Good plane. Fairly easy to put together. However the tail boom was off by about 11-15 degrees with the main wing. Had to break it then reglue it permanently to alight the elevator with the wing. Also, the wings are very thin and cannot handle the loading. My wing broke after some high speed runs, which caused more damage. All is fine now with some re-enforcements. There is a warning about going to fast, but I don't know many pilots that actually know their airspeed on the Drift (that limit is ridiculous). These wings should be laminated, or thicker, or have a longer spar. Just fly slow...

Great plane for the sale price. Not very robust in a crash, but that was expected. Need to keep the speed pretty high. Assembly was pretty easy. Make sure your spar traps the ESC wires on the ceiling of the intake tube. It goes under them (install spar with plane upside down to make sure this happens). Once you glue the wings in, you can't fix this. You will need some skid tape at a minimum. Ended up adding a stabilization board. Most people are saying 3S, but I wonder if a 4S would be better. I just don't have a 4S that fits.

Got this little box to help make my plane a little easier to fly. Installed it the same day. It was pretty easy to set up. Instructions were reasonably clear. Flies way better than before. Great board for the price.

Great, huge model for the sale price. This was only my 2nd out of a dozen planes without a stabilizer or flight controller onboard. This was the first one that I've really been able to consistently fly without those aids. Great trainer for unstabilized flight and easy to keep an eye on since it's so big. The only negative is that it was challenging to feed the servo wires through. The prop looks a little small, but seems to do the job. Overall great purchase.

The shipped product was a replacement for the motor on the Mini AR wing and it worked perfectly. However, the product is not the one pictured. The fit and rating are the same, and it seems to function the same. Time will tell. The bell and stator housing have much less metal, and are black. These are not big deals, and may actually be better in some respects, but it is important to know that you may get a substitute part.

Got this as a replacement for the Tyro 129 ESC so that I could be sure it would fit and work without issue, and it did. No issues. This board uses tabs for the motor pads, which is great to prevent solder bridging, but structurally poor. That is why I had to replace mine since one of those tabs broke.

I love this little quad. Only goes out about a mile, limited by vtx, but that is pretty good. This was the first and one of the best LR micros. Only downside is that my VTX antenna connector got damaged when I installed it the first time. So, be very careful. Not sure if it was that way before I started or because of me. Had to order a new one to ensure video worked as intended (was noisy before that replacement antenna).

This looks like one of the best made batteries I've ever bought from a quality standpoint. Nice freebees come with it too. Time will tell if it is any good.

Got this to replace my battery plate for my Tyro 129 (not the tyro 99 as advertised). Worked great. BTW did you know that "tyro" means beginner or novice?

These are great for the price. I had to replace one after a crash caused it to be slightly unbalanced. But a decent motor overall.

This is my second Kopilot. I really liked the first one and didn’t hesitate to get another. I’ve had poor experiences with iNav, and this gets around most of those iNav setup complexities. I can’t wait until ZOHD develops a version with more OSD.

Great little plane. Mine was missing a motor mounting screw (was not loose in package). This was clearly a quality control issue that should be easy to catch. Otherwise, this seems like a great plane. I’m putting a stabilizer. I get the feeling this would be challenging to fly without one.

Great value for the money with a lot (not all) of metal parts. Worked great right out of the box. Have plans to implement an FPV system.
