C-160 Cargo transport Twin Hercules 1120mm Wingspan EPOS Warbird Transport RC kit. This item was speedily delivered and arrived in perfect condition on opening the box the aircraft is formed from a very sturdy but very light EPOS foam the parts fit together very well it only requires a light sanding to remove the moulding blisters, the fixings and wheels are of good quality. I look forward to finishing the aircraft and flying it. Thank you Banggood an excellent product well worth the cost.
Beautiful plane with two engines. I purchased the KIT version. Some pictures of the 12-page manual.
the delivery time was very fast OPTIMO product! It is beautiful
Actually bought two of these, one for parts and one to build. After looking it over I decided to convert it to a 4 1806 outrunner motors (more like a C130). Used a 4 n one ESC and an 8 channel FrSky X8R receiver. Put all motors on their own channel (can do Rudder / Throttle mixing at a later date) Maidend 7/28/2019 and it flew great. The take off was in about 2 feet. More like a STOL plane. Like Andrew Newton the battery, 3S 1300, went slightly towards the wing cavity. Plane flew at 1/3 throttle very scale.
This very beautiful, if you want to paint it to personalize, first I recommend a soft sanding, very large and with all the hardware of the kit version, clear instructions, well explained, and color. Easy assembly. You'll need two-component epoxy glue, and cork glue, I recommend it for everyone, but especially if you're a beginner in kit assembly and flying planes. Too bad I didn't have all four engines. Well packed and protected, arrived perfect. Thank you banggood
it takes time and it takes a good mood to assemble it ... the color I like ... and the electronics for the motor 2x 2208 1800KV ... 2x esc 35a ... 2x 6045 propeller ... ubec 3a 5v .... battery 3s 2200mah..ok let's fly..hahaha ...
I was worried about the damage, but the transportation was fine. No dents and punctures anywhere. Quite nicely processed. It's a good thing there's a manual for the assembly. I haven't started yet, but I hope it's okay.
Not an easy build at all but with patience you can end up with an awesome model. With the recommended 2208 motors there's tons of power on 3S. Using a 2200 3S battery in the correct location means the model needs a little nose weight to balance, I added 40 grams just behind the nose wheel. This plane climbs great and floats down. very controllable.
This plane flies really well. It is important to note that if you fly it too slow a you are likely to experience a wing tip stall an then the spiral of doom. So long as you keep the motors just above idle it flies beautifully. I haven't given it 5 stars for quality because most of the foam components have mold press marks in them. These are really only minor imperfections though. I am running these racestar 2208 motors https://www.banggood.com/Racerstar-BR2208-1400KV-2-4S-Brushless-Motor-For-RC-Airplane-p-1085433.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN And a mix of EMAX 9051 and these SG92R Micro Digital Servos https://www.banggood.com/6PCS-SG92R-Micro-Digital-Servo-9g-2_5kg-For-RC-Airplane-p-1164389.html?rmmds=myorder&cur_warehouse=CN
The box looked like the postman had given it a good kicking, haha! But everything inside was okay. I think this is a great kit for those looking to build their first plane from scratch. It's challenging, but not very costly. So you don't have to worry about throwing a lot of money away, should things not go to plan. Great deal overall!
