Hi Andre many thanks for a brilliant video I’ve just bought the Gladiator with no instructions and the online download doesn’t work. You’ve saved the day. Thanks again Simon. 🇬🇧

Excellent video. My Gladiator is waiting for the rudder and elevator servos and control rods which were missing from the kit. HK are sending replacements. Really looking forward to getting my bird in the air.
Very useful, especially the decal application. I have just taken delivery of one so will use this video as a build guide alongside the manual. I'll be honest. I'm not so keen on the outcome of your rigging. I have done this before with wire and used small threaded tensioners to pull it all tight. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything.
I've got one of these on backorder here in the UK where HK have just returned - and now pay UK taxes :) One thing I'm considering changing is the 9gm servos which (I guess) will have vulnerable plastic gears and replacing them with metal geared servos. I'll check when it arrives at the end of October 23. This is an excellent video which goes into far more detail than any other I've watched and will be very useful in a few weeks. I've scratch built and kit built many models over the years (including biplanes) so I don't anticipate many problems but it's always good to acquire as much info as possible before the start.
As the rigging isn't actually doing anything except aping the full-size, I'll do my usual method with bipes and use shirring elastic which stays tight. I may use the thin Bowden cable for the fin/tailplane where it will offer some stability. I'll keep the supplied steel cable to use for closed loop controls on my other models.
Hi, I am going to order this plane soon, good instructional video. Could you please tell me the name & make of your plane stand as it looks like just what I’m looking for.🤞
Nice work I just got my plane I'll be following your build.Thanks again 😀 at what temperature did you set the iron?

I found with the sock on, my iron did better at the mid temperature point. I did change the temperature depending on the size of the decal and part it was going on.
