Avios Bush Mule, 1500mm STOL PnF Twin - HobbyKing Announcement Daily

[@thenatedog]

Just listened to the ftafterhours podcast and was trying to get an idea of what these looked like. They look even better than i thought. Just moved and i live one block from a lake now...cant wait to get this plane!

[@OutaTimeFPV]

Nathan Knight They Have to finish these before Flite Fest West!

[@josipvrandecic2472]

Good job HK / Avio, a mounting arrangement allows the wings, in small cars, relatively easy transport and installation in the meadow !

[@K5_BlaZer]

anyone else feel like Stuart is an airplane enthusiasts who also works for a hobby company. like he is your friend? clearly passionate about this stuff. looking forward to this one

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

I'm very lucky to have been able to make my passion my profession and thank you for your kind comments. Stuart.

[@middleagedbaldguy6774]

Slick! Its going to look great in the hanger next to the Tundra!

[@northernfpv9562]

OMG TAKE MY MONEY!! I held off buying the Sky Mule because I could never quite get over the impression that it had missed the mark on durability. With all these fixes, now I'm totally in! Please get this thing out in time for late Spring/early Summer float flying season!

[@jackdaniels7913]

This looks like it's going to be an amazing flyer I simply can't wait to see what everyone is going to do with such a large & robust air frame!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Yeah the BushMule is certainly versatile and a great flyer too.

[@alifaisal9]

I can't wait to buy this one!!! I have the Skymule and I love the FPV setup. flaps is a good idea, it will help better in landing

[@RcBuddy]

Looking good, my sky-mule is still waiting in the box, maybe this can be on top off that box for the future ;o)

[@TheStickyBusiness]

Very proud of your latest models. Love to see you improve your awesome and unique models instead of making them disappear. ( we need a de Havilland Comet V2 and a Vampire V2 with RUDER and FLAPS and Nav Light or a new similar variant like the venom) If you could only improve your shipping schematics, your, many times, inaccurate volume shipping weights posted on your web page system Like the ones on the spear parts of the DC#, Stuart please check the huge difference on weight of spare parts between silver and green DC3 part!!! is the best example of how inaccurate your values are. and as we have seen lately your costumer service also needs a revamping. Wee needa HK costumer service V2 so you can really be the King take care of your people!!!

[@Legacy0ne]

That Australian skin glow though.. ;) Free with every Bush Mule!

[@latvianrcchannellatvia8092]

ok I am a great fan of the skymule. so yes this will be the replacement for my old mule. Bring it on.

[@daggad02]

Very nice looking model that could be a lot of fun for both LOS and scale FPV. But I really wished you would have made the wings a little wider (not the span) to reduce the wing loading. The old Twinstar II totally outperforms the original Sky Mule because of this.

[@TheAdkFlyer10]

I love my SkyMule. Can't wait for this one!!

[@WarbirdFan66]

wow you guys are really stepping up your game, very nice model Stuart :)

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

thanks

[@GBLynden]

That one looks really cool!

[@edwill62]

My Faith in HK has been renewed......Stewart has out did himself with this one.....Finally something to satisfy an array of possibilities in one Great Model...here was thinking HK was done......here they show they are just getting started.....to bad they closed the east warehouse....but they never stocked anything anyway.....I hope they beef up the West Coast warehouse and fill them with all these new models especially this new Mule .

[@gracefulbutterfly]

WTH HK im trying to wait it out for a colored Tundra and now you release this plane that i also want! It would be my first dual motor.!!

[@Thuribles]

Very nice looking model.

[@greatquotestoliveby]

if only we could clone Stewart and put the clone in charge of the shipping department, then maybe we could get proper service time on our orders 😔

[@TheStickyBusiness]

Exactly and as we have seen in later review we need a Third one in costumer services too ;) Oh and for sure a fourth in quality control before boxing.

Big Like for this plane!!! :)

[@JohnVHRC]

This is awesome!

[@linckfoley]

Dude, I like Durafly BF-110 so much. Can you guys produce it again? My current one is crashed and impossible to fix. I want to order another one!!!

[@tommuhlemanjr.3871]

I'd buy one now on the strength of this video only! Better yet Stuart send me a pre production model to beta test and review. I've got a large Durafly, Avios, Ritewing, Eflite, and many other model types hanger.. You wouldn't regret it. It would be a win-win for us both. Regardless, Best wishes to you Stuart as you head back to Finland. HK is losing a champ. God Bless!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Thank you Tom. Stuart.

[@rotormasher]

Loving this!!

[@kevinlefaix5389]

3 months ?!!!! no possible It's very good this plane

[@kalanco7759]

looks like twin otter

[@Pathfinder24Flims]

5 months and counting - when will we see this one available? :)

[@OutaTimeFPV]

Please hurry! I want one for FliteFest West!

