This is an incredible plane to build and even better flying

Made a electric Fuselage for my Purse V2 used one the light weight motors and it flying as well as I hope it would

HyperFlight have a good selection of products, great prices and very good customer service. Will definitely recommend them 👍🏻

I never received the product hyper flite tried to get me to pay there teriff

Superb little battery, great for gliders mainly the size and safer than lipo

Looking forward to building this. Advice and service was top notch. Bought this for pleasure flying but I liked the look of the instructions and the fact the plane is described as suitable for wind and calm conditions. Excellently packaged 👍

Wish I had read other reviews before building mine as for me both 4 pin connectors were wrong and I only noticed after I had glued them in !
One with incorrect pin outs, broke it getting it out again. (VM made me pay for a replacement despite it being their mistake) and the other 4 pin harness had a broken wire making me think I had a defective servo. Purchased another servo and that did not work either which led me to find the partially broken wire (not visible) . Servo tray took some filing to fit. Crimps missing from kit. One wing flap had fixable break.
Not as great as I expected from Vladimir Models and for the price.
Neil was / is great
Alex from VM helpful, but charged.

As usual, quick service and quality product.

Nice quality and brilliant service from Neil

Good kit, good quality balsa, fun to build. Amazing service from Hyperflight, already had 3 kits from this shop, the last one took 3 days to be delivered to Australia! Better then local post for sure.

Bought the fibreglass version once I broke my Dream Flight Libelle from overly enthusiastic launches. Used all the dream flight servos, but changed the battery to a lipo. Flies great, launches great, love it. Fast delivery, very well packaged/protected.

Really enjoyed both the build and the flying, built as a pure glider AUW at 100g. Came with a thin lightweight covering ideal for this model. Self jigging kit is really good. Only my second ever build, but very approachable. Tow hook and hi start are great to launch to around 40m so far.

Everything regarding this experience was perfect. The glider is beautiful and was shipped super protected in a very sturdy cardboard box full Of bubble wrap. Shipped in less than a week from the UK to Seattle. The Strike is not frequently available and I picked the first I found at Hyperflight. Excellent experience will
Order again.

Great servos, been using standard x10’s for many years, will be using these from now on.

Great tool, easy to install connect and program.

Great bag good padding strong fabric, I have a number of these now and all lasting well.

excellent quality delivered quickly

I’ve just re-checked the stock and Neil does have a 34mm yoke. My mistake. As I wrote earlier the 36mm yoke is fine but the 34mm would have been even neater

Unless I’m mistaken, GM do not do a 34mm yoke, which would have been a better fit. However still does the job well and Neil’s service is always 100%.

Nice quality and brilliant service from Neil

These do the job but I have had to be very careful to tighten as I lost a complete propeller assembly mid air which worked loose over a couple of years. I will now regularly check to avoid a repeat

As usual, quick service and quality product.

Perfect servos for lightweight models. No slop and very good centering. Also high torque for such a small servo. I will never go back to cheaper servos for models I really care about, its just not worth it especially after spending many hours building.

A really nice covering to use, very easy to apply, and inexpensive! It will not distort quite flimsy structures and the iron temperature seems to be non critical. It’s a great pity it’s not available in colours. It takes rattle can paint really well, BUT, don’t expect to be able to use masking tape over the paint!

Excellent service, Excellent spinner 👍

Good quality tube, came quickly

Excellent service as usual from Neil and the team, ordered Thursday arrived Friday. Product looks good quality, for the price

Impressive lightweight snakes / Bowden cables .
With appropriate end linkages included .Pizza box delivery carton works well .

As always item arrived quickly and well parked. These were purchased for an old FVK K2 light, cut to size and looked great !

Received package of Libelle from Hyperflight promptly, BUT wife took charge of it as was not my birthday yet…However based on a check of the kit on arrival and other reviews, I am more than confident Libelle will not disappoint ….Sadly birthday another 8 weeks away….

Fast shipping and great service from hyper flight. Great motor that delivers smooth power curve

Excellent product which arrived very promptly to my door in NZ. Using with Armsoar powertrain with 3s in a Medina. Hyperflight is always great to deal with.

These bags are great. I use them on all of my 2 pcs wing F3L models.
Sturdy and very well made. The wings fit nicely without any binding.
Well worth the money!

Super lightweight. Voltage telemetry works with FrSKy, easy to program.

Very good servo centres well no issues Always good service with Neil

Excellent product. Minimal fettling required of roots of prop blades. Easy to fit and remove. Expensive, yes, but better than the RFM equivalent.

Superb product. Build calls for some imagination.
Shipping to New Zealand prompt and reasonable price.

It works. Without a bolt, it has backslash of about 0.3 mm at the end of the arm. The original plastic arm (of the same length) has a slightly smaller backslash (about 0.2 mm).

Headline: A Masterclass in Product and Process
I rarely find the motivation to write reviews, but Hyperflight has earned an exception. From a delivery that arrived the following day to communications that are refreshingly efficient, the entire transaction was seamless.
As for the Magnus itself, the quality is outstanding. I’ve built mine with a ballast tube enabling a total of 500g of ballast which proved its worth during a maiden flight in 40 mph coastal winds. The model handled the conditions with absolute composure. If you are looking for a high-performance slope soarer backed by a supplier that actually understands the meaning of "customer service," look no further.

