these top gun kits are very good and it looks great to, 80mph out of the box on 4s seems about right :cheers2:

The Parkzone Habu seems to be getting very good reviews, very tempted to try one myself

Didnt realise how much some of these planks were?! £250 for a polystyrene jet!

[headcase]

look at whats included for the price, take away all the hardware and you are getting the lump of foam plank for nothing!

You could pick all those electronics up for just £100 easy.

Get a funjet bags of fun and cheap :cheers2:

Did you actually read whats included, to say you could buy all the electronics (servos, fan ,motor, esc, rx, battery, charger) for £100 you must have a good contact on the black market!

Re: EDF Jets?

Habu - all the jet jockeys reckon they fly like a £6000 bvm bandit..... For £240 bind and fly.

Try to convince the GF to buy it for you :). Sell her on the savings over the bandit or Electra.

Phase 3 F16 gets rave reveiws on all the forums.
£90 gets you the airframe,motor.esc.
All you need to add is 2 micro servos for the elevon mixing and your own Rx.
Then with the extra money saved buy your GF some shoes, that should keep her quiet.:)

:iagree:

I have had 2, the stock model flies really well, just needs strengthening where the tailerons are attached its an easy mod. It does 70-75mph out of the box, takes 3s 2100ish size lipos which a lot of us heli flyers have from 450 size machines. You can buy a new airframe for £35 once you finished smashing it up. They can be modded to be quite fast too I seen a video with one going 176mph.