[@OliinFpv]

Well HobbyKing Live, any updates on this ? its now long past june and still no Bush Mule. I was really looking forward to flying this this summer.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Oliin Fpv watch the latest weekly update

[@NoAgendaFPV]

V2 Tundra would benefit from similar nose reinforcement. Now I don't know if I want a colored Tundra or this?!?!

[@MclF01]

another winner from hobbyking

[@MattyThomas86]

Are you considering using the new tundra wheels? That would be fantastic ?

[@WiltedSnausage207]

Between this and the new CarbonZ Cessna 150 I'm gonna have one light wallet!

[@scottallen6133]

Can't wait.

[@wun1gee]

Can the old landing gear still be attached to the nacelles like on the original Mule? I like that from a purely aesthetic angle but I wouldn't mind getting the Bush Mule's wing as an upgrade for my 1st gen Mule.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

No, but the wings are interchangeable.

[@rampantfpv8386]

Is coming as both as PNP and kit? Is it going to carry the hefty price the Sky Mule did or most likely even more?

[@flyingrock6381]

will the new bits (i.e. floats) be compatible with the sky mule?

[@coldude2559]

why not fit the new rubber tundra's tires? maybe on V3

[@Swoopfpv]

I'll take one with skis please!

[@kdobson83]

omg I want this now!!

[@RcBachelor]

What will be the price for Optional Floats and Ski for Snow

[@scottallen6133]

Ok I got mine and before the first flight the rudder servo died. The servos in the plane are the worst quality you could get. Ships cheaper out on the servos. Replace the servos before you fly. IT'S A MUST DO.

[@eggplantparrot]

gime gime gimeee! release it already

[@scottthompson2481]

Long range FPV model maybe ???? wonder how many MAH of battery's it can carry ??

[@jahatton]

Some people run 2 5200 3S. I run a 5000 4S plus I eliminated the ESC BEC. I have a 2200 3S on flight controls via a BEC. Before I got brown-outs and near crashes. Another thing to watch out for is the aluminum wing spar. The wings flex too much for my liking.

[@agedflier9129]

Will the new landing gear be interchangeable with the "old" Sky Mule???

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

no.

[@2007crf450r]

the main issues with mule are two things the wing root is to small so It makes it want to snap and drop a wing a slow speeds and the fuse is to big and wind pushes it from the sides making it very unstable in the wind if you guys would make the fuse a little smaller and the wing root bigger this would be a great plane wing root is way to small its evident just looking at the plane

[@Devil6CR]

ok its been several months now, when will it be released?

[@coldude2559]

why the foam tires? not rubber like the new

[@RCThis]

question: How is the flying time with x2 motors?

[@Devil6CR]

It's July, any update on the release?

[@douglassmith1020]

How come I cannot find any info on the bush mule even from hobby king.?

[@oscarzt1652]

its like a twin tundra..... THE TWINDRA!?!?

[@jj40silva]

Quanto vai custar a exportação para o Brasil ? pode ser em forma de KIT ?

[@hermanneufeld5626]

looks ware good

[@ashleyf5994]

Oh-Nooo, Nooo, I have 32 planes now, This looks like #33, I am running out of room to hide new planes from my wife...I will have to tell her I am building this plane for BRIAN B. Yeah, That will work, LOL

[@scottallen6133]

When is the release date?

[@DavidJones-vq8db]

parts available in all warehouses please

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

they will be.

[@flt842]

Whats the motor, esc, prop setup?

[@toddbagley5441]

"next couple of months"....it's been 6 :-)

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Did you buy it preorder?

[@toddbagley5441]

No, which is why I added the smiley face...the industry still hasn't figured out how to estimate availability time. When it's ALWAYS longer than figured one would expect that there would be some learning involved in giving availability estimates if they are, indeed, meant to be sincere. That said, yes, I ABSOLUTELY want one!

[@actionbob64]

Not Preordering was a smart move. Almost 30 days after paying and nothing to show for it. With this much promotion, Hype videos, time passed, money already paid, and no plane... Wait about 6 more months, then it goes on sale. Save money and get the plane. Or not have anything to show for your purchase like me and many others.

[@weedsnager]

No skis ?

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

yeap, they are included too.

[@terrynapoli9180]

I like Hobby King planes, but stopped buying them because the don't carry parts for crap. If you sell a model you need to carry ALL the parts for those models.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

BushMule spare parts are back-in-stock and compatible with both new and previous versions of the BushMule

[@kayteeemm45]

none of this shit matters unless u let us buy the damn thing already. its been how long now ????!!!!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

It's on pre-order now: hobbyking.com/en_us/catalogsearch/result/?q=%22BushMule%22

[@linckfoley]

The landing gear looks weak......

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

its anything but. It had issues before, hence why its so much stronger now.