As a returning customer, very quickly posted as usual. Nice small servo with metal gears and plenty of power. Thanks Neil

Malfunction due to vibration. ( lipo-1S )

Easier to fit prop blades with less fettling than the RFM equivalent. Not offset, but fits nose perfectly for Robbe Amplitude. Uses collet (separate purchase) and single hex head screw. Removes easily. Very pleased overall. Excellent speed of delivery. Will buy again.

There’s no build instructions. Gotta go off build logs from the internet. Big bummer

These little nicely produced and rather powerful servos work flawlessly in the Micro Bird of Time with which together I had ordered them. They come with all it's necessary tech data and exact dimensions printed partly on the box and partly on a seperate sheet in the foam padded box.

The package with all arrived (here in Switzerland) the Friday following the Monday on wich I had placed the order.

Unfortunately these Blue Bird servos are right now out of stock (as it seems for a good reason). Hopefully Hyperflight can re-stock them soon!

If you want a micro servo with high torque then this is the one. I use it on my RC steam locos to control the regulator (throttle). You can even get an aluminium arm to replace the flimsy plastic one that comes with the servo. Worth the money compared with cheaper options. It has metal gears rather than plastic and you can get replacements if necessary. Hyperflight are a fantastic seller of these.

Thank you Neil, all sorted, lovely glider and top service.

I ordered 4 pairs of the Daulsky 8 x 5;5 folding prop blades. They arrived very promptly and very well packaged. They look very good quality, fitted perfectly. I haven't had chance to fly them yet to see how they perform on the 2 different RES gliders I have.
Thanks Neil for a great service.

I have emailed Hyperflight twice since 1st April asking about the mismatched tail horns and recommendation for an esc, never got a reply and so far still no response unfortunately, so my model remains unbuilt. Sadly my opinions have changed, flight box sticker removed, recommendations retracted, guess I’ll just deal direct with the manufacturer and source from elsewhere in future.

Replied to the customer now. We are very stretched currently due to staff illness.

Answer to anonymous comment
Thanks for the honest review.
We inproved the model on winter of 2025

I keep buying these as they are very good, great service as usual.

Bought this kit as an intro to "V" tailers as I have a Ka 3 in the making....another great kit from Hyperflight and the usual fantastic service. Almost built and cant. wait to try it out.

Wanted one for years fits my xxl Vallenta with ease

Excellent item swiftly dispatched

This is an excellent kit. The wood selection is first class and the laser cutting is amongst the best I have seen. The parts fit together with German precision and construction is very straight forward. Highly recommended. Hyperflight provide their usual extremely efficient service.

I received my Magnus not long after HyperFlight was restocked. Very well packaged, very good quality but still in the box. The next project. Dealing with Neil via email was easy, everything was straightforward and easy.
HyperFlight has become my go to English shop.

Great little glider delivered super quick. Went to together well, weather has kept me from flying it yet.

These are my current favorite servo: small, quiet, operate between 1S and 2S power. I have put some in a DLG, and they are great in F3L. Neil threw my order with an order from one of my neighbors, saving some shipping costs.

I love these servos for F3L. While somewhat large, they don't care what voltage power they get and they always work. Perfectly fine (and inexpensive) for F3L. Neil threw them in with an order from a neighbor, saving shipping (except for tariffs, of course).

Neil very kindly included my order with a neighbor's order, and it came in perfect shape. This is exactly what I have been unable to obtain locally.

great servo F5 res glider

Was considering one of these for a while, but wasn't sure after being disappointed in the quality of the paint on my TJIRC Screamer (not purchased from Hyperflight) - the paint was very thin on the colour. So I Ummed and ahhed for a while, but when these came back in stock I decided to go for it. Well the quality of the paint on my Orange carbon version is superb, with deep luscious paint. So I'm very happy with the purchase and the usual great service from Neil's team. As the heading suggests, this is a glider I plan to carry on a motorcycle as it breaks down very compactly.

this kit was one of the best i have built for a long time.everything fits and is simple to build.it took approx three evenings to build the airframe,and a couple of evenings to cover it (english instructions are on the german site for downloading)quick delivery as well!

I've fitted the Tenshock GDM1520B motor into a Tangent Kult 3.4m, 3kg(ish) glider with a GM13x8 prop - testing looks very promising.
Now to test fly! Excellent value

As all the other reviews mention great quality. I bought this for an Inside F5J and it fits fine except the horizontal stab is too long to fit in the pocket. Not a big deal as there is plenty of room next to the wings. There is one thing about these bags to carefully consider. If you put the fuselage in the outer sleeve then the fin sticks out past the bag and is totally unprotected. You have to be careful carrying the bag around you do not catch the tail on something and chose a storage location where the fin will not be damaged. Overall very nice.

strong just as good as an alloy one .

good blades

Just as described , the grub screw fitting is better than the collet type.

