The second V4 I've bought. Flown several times now it just does it's job as advertised. Quick delivery from Hyperflight to NZ.
The usual well packed and quick delivery for these tiny, jewell like servos. Bench tested only at this time but speed, power and quiet operation are as expected.
Great little plane goes together in an evening and flys like a dream

Bought this mini battery pack for a TopModel Minus Acro. Perfect fit for it and was delivered quickly.
Pure quality, I won’t have anything else after using GM products, first class products with first class service
Pure quality, I won’t have anything else after using GM products, first class products with first class service
In my opinion, the best looking Spinner by a mile, affordable Quality provided by a great supplier, first class every time
These props work well on our 3m Adventure Travel F5J ships....Direct drive XPower 2915 motor, 45 amp Sunrise ESC, and a 3 cell 1300mah Lipo....1/3 to 1/2 throttle pulls the ship up nicely!!..Stellar looking and performing propeller, like the service from Neil!!
Got these for back-ups for my 4m Enigma...but now....They'll go on another Enigma I just ordered!! They fold against the fuselage perfectly and look and pull fantastically, just like the service from Neil!!!
hello very nice kit complete every thing fits perfect this was a joy to build super nice blue prints that are so pretty you could frame them i have not flown yet but it is ready just need a day i do advise dont buy th blue bird bms 125 wv servo to much slop in gear train i highly recamend hitech hs 65 mg a hair bigger but precise movement did i mention the wood is all top shelf strait nicly grained AAA balsa very happyy and delivered to usa in 7 days amazing you all did a great job an this glider thanks again i am sure that by other revues it will float like a feather
Nice bag, great for protecting the wing
This was my first laser cut kit. I was amazed how the pieces are precisely cut. It was quick and easy to build except sanding the trailing edge was a big chore. I reinforced the soft balsa tail seat using some 1oz fiberglass cloth. Can't wait to fly.
I put it in a NAN Orion V2 and think it’s perfect for this plane. I was having a hard time finding a suitable motor in the USA without a long back order, so I took a chance and ordered from Hyperflight in the UK. I’m so glad I did. The package got to me in under a week which was quite impressive to me given it travelled through customs and across the pond. I rarely get packages shipped domestically in that time frame. I’ve been flying my new model with this motor for a couple weeks now and couldn’t be happier. It’s plenty powerful and I can get decently long flight times with a variety of different packs. Thank you Hyperflight. I won’t hesitate to order from you again in the future.
I really like these being steel instead of handling toxic lead. perfect product.
The parts are cut extremely precisely. If you are a precise builder, it is duck soup. I am not. Don't forget to put in the wing mounts without glue. My Caress pod/boom, without the 64th ply is 10 grams heavier that the Purito pod/boom with ply. Good engineering.
I bought this models to our club for use as thermal traning models and to be able to fly with tranier transmitter.
Tested the first one this morning and I was really positive supriced that it flies extreamly good. Im use to highend models as NAN Q4 and Q5, i can only say that Geranimo 2 is a great step in model and best bang for your buck, so if you looking for step in model that will flies great and will not drain you wallet, this might be it :)
The bulid leavs e bit to yur ovn excperience to handle but just take you time ang you will sort it out.
I fly it with a CG of 89mm and the total weight is about 810g.
Yes even MKS metal gears can break, but replacing them is not difficult or time consuming. (I must remember to put the flaps away before touchdown!
Great servos, great service as expected.
I have so many of these servos installed in models, all function perfectly. Great service as usual from Neil S.
This works very well but is difficult to solder due to the small size. However once done works great.
A relatively steep learning curve needs to be traversed to assemble this model (as I imagine is the case with most DLG's).
But the pay off is a very robust, practical, light, and agile glider. You will be incredibly unfortunate to break this model beyond repair. Mine has been treated very badly as I learned to fly it.. and it's still going strong.
