Avios (PNF) KingTwin 1700 Sports/Scale Executive Turboprop Airplane (1700mm) - Flight Review

[@vrosi1963]

about time we have a king air

[@henryharvey6609]

Nice looking C-90! It's about time someone put out a Kingair for us sportflyers! A USNavy training color scheme would look nice!! Great job HK!!!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

That would be cool!

[@iforce2d]

3:36 that's not what "split flaps" means :)

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Yes I know, I was referring (wrongly) to the fact that they are split across the length of the flap. But thanks for the correction ;) Stuart.

[@sammumu4088]

I love you Hobbyking, you bring us this wonderfull hobby near! 10 or 15 years ago it was too expensive to get in this hobby, you made it payable nearly for everybody! Will never forget how i saw your pick up truck here in Hamburg, after that i was searching you on internet and found your website, i felt like alice in wonderland! I begann to order until today. It was so easy and exiting to order something an pick it up a couple hours later at the Hamburg warehouse. Without you i couldt not get into this hobby. Thank you guys, i wished i couldt meet you some day, maybee at one of your events. Regards

[@DirtyBob2001]

I just saw the Petrincic Brothers RC unboxing. Looks really nice.

[@NorthEastFPV]

fantastic review Stuart, These Avios models always bring something extra to the table. love it 👍👍👍

[@BillKisel]

I'm going to make a comment even before I view the flight portion of this video. Designing in those easy-on easy-off wing ends is so smart. Congrats! I'm one of those guys that will no longer buy a bigger plane that doesn't come an easy-on easy-off wing.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Thanks for that!

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Rock n Roll Stuart. Its really one amazing bird. I love it. And the size is perfect. Perfect. Big salute to all RC lovers and Pilots here from Pilot Robert Slovenia. Click quick ;-)

Many thanks!

[@jimstewart6720]

Another comprehensive and honest review from Stuart. Lovely looking plane and some really well thought out features. Just wish HK UK would stock more batteries and other items in support of their UK models....and modellers :-)

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Many thanks! ETA for UK warehouse replenishment is around September

[@christisking1316]

So Awesome! I've been wanting a 'bird' like this, akin to the iconic Beechcraft 'Kingaire 350'...👋🤠👍( Well done Guys!)

HI STUART WOW IM VERY IMPRESSED SIR. I'VE JUST SEEN THE UNBOXING ON MY FAVOURITE KZbin CHANEL. THE GREAT PETRINCIC BROS 🇸🇮. LOOKS AMAZING. COULD NOT WAIT TO SEE HER IN THE AIR. THANKS SIR.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Thanks

[@alex1030]

Amazing value for such a beautiful model !

[@sambuvca22]

Anyone ever tell you sound like Bear Gryls little brother? Nice bird. Now I have one too many!

[@velikijoxotnik]

I ordered mine, as soon as it popped up as an email notice. I like the colors of the stock King Air, but I'll be repainting mine into a C-12 livery.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Thank you and great to hear, look forward to seeing.

[@siniskoyu]

Nice but more little and big edf jets would be nice

[@TheRCPilotsLog]

Really like that! Have to resist the urge to have it drop crates of illegal substances on a low and dirty fly by!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

It certainly looks the part ;)

[@whitebeltforlife]

[@greatquotestoliveby]

Looks pretty nice for the price.

Those are regular flaps, not split-flaps.

[@bowenbrown]

I can';t wait

Turnigy HXT900 servos???

[@brian1740]

had me sold until you said the tail glues on!!!!??

[@thomassawchuk9668]

Very Nice! Please upgrade the BushMule to have the quick connector wingtips. I have a small car and that is the one thing preventing me from owning that plane again. I love the BushMule, but sold mine because of the time it takes to take off and put on the wings to fit in my car.

[@pngporopilot81]

I see you are using the Tx16? I could use some help programming my radio

[@asifinamdar2364]

What's the battery backup? What about the range in KM?

[@DronemanJoeRc]

I just got mine and its looks super sexy. I have heard that the props have issues on grass with breaking alot, thats if you have a bumpy strip, I have the your B17 and extras will those work with this bird also? Thanks for sharing I look fwd to hearing back from you.👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Yes, they are essentially the same prop.

[@denisanagnos]

Beautiful model! Well done Hobbyking! What onboard camera are you using?

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Thanks, 1080p runcam.

[@terryakers2438]

Was just about to order with 3 batteries, got to shipping and the cost to ship to UK was £2400 !!!!!! They having a laugh?

