Here are the Review Notes for this Fast RC Plane:
Pros:
- Looks great
- Robust paint
- Large battery bay
- Carbon reinforcement all over the plane
- Built like a tank, even without the CF
- Nice place to grip it for underhand tosses
Cons:
- I found the battery tray install to be overly complicated, but that could have just been me.
This is how Motion RC describes the Skynetic Havok Racer:
"Motion RC is proud to announce Skynetic, a new brand of foam electric aircraft for newer pilots looking to broaden their flying experience across a range of RC airplane types. Developed by and available exclusively at Motion RC, Skynetic advances our vision of a global audience discovering the fun of RC Flight. Backed by Motion RC's customer support and a full line of spare parts to keep you flying, join the Skynetic revolution!
The Skynetic 1000mm wingspan “Havok” Racer is an exhilarating foam electric sport flyer that is optimized for racing in groups at your RC Club! Easy to hand launch and capable of speeds exceeding 100mph, the Havok delivers high performance in an approachable and pilot-friendly airframe.
FEATURES:
- Clear canopy that can fit an FPV camera
- Metallic Graphite paint with Hyper Green decal accents. High contrast scheme to aid orientation
- Aluminum spinner
- Capable of 100mph top speed
- Easy to hand toss
- All 9g metal gear servos and brass ball linkage
- Plastic capped forward fuselage for dent resistance
- Reinforced motor mount and main wing, in case pilots want to experiment with mods
- No glue assembly
- Functional forehead intake (reminiscent of certain Reno Racer Unlimited Class Mustangs)
- Full spare parts availability
INCLUDES:
- Skynetic Havok Racer 1000mm (39") Wingspan - PNP
- Admiral brushless 3542-1600kV motor
- Admiral 80A ESC with XT60 connector
- 4x 9g digital metal gear servos
REQUIRES:
- 4 Channel radio - select a minimum 4 channel radio from our Radio Collection
- 4 Channel receiver - select a minimum 4 channel receiver from our Receiver Collection
- 4 Cell 14.8V 2200-3000 mAh LiPo battery with XT60 connector - we recommend the Admiral 3000mAh 4S 14.8V 35C LiPo Battery with XT60 Connector
- 4 Cell compatible battery charger - select a minimum 4 cell (4S) charger
I am very pumped to unbox this and get it up in the air along with the Skynetic Shrike 1450mm Sport Glider and this Skynetic Havok Racer 1000mm, which is very similar to the E-flite V900. The main difference between the two is the Havok has space in the battery bay for the recommended battery.
Look for more flights soon with my Freewing T-33 Shooting Star and my Freewing A-4 Skyhawk 80mm EDF Jet!