Check my YouTube page (Big Smoke Rc) for videos of the flight envelope - by a complete novice. It is a fast, acrobatic model with fantastic agility, but on a sunny day it will soon become too high to see! It responds very well to a little camber and inverse differential as a 'thermal' mode. It is my favourite model to fly. Very very satisfying to thermal, then fly acrobatics once the thermals are gone. Then the two part wing means it can go in a backpack for the trip home!
I can recommend setting up with strings (fishing braid) and springs, instead of push rods. The tail surfaces are very slim, so take care with the springs. Do not use any sort of cheap 5min epoxy or CA where it will contact the foam cores. They will melt. Use only 'proper' epoxy.
I hope this model is back in stock soon. I would love to purchase another one
Thanks Neil at hyperflight for the great service with some problematic servos. Everything delivered fast and safe.
Cheers!
I use these in all my DLGs ! They work perfectly all the time!
What a pleasant transaction, delivered immediately after bank transfer to Germany . Really a marvelous model, easy to build no flight experience till now but looking forward next days.
These servos is highly recommended. Just buy them if you are going to set up a small DLG like the Hawk. They are strong, fast, light and runs on a 2S lipo.
The plane is of top quality when it comes to construction and build quality. Be aware that you need the smallest servos you can get. My only negative mark to this plane is that the fuselage is so small that need the smallest servos money can buy and it helps if you are a surgeon. An easy way out of that is simply to but the recommended BlueBird servos and follow the youtube videos about building.
And the service from Hyperflight is just awesome.

Really a high-quality wing bag, does a great job of protecting the wing.
This is my first DLG model. The quality of the molding & finish is to a very high standard 👍 The model was very well packaged in a very strong cardboard box. I am looking forward to installing the radio gear & flying this model.
Excellent service from Neil 👍 thank you 🙂
Very fast
High quality service
Ordered Friday arrived Saturday - need I say more!
Thanks.
after waiting some 3 months my fiber glass neon yellow fin arrived, not Neils fault (,covid probs at DS composites ) packed as usual in mega strong box , it was exactly as I hoped, matching the colour design on the Vortex 3 wing & fitting perfectly ,
The built model is easy to fly and the still air performance is good, its second flight when some lift was about was excellent brought it down after 25 minutes.
the only downside when building is the instructions and drawing are not the best.
Having said that it can’t be that bad this is my second kit.
After the usual Superquick Hyperflight delivery, I have to say this is a great plane. goes together really quick and feels more solid than my much loved Alula. Flight report coming soon.
"Highly recommended!!!!
Great service and quality product, will use again
The X-Res kit contained good quality materials and the plan was well drawn. Building the model was not as easy as it could have been. The instructions on the plan are almost all in German and the on line guide lacks clarity. Having built many models and competed at the Nats, My advice would be , get the plan text translated. It would make building much more of a pleasure. I have yet to fly the model.
Arrived on time, as described, sticks well to my 3D printed, lw-pla, model aircraft for ailerons, elevator and rudder. All working well with no signs of tape coming loose.
Item arrived on time, as described, ideal for my 3D printed model aircraft fuselage stiffeners.
Item arrived on time, as described, ideal for my model aircraft push rods.
Great service and quality product, will use again
MUY BUEN PRODUCTO. Bien protegido y en plazo previsto
Bought one of these bobbins to replace a cheap plastic substitute I was using. Bobbin is very well made and well thought out. A little on the pricey side but as with everything else you get what you pay for.
Nice set!!!
Order was received very soon. Price vs quality is not good. Too expencive!!!!!!!
Hi I bought a smile Dlg from hyperflight it arrived very quickly and extremely well packed I used Mks Ds6100 servos and a lemon Rx with a 1 cell lipo the kit is very nice to build your have to think about your servo fitment but got all four on the servo tray supplied I cut the tray in half and took a little of each end then fitted the aileron servo first then rudder and elevator .went out with it on Saturday and had some great flights very smooth little glider launches great and flies great all good very pleased
hello i live in us super fast shipping it was here in 7 days amazing i have waited way longer for things shipped in us also kit is super nice every thing fits very nice have not finished build but close in a week what a pleasure to build and the plans did i mention that they are beautiful very detailed what a deal for 200 bucks i love it thanks again rich if you dont have this glider buy it now !!!