[@massimocavalli4376]

farò il mio primo collaudo oggi, con lipo 4000 mAh 4s, speriamo bene

[@flymachine]

I could be missing something but the actual trailing edge is hinged and extends as flaps, how is that "split flaps"? The full size C90, B100,200 and so on dont employ split flaps anyway so there's no need to call them split flaps. I would have liked the slotted flaps on standoff hinges that even basic Cessna models emply nowadays for something more scale but these work fine I guess. I do really wish this was the more common B200/300/350 with the T-Tail but that is possibly the first thing I am going to modify as well as adding the Raisebeck mods ...in 5 years time when these finally arrive in South Africa:( I am sure whether to go C90/100 or 200 T-Tail was brought up at the brainstorm meeting but I assume this was designed on the back of widely publicized C90 of Mr Barbee.

[@flymachine]

She'll absolutely stall, your stall was beign because it was into a significant wind and the wing never stopped flying, at low speeds in a turn I don't see how it's theoretically possible for it not to stall - beautiful aircraft and really impressive that HK chose such beautiful subject.

[@mrvoyagerm]

I don't suppose using a 4s 5000 would be going too far?

[@JB-gk6tg]

Where can you buy one of these in the UK ?

[@trullmann]

Love it!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Thanks!!

[@leerenslear1064]

What is your C.G. ?????...please.

[@looneytunes47]

It Absolutely Blows my Mind how Hobbyking will release a brand new plane and Not only have No Spare Parts in the USA for them they dont even List Spare Propellers in the Replacement Parts List....WAKE UP HOBBYKING AND PROVIDE PARTS FOR YOUR USA CUSTOMERS who dont wanna pay thru the nose for international shipping and wait for 2 months to get them!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Hello, in this case its because the container with the spares in hasn't arrived yet though it is due very soon. Thanks

@@HobbyKingOfficial ok thank you i will do that.

[@looneytunes47]

I always like to purchase at least some spare propellers when ordering a new plane.

[@paulmilne3038]

More I look at this the prettier it looks. It’s a shame the removable canopy shows so much but I’m sure once you are 6ft or more away you will not notice. Every model has some weakness I think with this one it’s the nose gear. Really don’t need another model I say to myself

[@paulmilne3038]

Can’t help wondering if you could fit fixed gear to give you the option of bigger wheels?

[@SonAndDadFPV]

Not sure if the wing is off, if there is room for a flight controler?

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Yes with a little work it would be doable. Stuart

[@airbornjetworkx3317]

Very nice, Stuart! Now add some telemetry equipment and stop using that highly sophisticated timer!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

lol, I'm old school it would seem :D Stuart.

[@shakav2010]

oh woow i want one is it ok for beginner pilots?

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

If you've got a few models under your belt you should be fine with the KingTwin. Stuart.

Maybe they are splat flips hahahaha

[@engineerahmed7248]

Keeps adjusting glasses...So annoying !

[@Thoughtomobile]

@HobbyKing I am very impressed by the features and performance! Meanwhile, I have a couple issues I want to address and resolve. The size is too big for me. Not enough storage space. I prefer a smaller model between 750mm and 130mm, low wing, monoplane with all the features of this model. I searched your online store but was not able to find one. Could you help me choose?

[@Tsnafu]

Don't think I'll be buying any £300 foamies, but if I was, I wouldn't want cheapo plastic geared, non digital 9g servos on it

[@Realitygetreal]

Nice but $$$$

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

What is?

[@Thoughtomobile]

How long does this equipment fly with one full battery charge? Is there a scale-down monoplane with the same features, such as, retractable landing gear, adjustable flaps and other control surfaces?

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

You can expect flight times of between 6-8 mins with the suggested battery and mixed throttle use.

Whats the best Flap to Elevator Mix Rate for this Plane Anyone???

[@sotm2]

I hope you checked the battery tray - those screws holding it do NOT hold it they are too short!!

[@Conn653]

FYI - Your 'Stall Turn" is called a Hammer-Head Stall. Instead of a 'wing-over' you demonstrated a knife edge pass. A true wing-over is where the 'top wing' of the turn goes past vertical. Please get your terminology correct. Love the plane. When will a Shrike Commander become available?

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Well I'd call it more of a 'Farnborough pass', but feedback well received thank you, the pressure of talking on camera ;) Stuart.

Finally a "real" model airplane at HK for people who are willing to invest a little more money to get something nice and not a beginner's toy. The latter are of course just as legitimate and fun, but there are plenty of them at HK now. And I just love the medium-sized "finished" scale aircraft that are easy to use and the costs don't get out of hand. So exactly the right Christmas present for me.
