If Batman was in to RC he would definitely own one of these! While it may not launch missiles, rescue damsels in distress or bring evil henchmen to their knees its still a blast to fly and will have you shouting BIF! BAM! and KAPOW! at your local field.
A brushlessoutrunner motor and propeller have been included with this kit. All you will require to complete this model is two 2.5gram servos, a 5amp Brushless ESC, a 350~500mah 2S 7.4v Lipoly battery and your own transmitter and receiver with delta wing mixing.
It doesn't look anything like epp. I haven't got one, I can only go by what they say and what I can see. Can somebody else who's got one please clarify?
Bought the Bat - have not been able to fly it yet, as I also bought the "suggested" rx/esc/2.5 g servos' from HK too...
The servo's won't plug into the orange 410 rx, and there is no way to get the esc to plug into the rx either!
HELP! Someone has bought this and successfully flown it!
You need to remove the small excess ridge of plastic from the connections as they are designed to fit futaba recievers. Use a sharp pair of wirecutters. You can use a sharp knife if you want but is a bit more tricky and easier to cut yourself, so be very careful if using the knife. Then you have to make sure you connect them the right way round, this is the case with a lot of servos when using jr/spectrum recievers. The small flange ensures they are connected the right way round with futaba recievers. Hope this helps. AL
on the Orange Rx there is a list of what pin is what throt, rud etc. THe dark wire of the 3 wires ( be it black , brown) goes away from the list. We use to say for new pilots, brown is down ( it can also be black) Hope that helps
run two pieces foam from front to back following the inside curve exactly and go from 2 inches in front gradually to 0 inches rear this will create a foil and stabilizes the whole plane then do low passes 6 inches off the ground all day its wonderfull!
from the front tip begin by placing the foam there begin to follow that so it keeps the circle curves but then look all the way to the back the tip furthest outside let the foam take a circular route leading from the front to the rear be even on both sides
Heat shrinking is very very easy if you have the correct tools. Many use hair dryers but they never work perfectly. Get a cheap hot air gun. Then you will never have any problems. I also use my hot air gun, on low, to tighten up wing covering.
RCMANIAA HK has gotten better with parts with over 210 parts listed in Replacement Parts. But NOT that part. Please I am sure you can make one yourself. I hope I do not offend you!!
Hello yes I fly mine on a 610 2 cell you have to get the battery as forward as possible without fouling the motor, it will need a good strong push to get it away and flying but one it has built up speed it flies fine
You can use an 800mA battery , Just flew mine with a 900mA today. just adjust so the CG is correct. I have been flying mine with a 5 x 4.3 gws prop. motor comes down cool> If you have not built the model yet I would add a couple of degrees of down thrust, to counter the tendency to ballon up with the addition of throttle. Great flying air plane I have three more in my cart right now!
There is not much to build. Just take care with the stickers (these are the stickyest stickers I've ever seen!) and apply them before putting the two plane halves together (manual says before in one place, and after in another...) and dont forget to order a spare prop.
If you like it buy it it does give you tons of fun I brought two must buy if you like it tons of fun you fly it people watch it and you feel popular like it soooooooo much hobby king you guys are great
the smaller the better. a micro 4 channel will do as you only need throttle and elevon mixing at the tx. otherwise you will need to fit a mixer circuit.
Unless you have the Tx with a program screen on it then you may have to connect the remote to your computer and use the programing software to adjust for "v-tail" mixing.
Some radios have pre programmed mixes, for example different wing types, normal wing means one servo linked between to ailerons or flaperon is when 2 servos are used for the ailerons and they can be also used as flaps. This is the same with the tail, you can have elevons, V, tail ect this allows you to use preset functions and is available on all computer radios. hope this helps

1 thumbs up!
wow this is such a great plane and there is alot of little tricks to make it even better i cant wait to see what people do with it. maybe a 3s and a 3000kv 2730hexatronic 30amp esc/3bec upgrade to make the turbo bat! well i really want to see a bigger one since ive created a under foil that cures the stabilization pitchyness using two foam rails from 9mm epp! works as a low pass fast flyer slowflyer trick plane dive bommer i can go on! im buying another!!! tommy

mine arrived yesterday great packaging. assembly was easy and fast i used the recommended servos, esc, battery but used my 9x receiver. the prop kept on flying off so i removed it and used a folding prop from a mini swift. the plane fly's really easy just be careful to set dual rates and expo it's very sensitive but man does it fly good landings are a breeze to! im not to sure if it would suit a beginner but it may if you take it easy, the other good thing is you can trace it on paper and make spare parts from depron or other foam..

I would buy another one of these just because they are fun to fly once you get the bugs out.Expo down a bit.Flys great with a 5" prop.Place battery all the way forward left lower side facing away from you.Choose a calm day for test flight.I removed one crown because instructions were wrong about C of G and hinge tape poorly applied.Hot glue gun and some practice is all it takes.Can't go wrong for the money.

Lots of fun for such a low price. The motor came with some sort of 3-pin connector, but I cut that of and soldered it onto the ECS-wires. The propeller broke when mine got caught in the wind and got sent right into the ground, so I advise anybody who buys this to buy some spare propeller, and to stay away from heavy winds.
