In our club, where F3L continues to be very popular, we simply do not purchase any other rubber for high starts. Good stretch according to F3L specs, coupled with high durability in our rocky flying sites. Keep it in the dark between flying sessions, and it lasts a long time. And, as always, great service from Neil at Hyperflight.
Once again top notch service from Neil at hyperflight. Mini dart 2 arrived the day after ordering in as always strong packaging to protect contents. Mini dart 2 was an excellent choice and the components beautifully finished . Build shouldn't take long so weather will be the deciding factor for trim flights. As others have already said if you need any help with order or build Neil is always there with good professional advice . I've shopped here before and will continue to do so. Thanks hyperflight.
The kit arrived very quickly and was well packaged. I'd ordered the wing bag too which was neatly folded up inside the box. Construction fairly straightforward with excellent laser - cutting. The downloadable instructions are very good as well as the youtube instructions via Nick Chitty (Thanks to Nick!) You need to be very careful when fitting/gluing the wing ribs to the wing joining tube and spar in the correct order to avoid costly mistakes! I didn't get the 0.8mm servo doubler sheets or the servo covers in my kit but have managed to cobble something together. Looking forward to flying it once all finished!
Encanto is very smooth and easy to fly. Great performance. Truly an amazing glider. It is a work of art.
I have bought 8 gliders from Neil at Hyperflight UK. The service has been outstanding, with a quick turn-around. This is great company. They make purchases easy and stress-free.
i’m in the process of building this kit. my impression is that it is a good quality kit. instructions are very clear and easy to follow. the construction templates are a great addition and make alignment much easier. if you are going to build from a kit it is recommended.
Bought this kit back in June '25, really impressed with the quality of balsa, laser cutting was accurate and it all fit together so well. I had to google translate the instruction booklet into the English, but that was a minor issue, 10 mins at the computer got it sorted. well written and full size plan easy to understand.
I decided to epoxy glass the fuselage and tail component to make them more resilient to damage., Wings covered in oracover.
Its now October and I managed to test fly the infusion from the slope as conditions were fairly calm: 6 to 10mph. Model flew very well with recommended parameters; CG spot - Neutral in pitch. Elevator was a very responsive but use of Rates sorted that out. I needed some down elevator compensation for crow braking, but this is normal.
Really pleased with its performance. Slow or fast it just did what its supposed to do. Turns really well even at slow speed with addition of a little rudder. Aileron roll really crisp with or without coupled flap. Model is quite aerobatic. Landing on the slope side with crow brake was so easy. Overall, very pleased with the build and performance.
I am using these HV metal gear servos on a Click 25 and Synergy indoor model they provide a higher torque and faster response than the recommended servos they are also 1 gram lighter. In flight the models are notably more responsive than my normal servo equipped Click 21.
The RESilience is an excellent F3L model. Materials are superb; the plans are complete and clear; parts count is low and performance is great! The high quality of the laser cutting will astound any builder. Mine, empty, breaks the 400g threshold in the right direction, but I have learned to fly in big winds with it: simply stick in the ballast pack (available as an option). Under ballast, it goes like stink, as we say around here. The wing uses the same profile as the Purito (among many others), and it behaves well at any speed. This would make a tremendous second build for any neophyte (I would always recommend a wing based on a carbon tube for a first-time build). For an experienced flyer, this model will be very impressive at any weight or in any wind.
Replaced the gearbox motor in my 3 metre Aloha with the XPower F2919/10 light 1480 Kv motor. It's a little heavier but the cased motor is very easy to fit with rear leads. Just screwed it in place and used the original prop and Vitaprop 10x6 blades. Transformed the model which now climbs much quicker - and it's quiet!
great mini dlg but, onely one set of strings/springs/pushrods so if you mess up you dont have a backup, also i dont like cutting carbon fiber peg becouse of health reasons.
it gets dents in wing fast, and the BMS101 servos have a double centering problem in ailerons on my model.
my setup:
glass layup version - BMS 101 servos - xmplus+4ch decoder - 950mah 1s liion(Vapcell T9) - 1S LiPo to 5V Step Up Regulator - magnetic picoswitch.
total weight=157gr.
the build:
- it came with the correct servo bed for my BMS servos (thumbs up)
- watch out for dents on wing
- after cutting the aileron holes inside the fuselage first bend aileron pushrods and glue in the servo bed, glue the pushrod tubes last. (also i used modified z bends so its secure but removable)
- you onely have one set of supplys so get it right or buy extras in advance
- use epoxy
- use closest servo holes for tail, closest or middle for ailerons.
compaired to my ''1.5M hobbyking vs dlg v2''
- MD2 launches a bit higher
- MD2 higher sink rate and it cant go as slow but it can go farther against the wind
My original ADH300 in a X-RES had been flying very successfully since 2019. On launch this September 2025 it resulted in a nasty grinding screech and emergency landing.
Post mortem revealed the grub screw at the rear holding the can to the shaft had disappeared into the motor causing terminal damage. A new replacement ADH300 was purchased with excellent service by Hyperflight. Upon checking the rear grubscrew on the new motor I found this hardly tightened at all. Now loctite secures it
which should be good for many years again I hope. Worth checking yours.
I got the Spada in standard Sports layup. It feels solid enough. Total weight of all parts 1949g. Moulding looks good. Tight gap between wing skin, flaps and ailerons. I will use KTS X12 in the nose for rudder and elevator, and X10 Mini in the wings. Wings are really slim, and on ailerons it's just enough space to fit a 10mm servo. One little challenge is that the pre-mounted control horns are drilled with 1.4mm holes, while standard pin-size on clevises are 1.6mm (some micro files from ebay to fix this).