Good for glider wings fast powerful economic and reliable. Fast delivery no problems
Bought the Xpower 2928/8 1380Kv from hyperflight, because I wanted something that wouldn't be a squeeze to get it into a 40mm nose.
I was a little nervous about it being sufficiently powerful, bring only 28mm diameter, but I needn't have worried.
Takes my Arthobby Avatar up at 8.6 m/s on merely a 9.5" x 6 " prop, drawing 33 amps on a 1350 50C 3s battery. Weight 1620 grams. I was impressed. Would no longer consider an inrunner with this beauty available.
One complaint, it didn't come with any mounting bolts, had to buy them separately!
Had to repair my DLG. The TAP resin is a marvelous fluid to work with and is strong together with thin fiber cloth. Delivery due to customs to the EU slow.
Got these for under the wings of my 3.6m Pulsar F3J ship....They work very well and look good, and they got here in California in 5 days!!!
Capitalized on a red HyperFlight bag for my 3.6m Pulsar F3J ship...Glider fits well inside and the service here to Orange County, Ca. was very swift!!!...I'm happy!!
I found these cut neatly, no frayed edges
Great service, great product. Easy to deal with. Would do business again.
Excellent service
Very strong solid plane for a good price.
excellent prompt service (as usual ! ) Can't yet comment on the Alt kit as it will be a few weeks before I start the build. Kit looks to be good.
Received this little motor promptly. Works fine but, in my opinion, the set screws provided are not really long enough, and only have two or three threads engaged. And that's using the supplied fibre mount, in 1/8 ply they are definitely too short
Fantastic F3F type glider. The quality of the airframe is very good. Hardware though usable is not quite so good, you might want to upgrade pushrods clevises and servo mounts. The model comes with no instructions so I started my own build log over on RC Groups: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?4106039-TJI-Tempest-from-Hyperflight-build-log
Gorgeous DLG, superb build quality and hardwares. Construction is straight forward with all the online resources available.
I have several DLGs and this is my favorite. It's so floaty, retains it's energy in my sloppy turns without loosing altitude. Love this plane!
Beautiful quality kit - some experience required to build but looking forward to the project.
Nice to build, good Qualität will fly soon if in Vienna the winddirections next week will bee fine 👍👍😜😜
Very impressed with the Build Strength of the Stiletto. Helping our Ukraine Builders Felt Good too as a bonus. The Saddle and how it integrates nicely into the Fuzz makes for a really nice solid feel. The Fuzz Radius curves have significant thickness to them. So it's no surprise buyers find these models stand quite significant impacts without damage. Usual superb Hyperflight delivery service goes without saying. The Durable Boxes compensate for any dodgy Courier Handling, always a bonus. Build wise, didn't use the supplied metal on plastic sleeve pushrods supplied. A personal choice. With KST X06 Servos for the tails, I went for carbon pushrods in PTFE. Reducing current drain etc. Not the usual Pull Spring system. Lovely DLG. Ample pod room allows for a normal AR6610T Telemetry Receiver too.
Ordered and delivered in about 1 week to South Australia. Perfectly packaged. Fuselage and tail boom is perfect for my needs. Very reasonable price. Would easily consider a second one.. I will be using an 84 inch wing as a thermal soarer. Highly recommended Great work Hyperflight.!
Final flying weight was just under 350g with a 1100mAh LiPo battery. Been out half a dozen times on the slope despite the winter weather in sub 10mpg winds and very pleased.
