Imagine someone new to this hobby paying $600 Canadian and doing extensive damage on the very first flight. RC Geek has a video where his son with very little experience flys the Habu and the father calls it a success. But the father talked him through how control the plane and guided him on the landing. The plane was damaged and in need of repairs. $600 for one flight might be a turnoff someone new to the this hobby. However at WIMC we are lucky to have Raymond B. to guide us on how handle these jets.
Thanks John. I saw that RC Geek video and it struck me as a promo for the product. Some of these YouTube reviewers are a bit biased in their reviews it seems. I noticed when his son landed the Habu, it did a good bounce, and the nose wheel was turning loosely when his Dad picked up the plane. Must have broken the clevis pin like I did. Anyway, my bird is almost back in flying shape, will post a pic when it's airworthy. Cheers.
