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).

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.

Encanto F5l sailplane for spoiler servos.

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.

A fun and easy little model to build, the kit is top quality and it looks great. Waiting for the right conditions to fly properly but a test glide was very promising. Would recommend.

Excellent service from Neil as always. As previously mentioned the part numbers are adjacent to the parts I guess this is so that you do not seen them through transparent type coverings.
Beautifully laser cut wood and very well drawn plans with all options shown, the build is complex for "simple" model requiring a lot of thinking ahead and working out the assembly order, there are no assembly instructions included and there are a lot of parts, however the result is a superb structure and I only hope it flies as well as it looks.

The fit of the parts is exemplary almost engineered rather the traditional type of die cutting

Some advice about the Dune Freak 1.2m slope glider.

Although I am modifying my kit, (increasing the span, making the tip panels removable and simplifying the fin/rudder shape), I have one bit of advice .

Before gluing the wing parts together check very carefully the main spar depth.

Because if the wood spar is not sanded to reduce its depth, once the carbon spar caps are added, the carbon spar caps will protrude beyond the rib depth and the covering will not be smooth over the carbon spar caps.

So sand off about 1mm from the wood spar depth before gluing on the carbon top and bottom strips.

I brought three of these for an indoor foam aerobatic model, a Clik 25.
I’ve only flown a couple of times so far and they work fine.
Great value for money

Well packaged kit with good quality materials and easy to follow instructions / plan.

Needed additional small Rx batteries for my 2m REs glider that has a very small slim battery compartment.
These were the same as the existing ones on the glider I bought on line.
Arrived safely and very quick from Hyperflight. Excellent service as always

I can confirm what many others already have stated: Hyperflight's deliveies are super fast. I had orderd/paid the Micro Bird o Time plus servos for it on a Monday, and on Friday I already had received it - in Switzerland!

The Micro BoT as a product is mostly just great, albeit probably not for every beginner as the "parts click together - no plan needed" may suggest to some.
Especially the few ribs that take the dihedral joiners are extremely delicate but can be handled well with the appropriately light touch, calm, concentrated mind and accordingly enough time.

My three main complaints with the kit are:

1.) The 1.2mm carbon rods that cross the fuse for the rubberbands o hold the wings on: they were (in my kit) very short. Nonetheless I used them. Lo and behold, it turned out that it indeed was finicky to get the rubber bands on in the field, and I swiftly replaced them after the first day of flying with slightly longer rods made of 1.5 mm iron wire I had at hand (weight penalty of 1 gram).

2.) The instruction manual's description and photo of the high start hook's position refer o a different and very similar looking model airplane fuselage!
I found out that the correct position of the hook is exactly 12 mm in front of the center of gravity (+/- 0.5 mm according to your preferences and taste). Measure on the bottom of the fuse from which you project a line at 90° to the CG position on the wing's underside. The in the manual described position of the CG (center of the wing spar) is spot on.

3.) The colloquially written instruction manual doesn't keep all described processes in order. Not a big issue for the average and occasional model builder but maybe a (minor but resolvable) problem to some (but not all) beginners.

But as I said, this Micro Bird of Time is overall a great little glider, and it was fun to build!

Mine turned out at a weight of 116 grams, including high start hook which is enough to stick on with low-tack 3M Scotch "Magic Tape", separable wing halves (own variation, weight penalty 0.7 grams), magnets holding the winghalves close to the leading edge together (weight penalty 0.8 grams), steel wire tail bumper (own variation, weight penalty 1.1 grams + therefore 2.5 grams additional ballast in the nose required) and "heavy" servos (4.4 grams each) right in front and after the CG, and it flew perfectly straight and level from the get-go, no adjustments whatsoever needed!

Love the plane. I'd suggest you get another Fin as a spare if you're flying the glass version - it breaks on the softest of landings unfortunately.

Ordered my green/yellow carbon mini dart 2 with 4x PTK 7306 MDG servos and other bits needed to complete my build on Saturday, received on Tuesday so basically next working day delivery. Packaging was very good with the extra parts separately packaged in a very thick jiffy bag. Everything ordered was in excellent condition. Not tried the servos yet as I'm getting my head round a new radiomaster tx15 max but they look very well made.
Only negative points which is not Hyperflights fault...
1 slight bleed through on the wing graphic
Launch bar delaminating
It would be nice to have a printed instruction sheet included but these are available to download.
All in all very satisfied. Thanks Neil 👍

I received an example of the APEX last fall, and brought it home with me from Europe. I built it over the winter, and have been flying it ever since. As the happy builder/flyer of several Puritos, I had no issues building this kit. Design changes from the Purito represent either (1) weight savings, or (2) simplified structure. I would have enjoyed having plans, but they were not necessary, and the instructions answered every question - especially after I read them again, only carefully! I spent significant time getting the airplane trimmed, but the process included radio problems. In the end, the airplane flies very well as designed and built. I see it as noticeably faster in cruise flight than a Purito, for pretty much the same sink rate - exactly as claimed by the designers. Handling is quick and positive. The large, late-Purito-derived spoilers bring it down very well. Mine launches right alongside every Purito I have managed to fly with. It's expensive, but I found it an excellent model. If you are a sport flyer, there are other airplanes for less money. If you are a serious flyer, you will want the APEX.

first time i have bought the higher end servos as have an application in a slope wing so was looking for better centering and control. so decide to spend some extra money. as with most slope flying difficult to see the difference in practise although bench testing certainly suggests worth the money if you have a particular need for more precision.

Hyper flight were helpful and provided very fast delivery. The Mini Dart looks very well made. Looking forward to flying it.

Apologies - they are actually fleece lined as pix.

I purchased a set for my Willow 2 F3F knowing that they would be a little short but cover the leading & trailing edges.
They are very well made with with webbing tape sewn-in on the edges and thick silvered bubble wrap inside and out. Much better than home made!
Great service from Hyperflight once again - dispatched super well packed as always and arrived next day!

Perfect size for F5J planes, and excellent quality. Service from Hyperflight was exceptional as usual. Thanks again Neil.

-12C over here, so no flying comments. But quality built is great.

Great upgrade to ageing MKS DS65K servos

Tks to Neil for supporting our hobby with quality products

Unlike the photograph my model had an all flying tailplane. I cannot fault the kit but in a steady decent it developed tailplane flutter resulting in the model becoming rapidly uncontrollable flying straight into the ground. It is well beyond repair.
I hope the fixed tailplane and elevator as shown on the website, resolves the problem
£400 a fair amount of time absolutely wasted.

Neil was very knowledgeable and helpful when I contacted him for advice for purchasing this battery for my micro sinbad glider. I’ve purchased kits before from hyperflight which have been of high quality and delivered quickly- great supplier.

Covers required for an older model, these fit well and look good, and are nice and thin.. The carbon look suits the dark blue underside, I have large servo wells so I needed 1 cover for each servo, for smaller sizes it will cut it 2. Speedy service as always

As always a pleasure shopping at Hyperflight to receive top quality products

As always a pleasure shopping at Hyperflight. I have had a number of these blades and they have stood the test of time in service.

Good products, fast service.
