joeylcfc Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) http://www.nitrotek.co.uk/spy-hawk-electric-4ch-rc-plane-2-4ghz.html It seems remarkably good for the price and was wondering if there is a catch? It seem legit and is 4 channel, big in size etc. If there is a catch could someone tell me? Does this version come with the 5mp camera and 4gb sd card?

jordan_bench10 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 its nitrotek dont trust the cars never mind a plane that could just crash down from the skys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 No catch, some people dont like nitrotek but they have been around for years..... Parts might be a issue but at that price its worth a punt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxic Basher Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I've had nitrotek stuff and its more entry grade Rc. A bit cheap and nasty but good fun can still be had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Its a Hubsan plane, same people as the little X4 quadcopter, and I've seen it on sale in other places too but for a fair bit more. Spares are available on the web at least. Only catch I can see is that it is a glider - don't let the motor fool you as powered flight is strictly limited to climbing.

Toxic Basher Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 That's what I get for not looking at the link. Thought it was nitrotek own brand or rebrand. Hubsan quads are ace and tough as boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeylcfc Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 If anyone knows of another glider around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) For the money,dont think you will go far wrong,of course you have to be able to fly the things,but its not a vast outlay to start off with in my mind,go for it!!.

joeylcfc Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Thanks for all the advice, I'll definitely be going with this. Just to ask could I change the motor if I wanted a more powerful one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Well you could change the motor, but as I said this is a powered glider and as such designed to fly without the motor. The motor just gets you up to gliding height. I can't speak for this model but previous powered gliders I've seen for example have no esc - the motor is simply on or off.

GilbertRC1 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 The stuff on nitrotek is pretty awful when it comes to cars. But then if your on a budget you might as well buy one, I did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussH Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 A Multiplex Easystar II would be a better option. Around the same price, but you have far more options regarding different sized motors & much better quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut jims Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 A multiplex isn't a ready to fly package at that price it's also exactly like the bixler 2 from hobby king. By the time you have added the rest to the multi~ it starts to creep up over 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeylcfc Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Is it worth it to spend the extra to have the camera version from wireless madness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
