Once again Hyperflight sorted my Christmas panics with an online voucher. Easy to order and so well received! Thank you.

My 1st geared drive. Fitted 3850 Kv motor to TJI-RC Screamer. 14 x 9.5 graupner prop. 1700gram glider pulls unlimited vertical, quick enough for me. 3s 2700mah lipo. 45amps at 11 volts. Currently looking at some GM 14 x 10 f blades. Only had maiden flight so far. Hyperflight service excellent as always.

I recently used these to mount my LV06H servos for spoilers in my Antares Lite F3L.
Worked perfectly without any issues.

I recently used these for the rudder/elevator servos in an Encanto F3L sailplane. A little trimming to the frame as it's a very tight fit and not much room in this model. I keep these on hand for my FRES builds.

I use quite a few of the KST X06 series servos and these frames are awesome in F3L/F5L models. I always buy a set or 2 when I make an order. I would rather have them on hand when I start a build. !!!

These frames are awesome. I've used them now in 2 Encanto F3L sailplanes for spoiler servos. I've also used them in a Magic 2 F3L standard when I converted it from cable operated to servo operated spoilers.

It's winter in Minnesota so It will be a while before I can try this unit out. I'm very sad that they are no longer being made. But on the brighter side, They came super fast and they look perfect. I have no doubt that will be fine.

Bought to install in my new Slite f3RES glider. It fits well into a restricted space and should hold sufficient voltage for at least two or three hours flying. Also it's very cheap!

Bought as an f3 RES model but I wanted to keep it cheap, so didn't go for the 2s lipo and expensive High Voltage servos option; instead I designed it around a 700mAh Hyperflight NiMH battery with 2 x EMax ES08MAII R/E servos, plus an EMax 9052 MD for the spoiler; all less than £6 each. This required a very easy modification to the nose to widen it by 3mm, so I made a 3mm wider R9 front former which slightly splays the nose from the servo tray, allowing easy fitting (and removal) of the battery. It's also necessary to make a slightly wider piece of top and bottom sheeting from 3mm balsa. The hatch and everything else remains as per the kit. The holes in the servo tray need to be opened up slightly to fit the servos. Apart from that it was built exactly as the instructions. These are in German but the English translation is adequate if you've built anything like this before. The wing construction is built over a sacrificial balsa template, rather than conventionally over the plan, which ensures accurate alignment but is finicky, as the break-off tabs on the wing ribs can easily be broken off early during construction if you're a bit heavy-handed! I'm not keen on the single spoiler design but will see how it goes. I've used a slightly heavier but much cheaper covering than the usually recommended Oracover light to save money. The model has turned out at 490g, which is heavier than expected but balances perfectly with the NiMH battery without and extra lead in the nose and will be perfectly OK for UK conditions.

Small problem with mine Quickly resolved by Neil

So I ordered it and it came to the US quick but got caught up in some new customs requirements so it was sent to Honolulu,HI. Not sure why but took an extra week.
Got the plane and its beautiful. Couple of dents in the wing but nothing terrible. Didn't think anything of it for a couple days but finally had a chance to check for parts and found out the peg was missing. Yes, I looked all over thinking it dropped somewhere but no such luck. Contacted Neil and he wanted me to order something else to get the peg sent with it. Reluctantly did so and still waiting for it due to Christmas shipping woes.
The instructions are a little vague for a first time DLG builder. I've been building for over 40 years and had to ask many questions. Don't recommend using CA for anything. 30 min Epoxy seems the way to go. Don't mess up cause there are no extra parts. The tiny push rod housing for the ailerons make sure you leave enough for the little pieces glued to the center of the servos for the tail surface pull strings. Some of the DLG build videos have been somewhat helpful.

Work great!

Works like a charm

Great product, much better than kit supplied. Carbon fibre, look good, great finish and easy to install.

Service from Hyperflight great as usual.

Given 4 stars for the kit as there was a few issues:
* the balsa sheet containing the laser cut trailing edge parts was too short, so there was a bit missing from them - I had to add a little bit of scrap balsa from the sheet to correct the effected parts
* the centre sheeting only just reached rib 6, so there was minimal contact - corner of sheeting to corner of rib rather than the sheeting laying on the rib fully
* the servo reinforcing plate doesn't sit low enough, causing the balsa centre sheeting to slightly bulge up above the trailing edge - so I thinned the centre sheeting in the area of the servo plate so it laid level and flat.
* no servo hatch covers were supplied, so made my own

Not flown yet, but sure it'll be great based on videos I've seen.

