Review by: Mike Hayes
Flies very well indeedMine came out about 25g overweight mostly I think because I stuffed in a 300mAH nimh & AR620 rx, but despite that the performance seems very good. I spent a decent amount of time on the wing - the full sheeting and careful shaping for an accurate aerofoil pays off I think. Build was straightforward once i'd scanned the manual and uploaded to google translate, but do check which end of your aileron servos the cable exits from, you may consider changing the default cable routing in the wing for a straight run and to avoid awkwardly bunched cables (v tight space) and/or stress on the cable exit from the servo from tight bends. Other than that, it's a super little model.
Brilliant service from hyperflight too.

Spinnin BirdyReceived this small very well packet parcel from Hyperflight, first class kit first class service.
This kit has all balsa lazer cut precise pieces with very little or no sanding to fit.
Still to finish the kit as work tends to get in the way.
Would i buy from Hyperflight again YES
Hyperflight Thank you

Fantastic service to Melbourne, Australia , thanks hyperflight.
I bought this cuz I have an old Callistic that is still a great plane to fly.....
Researching the build, the manual is in German with the kit, but between photos on the German rc forums and the DS Birdy English manual and very good plans it looks like a straight forward if a little unconventional build, will report back.....
