Redback Havoc Glider, 1400mm WS, EPO, Brushless PNP (RBHAVOCPNP)

GOOD BEGINNER'S MODEL, BUT...

27 March 2019

Although I've been in the hobby on and off for about 50 years, I've been out of it for many years, so am starting again with this model. It's a good beginner's model for many reasons, some of which are: 1. It's fairly attractive. 2. It's fairly simple. 3. It's very strong. 4. It's very cheap. But, there are 2 problems, from the lesser to the greater: 1. The name is unsuitable. The original BlitzRCWorks "Sky Surfer" was better. However, I'll be naming it simply "Birdie" because the wings are very much like a bird's wings in respect to the airfoil, the aspect ratio and the tips. However again, the "Havoc" decals on the wings are difficult to remove because they're extremely thin, but cloth tape might be powerful enough to pull them off because sticky tape and electrical tape are not powerful enough. If someone knows how to definitely remove them without melting the foam then please let me know at gd-2@outlook.com. 2. The manual is unsuitable too. Thankfully it's not in Chinglish any more, but there simply isn't enough information for a beginner. Of course, that'll require a major rewrite, which I'm afraid I don't have the time to do now, so if someone else who's experienced with beginners can do it that'll be great. Thanks for reading my review. Gregg.