Purchased because I wanted a few gliders that I could carry in a backpack on one of my sports motorcycles and the SOAS looked a perfect candidate.

I'm finding that British conditions very rarely allow me to fly my lightweight gliders and find that 9 out of 10 times I end up flying with ballast. Haven't used this set for my Yoda yet, but a test fit shows these are a perfect fit.

Builds into a very nice representation of the original, and flies well. I'm very happy with it. Four rather than five stars because in my example the laser cutting wasn't perfect, but my sheet wood was quite hard albeit light. Nothing a bit of time with a scalpel wouldn't cure.

I have used Hyperflight a couple of times in the past. They have always been VERY EFFICIENT, polite and helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company, and I will be using them in the future.

Arrived in good time and as described and pic, works well with the switch I needed it for.

Service from Hyperflight was excellent as usual, but 'DHL ecommerce' as a courier is rubbish. Due to our close proximity the parcel arrived at my local delivery in the Monday evening you sent it but because it was a 48hour service they deliberately kept it at the depot until the Wednesday when it was put on a van that travelled around all day and reached me at 5:12pm which is another day lost. 3 days in total :-(
I think you should change your courier, Royal Mail 24Hr tracked is excellent and DPD are pretty damn good as well.
Merry Christmas, Steve

I have used these servos on two of my planes, an NG2 and also a Syhawk Res glider for flaps, and spoilers. The servos are superb, fast, powerful and very low slop in the gears. I also used the fuz version for my Ailerons Rudder and elevators.

Have not touched a balsa kit in years. 3D print stuff now a days.
But this is a great little kit. All lazer cut and very precise. Just about finished the fusalarge and has gone well. Wings I'm sure will be just as easy. Watched a couple of build videos, but not found one for servo installation!!

Well packaged and fast delivery. Excellent and knowleagable source fior these hard to get components. Recommended.

Hi. Bought these 40 mm control rods as I am restoring an old RC helicopter and couldn’t find original maker parts. These are excellent and perfect for the job !

Unfortunately it hardly fits into the Purito. The nose of the E Purito needs to be modified. The reason is that the wiring is on the side of the engine instead of being behind.

have sealed gaps using various techniques and have to say this is as good a way as any - easy to apply, transparent appearance, has just the right amount of stiffness/flex. Used on my emerging Aria. If you are looking to seal those gaps - recommend you give this product a try.

Very efficient customer service and delivery of product. Very satisfied customer.

The plug dlg is nice kit to build very straight forward loans YouTube videos on it haven’t flys and build had had chance to fly it yet mini Dart arrive very quickly and the pub next day from order really pleased having a chance to build looks great though

First time using these IDS system/mounts from Servorahmen. Initially disappointed that they come with no instructions and took some time to figure out how they are used.

The fit of the servo arm into the bearing/frame is a tight push fit. A tip from Hyperflight when using the frames for the KST X08 version was to warm the arm in a cup of boiling water. This certainly made the initial assembly much easier.

In the end for the model I'm building I've not used the aileron/flap spoons. However, the end result is an excellent linkage with zero free play so I'm very happy.

Instructions or a link to such would have made this a 5 star rating.

10/10 for quality
10/10 for layout and design
10/10 for flight characteristics
And 10/10 for neil for stocking such a beauty.

All round an amazing little glider perfect for taking away on holiday as it packs down super small. having the motor means you can fly anywhere in basically any conditions, with the safety of always getting it back home if the lift dies on an unfamiliar slope or cliff over the ocean.

Needs no room at all for launch or landing as it will launch out the hand and land in the hand.

Thank you, Neil.

In response to Rahul's question: these are designed for conventional, not flat-tagged (wing) type servos. The servo tags slide into the vertical slots and then the cover restrains them in place.

Very nice covering material. Lightweight, durable, Easy to work with, and brilliant color.

Flap servos for CCM Toy. Been using these for years and never had any issues. The Pro version I’m sure will be even better.

Fast delivery and quickly resolved double payment error made by me.

Bought to go with a Resilience glider kit but returned as not required. Thanks for a full refund Neil.

