It was a very prompt responseI used HyperFlight for the first time - the product arrived with a very prompt response. I am satisfied with the goods I received. I flew for the first time quickly, it is a very nice aircraft. I will use HyperFlight again if I have the opportunity.

Flipper MaidenBeautiful construction being all carbon. Used four SD100s on a carbon plate to establish metal rod lengths and carbon friendly Spectrum receiver. Overlander 450mah 2 cell fitted perfectly. No instructions but photos work ok. Had to use putty in front to balance at recommended C of G. Flew really well in near zero wind but felt slightly nose heavy so will remove putty and play around with C of G. Used Stiletto Lift throw settings which worked fine. Full flaps and it really slows on landing. Managed to hook one thermal and it took off! Brilliant for the price and next stage up from Elf.
Review by: Ian
the glider was received in a large well packed box a short time after ordering. The all carbon construction is of very good quality and incorporates details which are usually found on more expensive 1.5 dlg's, like the integrated mount for the vert stab and the nicely fabricated pylon for the hor stab mounting. The pod is quite spacious allowing for all four servos (sd100's) to be mounted flat in a row with lots of room for the Rx and a single cell 750 lipo in front. With that gear it did come out a bit tail heavy . As yet I have not had a test flight but looks like it will be a good flyer and very good value considered the quality.