Yesterday out in a northerly that was forecast to be 10mph with thermals, but was in fact over 20pmh most of the time with white fluffy clouds so mega lift. Lost sight of it 3 times and had to emergency descend. Loops, near axial rolls, stall turns, bunts, inverted (sort of) and good penetration in a +20mph wind.
Set up:-
• ADH330S (21g) motor driving 6x4 prop produces 250g thrust for about 6 mins
• 2 x KST X06 servos for spring and pull to rudder / elevator running in Hyperflight’s PTFE tubes located up front as close to the motor as possible
• Hyperflight’s 11A ESC (2g) no BEC so you can monitor the actual 2S voltage located under the servos
• 1100mAh LiPo battery 11x23x90mm (often used by Airsoft guns)
• FrSky Rx under the wing with antenna exiting either side for fuz
• 2 x KST X08 servos for elevators in wing with a compression contact wing connector
• Fin attached to boom in traditional DLG fashion with a slot / fiberglass / epoxy and a small stub below the boom (rather than the carbon pins in the kit)
Overall very pleased with the end result. Looking forward to the summer on the slope.
Perfect item sent in very quick time ☺️.
Good thinks
Good quality tubes delivered very promptly as usual. As mentioned the ID is Slightly smaller than7 mm so quite a lot of sanding is required on a 7 mm tube, or rod, to make it fit inside.
The GLIDER BAG has a very good design, with the internal division for protecting the wing glider made with ribs and finishing with a delicate coating. My Pulsar 2.5 m fits nice. I had a little problem with a zipper tooth because the bag was folded into 2 parts inside de box packing with de zipper closed. For the next shipment of this product, I recommend folding the bag with the zipper open. The HyperFlight delivery time and service are very good as always. Congratulations
Very good service from HyperFlight. After 2 weeks I received the M.B.O.T very well packaged. I live in Chile South America!! Good delivery time. The kit had good quality wood and all the pieces are laser cut. Instructions for assembling are very short, but good photos. I missed the plain, but on your website, you warn that the kit does not come with a blueprint. Regards.
Economical, practical and sturdy design, straight forward setup, ergonomic !
these are good quality props. not had chance to use in anger. great service from Neil at Hyperflight.
this is now my go to servo. well priced good quality and does not buzz like some! Great service from Hyperflight too!!
Product was exactly as advertised. Cost was very competitive. Product arrived very quickly. Over all would highly recommend.
I did a Maiden tonight with my Pug 2 Dlg. I bought it as a christmas gift from my wife.
To build the wings was very easy, nice balsa in the ribs and smart connection in the middle. I had some problem with the body, the plastic parts that led the wires to the rudder was to narrow so I could not move the wires. In the end I took a ligther and warmed up the wire and put it through.
I have not made any real test with my Pug, but after tonight I know it will fly. The feather cover was very easy to put on.
Sorry for my english
Kit arrived in very short order. Contents look very good quality. Will have to wait for next winter for the build.
Sehr schöner Bausatz alles passt perfekt.
Wenn die Aufkleber dabei wären und nicht optional, wäre es schön.
The Vita prop is about the same as the Graupner prop but much more expensive, so in this case I choose Graupner as a spare.
Great product and Great Service. Neil really understands the nuances and needs of r/c soaring. I live in the U.S. at the foot of The Rocky Mountains . It’s FUN to always get exactly what I want in a timely manner, at a good price all the way from the home of my ancestors in England!
Good quality tubes delivered very promptly as usual. As mentioned the ID is Slightly smaller than7 mm so quite a lot of sanding is required on a 7 mm tube, or rod, to make it fit inside.
Couldn’t get better service. The turquoise springs arrived well packed in great condition. It took around one week to get them from England to Australia.
The springs were just as advertised and work well in my Smile.
Thanks.
I removed no-name no-brand Chinese covering from my 1m glider and put on this new one today. I have successfully been able to save 20grams in weight!!!