Bought as a winter project and a new f3RES model for our club competitions next summer. Unfortunately, having inspected the kit, in particular the fuselage, I decided it was not suited to my needs. The fuz is very small and delicate with only a very small space for the Rx battery. So much so, that only a 2s lipo will fit and then only a 300mAh capacity, without modification of the nose area. I didn't want to buy HV servos for a budget model as that would add a considerable amount to the cost. So, I asked Neil for a return and thankfully he agreed to take it back for a full refund. Fantastic service Neil, thankyou so much! I have now purchased the "Slite" model which is a little more generously sized and accommodates a 4s / 700 mAh NiMh battery with a tiny mod to the nose and my budget servos.

Excellent advice and prompt delivery as always.

I couldn'd find long unthreaded alloy arms for my Savox wing servos. These fitted perfectly and seem very good quality.

This one will be used on my new Nan Orion II glider. Has not been flown yet, but this spinner looks very good.

Very good service. Fast shipping.
Very strong recommendation.
Thenk you so much.

M2 Anodised Aluminium Pushrod Ends for 3mm Rods - the perfect solution for sturdy but lightweight pushrods - great quality and good price Thank you

Perfect for my F5RES and Dualsky motors.
As usual service fantastic and fast.

I use the boom for freeflight, it is stiff enough

This epoxy is nice for repairs

Nice carbon for repairing

Ordered the prop blades. The correct blades arrived (international) promptly.

First class service and advice.

Great product. Enables fitting of the excellent Dualsky motors into 28mm noses. Use Loctite 638 to attach the drive shaft extension. Tried another product and it just didn’t set.

First class service and advice.

Just finished building the Resilience and I really enjoyed building it, super glider and it’s going to be a cracking flyer.

I have built a lot of 2m RES models now and this one is different. The kit and plans are laid out really well, really good quality wood and bits.

Build wise, first off let me start by saying it’s not a beginners model, if you’ve never built before it’s not for you. The wing build itself is a bog standard Dbox wing, but the dihedral joiners are made from wood, not carbon rods. Mistakes can be made at the wing joining stages and installing the top part of the D. The tailplane construction can be tricky as the jig is good but sloppy if you are not careful. The rest of the build is fun and the result is a really good looking model.

All in all, it’s been the best RES 2m model I have built so far. I’d definitely recommend the Resilience, thank you Neil for providing the kit and accessories.

Ordered and despatched on same day.
Received next day.
Can’t be anything wrong with that..!

Very neat spinner. The yoke, collet and pins are beautifully machined.

I ordered the wrong version. These are for fuselage mounting. I contacted Neil who arranged the swap for Pro A s. Great service. Arrived the following day.

Two for the V tail and two for ailerons as recommended by CCM. These are beautifully made. As always great service

All good

top quality item and top speed service as usual

Good quality and price

Lovely little kit of parts. I ordered the recommended servos and that was a good idea as the wings are very thin. Went together OK but a lot of fettling required as its a v.slim fit for everything. Flying was a complete hoot. A real aerobatic missile but slows down nicely with crow. It would be even better with a rudder, but I can absolutely see why it doesn't have one. Definitely recommended.

These are the best props.

Killer!

I had fancied a RES-Dart for some time and had watched some YouTube videos. The box when it arrived was impressive and the laser cutting was precise. I thoroughly read the instructions and started the build. However, there are no plans, illustrations or pictures to help. Some, but not all of the parts are numbered. It took me some considerable time to work out which parts went where. Most of the wood was of a good grade but I found that the leading edge sheeting pieces warped as soon as they were released from their backing pieces, and I had to replace them from my own stock.
Flying: First flights were from the slope and went without too much bother although I had to reduce the elevator throw a little. Trying out the motor was a disaster as the motor kept going to half power and then stopping all together. I replaced my first choice setup with an Overlander 2836/08 1120KV Tornado Thumper V3 – Brushless Outrunner and a Overlander XP2 20A Brushless ESC running from a 3s 850 Lipo. This has solved the problem, and the climb rate is almost vertical.
The Dart is good to fly and very responsive to lift. However it comes down a bit quicker than traditional aircraft in flat conditions. It’s a nice model and I will enjoy flying it but the kit is let down by the lack of documentation and photos.

Excellent service from start to finish ,
Thank you.

For my IOM yacht , works a treat. I can put hatch on before I leave and turn off.

Ordered these servos for my Valenta Carbonara. Slope free gears and centre perfectly.
Fantastic fast service too.
My orders always arrive next day.
Hyperflight are my go to now for anything I need for my gliders.

