Hobbyking EDF Jet Review Notes:
Pros:
- The HobbyKing Flycat feels rock solid while handling it
- It has a Beautifully vibrant color scheme
- Lots of power from the 70mm EDF Fan unit
- Rock solid ball link connectors
- Quick and easy assembly and radio setup
- Optional Retracts via foam cutouts
- It takes the same batteries I use in my E-flite Viper & Avios Spitfire
Cons:
- No RC Plane lights
- Any plane that requires glue gets a con from me, but it really was very easy & intuitive.
"When you want an EDF that will fly fast then the H-King Flycat will meet your need for speed. This superbly designed plane is built to fly. Don’t worry about not seeing it as it zooms past as it comes with big bold colorful stickers to make it stand out in the sky.
The Flycat is made of strong EPO so it will take a few hard knocks. No need to worry about getting off on a runway as this is a brilliant hand launcher that is also easy to land. The pre-installed 70mm 12-Blade EDF runs on large 6S Lipo batteries for extreme power and lightning-fast speed and provides that super realistic sound that everyone likes on those high-speed passes. It also comes standard with metal-geared servos to ensure you complete all those extreme maneuvers.
It is an easy build as the tail boom and wings plugin. This also makes it easier to transport. The big battery hatch provides easy access to the electronics and a large battery. This is fun flier for the intermediate to advanced pilot.
It’s time to get leaping into the sky and do some extreme flying with your H-King Flycat.