First full-house dlg (Elf being my starter dlg)
Great finish, outfitting was painless with lots of room in the fus. Maiden was faultless although I have dual rates on the elevator and even dialed in more as she was a little twitchy in the pitch but that could be my thumbs. In my opinion a great dlg at a reasonable price. Excellent service from Neil.
Quick delivery to nz. Always best prices and max 3 weeks delivery to nz.
These bags are a great value for the money. Very High quality, stitched and seems it would fit most any DLG. I fit it on my NXT and CX5.....perfect. They do the job, look great, and are of the quality that will last.
Exactly 8mm in diameter and therefore excellent for wing joiners
Excellent. Saves on my soldering!
Used these on my bicopter build. They were fast and accurate and did a great job until I had a bit of a crash. Both now have damaged gearboxes unfortunately. I'm hoping there's a service kit!
Excellent service as usual
I like MKS servos for their accuracy an durability and this version is up to their usual standard
X08に最適です。
いつも通りの迅速な配達でした。
Fantastic! Provides great control of CA application. I now wont ever use a bottle without one of these fitted.
A great, fun to build glider and re-introduction to the hobby. I wanted something small that can be flown in local fields. Great service from hyperflight with the delivery. I followed the manual very closely and it went together fine. The CNC cutting is superb! Even though the fuselage pod is "self-jigged" care still needs to be taken to keep it true. The wing went together well, just follow along with the manual. I covered the wing and tail feathers in transparent Oralight. I was concerned that it would be difficult covering the wing due to the small Carbon fibre Leading and trailing edges, but this was no problem. For extra strength I glassed the fuselage pod with light weight cloth and some old SP113 resin. Then gave 3 coats of filler primer, 3 coats of primer and a couple of coats of Halfords top coat, with lots of sanding in between, the pod now looks like it was moulded :-). The weight is around 95 grams. Still playing with the CG and now it has 3g in the nose (too far forward initially).
It would have been nice if some carbon fibre tows were included to reinforce the throwing peg as shown in the manual. Also, the control throws indicate that the rudder is around 2x the elevator's, so it may be advisable to use the innermost hole for the later.
This model fills the bill perfectly as an introduction to DLG that can be flown in local fields/small spaces.
This motor replaces a much heavier motor/gearbox combo in my 3800 Xplorer using 11*6 prop and 4S 850mah power pack. I'm entirely satisfied with the performance. Thanks to HyperFlight for a very quick delivery.
Havent started mounting yet. Service is excellent, but paying by Paypal vas expensive.
I am using this in a 1550g f5j model with 11*6 GM prop on a 3s 850mah pack.
30 second climb gives 300m.
Puling 40amps.
Lovely and smooth reliable motor.
excellent prompt service (as usual ! ) Can't yet comment on the Alt kit as it will be a few weeks before I start the build. Kit looks to be good.
Does the manufacturer specify the maximum drive power for CL spiners and blades?
HyperFlight Reply: Yes, 800W. It is given on all the CL prop blade pages.
As always, fantastic service from Hyperflight. This kit arrived very well packaged the day after ordering. I have only just started building but it looks to be of very good quality and so far has gone together well. I chose this glider as it is from the same company as the Slite v2 that I have previously built and am very happy with. I have no doubt that the Introduction will perform equally well.
excellent value battery with hours of discharge for DLG Hawk. Replaced lead to charge with JR socket type. Neil listening and patient attitude to service, First class.
Love the Bluebird 101 servos, needed spare servo arms.
Super quick delivery from Hypereflight
On an old but favourite Mini Ellipse E, I wanted to reset the motor mounting to have less down thrust than originally I had. This time I wanted it to be perfectly aligned and done right, so I opted for one of these little CNC gems by CN Model. After a light sand where it was to be glued into the plane, glue set, I was VERY happy with the alignment (way better than I could have with a F/glass mount I made at home and way stronger too), and the general neatness of the mount. First re-maiden a week ago proved a vast improvement in the correct pitch on launch.
All in all a very nice mount. I have photos but couldn’t upload to this review 🙁