The product itself was top notch as you would expect from GM.
On a 28mm motor mount the props wrap themselves perfectly around the fuz to minimise drag.
The service was outstanding, they arrived in 2 days.
Couldn’t ask for more!

It's tiny, but works great for my 1-1.5M DLGs. Small enough to pack with you on trips.

I was drawn to this due to the unique design, appearance, and graceful yet agile flights I saw on videos. I knew it wasn't going to be the best "DLG" in a thermal hunting role as it is, to my knowledge, a slope soarer that can also be DLG launched. In my opinion it weighs too much for a thermal hunter. The weight I think comes from the robust construction, which I very much appreciate given my numerous rough landings.

First impressions are that this is a high quality (fit/finish) model. Follow the build instructions (CG/rates/expo) and you’ll be setup for success. This is my first “wing” so the travel limits(rates) didn’t make sense to me. I’m not too proud to admit I made the mistake of not following the travel limits when I set it up. On my maiden flights, I didn’t realize the flight characteristics I was seeing were my own fault due to higher rates than prescribed in the instructions. In hind sight, I was stalling the bird from too much elevon. Upon reducing to the prescribed amount, it flew perfectly. Sort of counter intuitive for me coming from traditional flight surface aircraft.

I have yet to slope soar this, but have no doubt it will perform as it should. I have a lot of DLG flights that keep me excited. My best throw (side arm) is about 30m. It’s not light by any means. Not sure if I just built heavy, but mine is tipping the scales at about 360g with a 2S 650mah battery (48g) and another 50ish g of tungsten putty. The prescribed CG requires a lot of nose weight.

I damaged the original (Slope/DLG) tail and replaced with the E-Alien version and haven’t noticed any negative traits even when DLG launching this. Maybe something for OA to consider given the higher than normal landing speeds that will likely lead to the eventual tail damage.

I would recommend this to anyone that has a slope or dune, but you can still have lots of fun as a DLG, just won’t get the long flight times of traditional DLGs.

I love this one so much I bought the E-Alien also.

Also, if you've never ordered from HyperFlightUK, understand that the order fulfillment and shipping are fast. 3 days from order to my door in the U.S.

Lightweight super portable USB NiMh charger. Excellent…

Great quality bag for protecting your models. It fits one F3F model and then space inside for another smaller model.

Excellent quality kit. Just starting this as a winter build, but parts fit so far is spot on. Taking my time and enjoying it!

Lightweight super portable USB NiMh charger. Excellent…

Great quality items arrived in quick time
Well packaged in tubes i have had 4 items as well also as above

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.

I tried these the first time only recently, but continue to be greatly impressed: quiet, no fuss, good on 1S or 2S, no problems at all. Best of all, a reasonable price. Great service from Neil, as always.

I've had a precious few of these in the past, but decided to commit for my 2-meer airplanes - as spoiler servos. They do the job when the job does not require serious precision, at a reasonable price. As always, Neil's service has been great!

Purchased two and both in excess of 350mA capacity. Well made. No need to pay the extra for Dreaming

Lightweight super portable USB NiMh charger. Excellent…

Top quality parts, they close parallel and the pin engages positively

Looks good not used it yet will be next year now in the Bird of Time.

Extremely satisfied with this DLG. The build quality, the fit and the finish is really well done. Looking forward to assembling the glider and bet it flies as great as it looks.

Fast delivery as usual. I have bought many of the Cam Height limiters for club members as easy to set up for club competitions

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.

Great servo

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!

Axi motors are a known drive to me. This is a perfect fit in a 2 meter warm liner.

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 in anticipation of being able to modify some wooden fuselages

Quick delivery and great little servos

Looking around at some of the building instructions and tips for 2M RES seems much easier to build and modify for electric motor

Great little ESC dose the job nice and small for my Bird of Time with a Tenshoch GDM1510B Planetary Gear 4.75:1.

Very god propell

Great servo

Just got the MD2 in carbon. Haven't set it up yet, but it sure looks beautiful. Got to my door in British Columbia Canada in 5 working days. This is the second DLG I've gotten from Hyperflight. Thanks Neil.

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.

great servos for the price and the power they put out super quiet can't hear any noise from the gear train I've got them in a 67 inch plane and they work flawlessly on 7.4 would definitely recommend these servos for the price and performance can't beat them

Great Service and a Great Kit. Surprised at how short a time between the order and receiving the kit.