Quick service from Hyperflight. I have not used the switch yet, but the previous pico switches I have used have been excellent

Excelent quality, fast shiping

Ordered a carbon Mini Dart 2 together with servos and a 1s lipo from Neil at Hyperflight which arrived in less than 24 hours in a sturdy box with the components well packed and in perfect condition. Excellent service from Hyperflight. This is my first composite model and the quality of the components is impressive.
Using the downloaded instructions plus tips from on line forums the build went well but with only one of each of the small assembly components the “measure twice cut once” advice holds strong.
Very happy with the finished model, just waiting for some calm weather to give it a maiden flight

Good kit, good balsa, acccurate cutting of all parts and easy assembly. Very quick shipping.

Great little motor and exceptional service from Hyperflight again.

Any time I am looking for a part for a model, my go to website is Hyperflight. Neil always seems to keep good stock and his service is second to none. I live in Australia so postage rates are important. Neil always gets a good price.

the cost differential between mks and other servos seem less so trying out the more expensive. the centering is excellent

Impeccable service by Hyperflight as usual, I always recommend them.
E Kite is my first foray into the small 1.5m models, it appears well made and finished, better than some of my bigger stuff. I started the build this weekend using the downloadable instruction sheet, but fell at the first hurdle, the 2 glass tail horns provided are different styles, one slotted to allow pull string disconnection and the other just a hole, I have bonded in the slotted one to the elevator to allow removal of that and considered cutting a slot in the rear of the rudder horn but there’s little meat on it so it may become too weak, I’ll have a think before bonding it in and progressing further, maybe the designer intended it that way. A bit disappointed so only a 3 star for potentially poor quality control.

First F5L model I've built, although I made some mistakes in the building the model is now flying beautifully. I initially went with the DYS D2225-19 and the VitaProp 8x4 on a 3S setup, it's fine, but I wanted a bit more speed to get around the sky and the DualSky 8x5.5 was perfect. It still climbs well, but also gives the model a bit more speed.
The model flies well and responds to lift well. I got 200mm of 10mm brass rod cut up into 30mm lengths to use for ballast (complete with wooden spacers). the total weight of the cut up brass is about 120g.
The thing I'd change is I'd probably have a slightly larger fin/rudder to have more authority at low speed.

Totally unbelievable: I ordered two new sets for a dead-stick landing that stripped the servos and they arrived within 20 hours!! Had the model ready for the next flying session. Thank you so much.

Nice servos, aluminium body with metal gears and a high torque. Had a faulty one which Neil changed without question, so he's gained another customer for my future purchases, see my other review.

Well made battery and does its job perfectly, only slight niggle is that the balancing wire is short but maybe a good thing as an extension lead can be used to charge without having the weight in my glider

Stunning quality of foam moulding with no rectification or adjustment needed.Instruction booklet simple to follow. Buy a reel of Blenderm tape whilst you can if you wish the tail to be demountable. Delivery is rapid, and if you have the flight pack, that’s in there too. Great service, great product, great fun….

Everything fits and weights achieve correct balance point. No fuss at all, would recommend totally. Rapid delivery as always.

Great servo

Very god propell

The fin itself could be a bit stiffer. The slightest impact sideways bends it and de-laminates the glass from the core.

These servos are excellent.
My first review of this servo was wrong as I thought i was reviewing the CHA HV06.

I have had four of these and am not happy. Three of them had twitches and binding noises through there travel. One was so bad it fluttered through its travel uncontrollable.

Good quality product, although I really wanted an e-kite one but cannot find one anywhere.
I needed to drill the hole for the fin and modify the 2 countersunk locating lugs but it working ok

Great delivery and packaging
Superb product

VERY PLEASED TO HAVE THIS AGAIN AFTER LONG WAIT FOR REPAIR OF FUZ, WHEN IT WAS OUT OF STOCK FROM SUPPLIER FOR A LONG TIME. THANKS NEIL.

I hate giving reviews, but feel this company is worth it as this is how on-line shopping should be, very fast response when ordering, fast putting order together and items are shipped the same day. Usually arrives next day but this is out of their hands once the order has been posted.
Always answers the phone promptly and sorts any problems out without issue.
All in all a 5 star service and I will certainly feel confident to use again when I want anything.

Although not purchased through HyperFlight (lots of other stuff is), my Stadard layup Cayley (weight 1270g RTF) is excellent in calmer conditions. The Light layup version could be even better. I have been flying mine in NZ for 6 months and it behaves well. It compares well with my 1380g Sensor which is also good in windier weather. The well printed servo tray and 2 part fuse work well. Also the built-in wing servo mounts and IDS linkages are excellent. All F5J models are quite costly but I have had hours of great flying with the Cayley, so compared to your average NZ$800 foamy they are good value.

This assembly for folding props is very well engineered, the staggered prop pivot arms allow the prop blades to fold flush the the fuselage sides - a well designed and implemented feature.

Bought this for my Genteel Lady, the perfect match for the tmotor f1404, full throttle is not needed, it nearly flies vertical on 2s, very impressed with the power from such a small package.

Bought this for my Genteel Lady with the Sugar glider prop, full throttle is not needed, it nearly flies vertical on 2s, very impressed with the power from such a small package.
