With its huge sail bright colours and carbon fibre effect hull, this is a very striking and fast R/C Yacht. All required items are installed, including mainsail winch, steering servo and all rigging, sail and hardware. All you need to do is add your own receiver and battery! Boat hull is based entirely on a racing yacht and moulded in fibreglass with a perfect gelcoat and enamel painted carbon fibre effect finish. In a stiff breeze these boats can be extremely quick and perform turns rapidly, proving to be very exciting.

Hi, does anyone at the AU warehouse know when more stock is arriving.? we are starting a club in perth and looking to order a dozen or more. if you know when new stock of the phantom, monsoon or legend is due that would be much appreciated:) thanks phil perth
Big question.. no answers.. The Monsoon and Phantom have been out of stock since mid-December.. They don't even have a guesstamation on the product page.. Up until about 6 weeks ago it was saying mid-late December.. ha!. But worse still, the Phantom doesnt say how many on Back order.. but it did some weeks ago (over 10 at that time.) Noboady expects ETA to be accurate due to shipping factors but ,really, the Aust Warehouse does not seem so much an identity but a label, in terms of sales support. They had beeter improve their supply lines as sailboat orders drop right of during the colder months. As far as I know, the Legend is not in the Aust product list at this time.. both it and the Sailor should be.
C'mon HK, put your stock where the orders have been paid for, before you bring another truckload of foamies and lipos.
Thinking of one of these? Checkout http_//shipshape.bendigocommunity_com/ For all sorts of info, advice reports, photos videos etc.. And join the Forum (Aussie based)
Very nice looking model. Too bad most chinese women aren't very big so for scale comparison it does nothing. I assume hight is 1.8 meter total including fin? What is height of mast?
So where in Perth are you setting up the club. Just got a phantom so looking to race after some practice

The Phantom looks good. I received mine in good condition. Needs a lot of work to get it into good sailing condition though. As any sail boat would do. If you need help with any of the HK's sail boats, you can't go past this website:- http://shipshape.bendigocommunity.com/ For the price delivered in AUS you can't go wrong with any sail boat from HK. Thanks HK, keep increasing your stocks of everything in AUS.

You're not wrong Chop, that site seems too good to be true. I recently bought one of these , after a long, long wait (worth it) and although the instruction manual is Ok there were a a number of things that seemed to be needing some help on. Their eBook is well worth every penny, and the forum has a lot of aussies on it that are great to talk to about issues. I'll definitely be buying another boat .. probably a Monsoon.

Received mine today. The servo box was broken loose from the hull so some repairs will be needed. Looks like a bit of work to get it ready for sailing, as has already been stated. Although she hasn't gone into the water yet she looks good.

Quality boat however the sail winch broke after about 4 hours of sailing. I've ordered a new one though. The boat itself looks great and is fast to. I used a battery pack which hold 4 AA batteries and it works just fine. I used fishing weights for the ballast and managed to cram 1.4kg in there. Great value for money, besides the servo, a great buy.