Impeccable service from HyperFlight as always
First class service by HyperFlight.co.uk.
Extremely satisfied and impressed by how fast my purchase was shipped out to me.
I purchased a Mini Dart 2 glass version. It is a gorgeous model and an excellent value.
Going to take my time and enjoy assembling this model.
Lovely model- genuinely good on the eye- they say that if it looks good it will genuinely fly good....
Excellent service and delivery at a economic price- will definitely buy again for other products. The video instructions are also definitely a godsend...
Whats stopping you...
I've had several Dream-Flight models which have all been excellent, and the Ahi is also excellent. Everything has been thought out really well. The instructions are excellent. If you do what the instructions say, and use the servo/battery set from Dream-Flight or Hyperflight, you can't go wrong. I found everything fitted perfectly. The carbon rods in tubes from the servos to the tail work perfectly, better than some far more expensive gliders. I recommend glueing the tail surfaces on strongly, rather than trying to make them removable, otherwise they are a bit floppy. The canopy is a lovely carbon affair, but of course that can interfere with your radio signal, so think about your receiver position, and check your signal before you fly. The Ahi flies extremely well. It is a lightweight little glider, so of course in turbulent wind it is a bit all over the place in flight - naturally you cannot expect the steadiness of a larger/heavier glider. But apart from that it flies exceptionally well. You'll have a lot of fun flying this handy little glider.
I got the Corsa in Super Sports layup, and feels super solid. (For anyone interested in weights: left wing 777g, right wing 767g, fuselage 296g, left tail 33g, right tail 32g, joiner 140g, small parts 58g = total 2103g) The moulding looks very nice, no flaws. Tight gap between wing skin, flaps and ailerons. (As with most panels it needs some light sanding here and there to make everything run smoothly and fit together without being too tight.) As I want to be able to use the Corsa in F3F, I will remake the nose tip to make it FAI compliant.
I'll go with KTS X12 in the nose for rudder and elevator, and X10 Mini in the wings. Wings are really slim, and on ailerons it's just enough space to fit the 10mm X10 (actually 10mm is 0.5mm too thick so it will push on the cover a little). One little challenge is that all control horns have 1.4mm holes, while standard pin-size on clevises are 1.6mm (some micro files from ebay to fix this).
Impeccable service from HyperFlight :)
Great service as usual, ordered the carbon version and found it to be of very good quality , didn't use the supplied aileron horns , thought them to be too thin , made some from thicker material , used blue bird 101hv on rudder and elevator and kst x06 on ailerons. My first effort in launching gave me a good height and this got steadily higher with more flights , the model has a very nice glide and I am really enjoying my new found skill.
After a long discussion with Neil I purchased this motor to power a Topmodel Thermic Dream glider. The nose is very narrow and suitable outrunners were causing problems and the Dualsky XM3850EG-8 Cased Outrunner fitted perfectly in the nose. It is mated with a Beatles 80amp ESC and powered with a 3S/4000mah Lipo battery. The folder prop I am using is a Carbon 14 x 10. Although, at 3kg, the glider is at the top end of the weight range for the motor I was delighted with the performance. This motor gets the glider to 200m in around 9 seconds and the angle of climb is about 70/80 degrees. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.
I've bought this bag for my Mini Dart 2 DLG and it works well for that. The fabric and zippers seem to be of very good quality. On the back of the bag is a small leash that would allow to hang it from a hook at home.
The only two things that would improve the bag for me were if there were some straps on the back to allow it to be attached to a backpack or to carry it directly on the back like the Multiplex Carrying Bag, and if there were a zippered internal pouch for screws and some small tools.
The Hyperflight Bag is much nicer than the MULTPLEX bag, visually and also with the padding and internal pouches. I'm very happy I've bought it and I've stiched on some straps myself in the meantime, so this review is only intended as a suggestion for a small improvement of an already very good bag.
Ordered this for my Maverick F5K. The original carbon cone was slightly out of shape and the aluminium bolt housing was not centred or properly glued to the carbon cone.
Also, one 2mm prop attaching screw was missing.
A quick WhatsApp message to Neil resulted in Neil sending a replacement at no charge to Australia.
That’s why I use Hyperflight - great service.
Thanks again Neil.
This is something I have been wanting to get into for sometime. Having flown planes and helis for decades I am excited at a new adventure in the DLG scope. I must admit it a completely new learning curve with this aircraft especially the setup in relation to the limited information instructions wise. The team at HyperFlight despatched immediately and the aircraft (being of a fragile nature) was well packed, meaning it arrived safely. Thank you HyperFlight crew, I may just call on your expertise during the assembly.
Top notch!
Dualsky products need to be supported that is spare parts specifically all spinner hardware screws, yoke / propeller hardware metal inserts, need to be made available to customers who may have lost or broken the same, Collets and locknuts need also be made available for lost or broken ones. By doing this you raise customer service to a higher level!!!
Fast delivery to France.
Very good glider, well made, but the fiberglass wing is fragile.Perhaps get a carbon version.
The opening in the fuselage for the flaperon controls is not easy to locate.
CG was bang on 58mm / Blue Bird 101DMGs (not buy there , the qualityis not good : The screw is broken under the head, and one have gap between the bearing and the plastic box, and sometimes it's double neutral. ) / 1s 300mah cell
Thank you Hyperflight team.
