038 3 года назад +1

      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.
