Durafly Micro Tundra (PNF) Sports Model w/Flaps EPO 635mm (25") - Flight Review

[@MarkFord]

Smartest thing Hobbyking has ever done.... Get Stuart back that is.

[@tobiasknowles5555]

Mark Ford. Damn straight! Those videos were getting painful.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Thanks!

Glad to see Stuart back on board👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you!

[@kannmanmalmachen]

Stuart - this feels like a time machine trip ;-) Great to see you again

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Indeed it is!

[@The_Pub_]

Welcome Back Stuart!!! Still remember watching your Original Tundra profile on the beach 3 or 4 years ago.. Stay Safe mate!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Hi Bruce, thank you. LOL, I have great memories of that day actually myself, it was a nice secret little flying spot at the time. I believe they 'developed' it now! Stuart.

[@The_Pub_]

@@HobbyKingOfficial Enjoy and Remember!! And Pass that onto friends...... That Is Life!!! Cheers!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

STUART!!!! 😃😃 Wow, so glad to see you back, it has been too long. Really hope you can help bring HK back to it's former glory. So good to see you back and loving this little Tundra. Shame it doesn't come with a gyro like the small warbirds that have been released recently, but I'm sure it flys just as nice with out it. 😊👍

[@nickhayley]

I was thinking the same thing, mate. A gyro would be appropriate for this micro.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

In light wind conditions or indoors its not required.

[@tobiasknowles5555]

What a model! Can’t wait more more content. The micro tundra looks great too.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

You and me both!

Thanks for your support!

[@JustaPoke]

Was surprised to see this new Tundra version (seen it @ the Slovenia bro's channel first) and now even more surprised to see Stuart back at HK :). I suppose he's staying in NL? Anyway great work guys, looks like a fun plane and Stuart is just the best in giving flight reviews! Maybe one day we will see James return as well?

Hope you enjoy it! Stuart is based in the Netherlands

That's good to hear I'd live to see the EDF globalhawk come back, and as for thos mini model maybe a classic L-4 grasshopper green with the black and white striped wing bars... the windows are the most important thing though!!! Must have the windows marked properly!!!

[@MrTimmyGT]

Wait wtf?? Stewart is back with HK? Might actually pay attention to them again

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Yes Stuart is at HobbyKing =)

[@andythompson3528]

Might get this one for myself for Christmas. Even though it’s a few months away from now.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Yes and for real!

[@dhoffman6435]

Hi Sruart. First time on your channel. Great discussion. I prefer micros like this for my small park. I don't have a tranmitter/receiver combo to use with this micro. Can you suggest a inexpensive trans/receiver combo to for this micro? Looking to invest minimum amount to fly this for fun, nothing too fancy, just enough trans/receiver to make a successful flight. Thanks for your content.

[@scavenger4905]

Stuart for president!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Stuart is British lol

[@boeing747400ifly]

Great release! Does this mean we can also expect a Turbo Tundra, Tundra X, and UMX Turbo Tundra? Just kidding...also happy to see Stuart is back.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Thank you.

[@RcBuddy]

Yes, now get hobbyking back on track like it was in the past. Welcome back Stuart. Cheers.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

We're working on it. Please let us know what you like and how we can work on getting it where it needs to be. We know the pain points are with stock, delivery, and website speeds....=/

[@RcBuddy]

@@HobbyKingOfficial Hi, thanks for taking notice, stock, delivery, spare parts and new items on a fair price base would be a good beginning here in the EU warehouse, also lower shipping costs for items coming from the global warehouse would be nice. Take Care !

[@pp-pz7ty]

Really good presentation of the model. Hope there will be more such good content from HK..

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

More to come!

[@mattstockton2433]

What a way to sell an upgraded battery too, what a difference, looks heaps more fun with the lihv

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Thanks and the links to the batteries are now in the description per request.

All very well but the lipos are out of stock in the U.K. warehouse??

[@marekknoblauch3484]

What is a good receiver with a built in gyro? I am getting into the hobby and want some stability in the air

[@jeffdillingham2999]

Yay Stuart!!! Yay micro Tundra!!!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Yes!

[@GroundControlRC]

It's a great looking Micro Tundra with a lot of features. The one thing! I think they should have put a 13xx / 14xx Motor in this Micro Tundra so it would have similar power to it's Big Brother ;-) Very nice flight demonstration. See you in the Air!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

That would be cool!

[@crampynz]

Welcome back Stu!

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Thanks!

[@alexherrera3918]

the hobby king web site indicates a motor 1106 2350kv...di you change it?

[@drewbert83]

It looks amazing, but I don't know if I have the reflexes for something so quick and nimble.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Hi, on 2S and especially with mid flaps it flies at a relaxing enough pace.

[@drewbert83]

@@HobbyKingOfficial 3 years later, just ordered it! Wish me luck!

[@BillKisel]

I'm new to the hobby and would be interested in this plane if it came RTF and with stabilization.

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Looking into RTF if there is a strong demand for it

[@BillKisel]

@@HobbyKingOfficial That's great! I'd buy one. I understand that a decision like that must be market driven. I suspect that a RTF Micro Tundra with stabilization would compete well with and take market share from both the HZ Sort Cub S 2 and the UMX Turbo Timber.

The LiPo HV are good, for sure, but they are not available in Europe. :(

Have I gone back in time 10 years...Stuart at HK

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

This is a new video, not a #tbt video

[@phapnui]

Will it ever be offered RTF?

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

If there is demand for a Ready to Fly variant

[@phapnui]

@@HobbyKingOfficial I demand a Ready to Fly variant! What? It hasn't been delivered yet? Seriously, I am a rank beginner and have one small Cub that I have flown once. Hard to find a field to fly where I live. I could fly right from my side yard that faces a pond but I don't trust my skills yet to fly over water. Anyhow, I would have already bought the Tundra if RTF.

[@hutchzy9219]

So glad to see a umx model that won't fall apart in my hand. Got on well with the first umx timber but so many repairs! I bought the mig umx n was a massive pile of turd, got the new turbo umx timber and be had servos stick, intermittently. I've only had a handful of flights. Complete waste of money, this is half the price and looks decent

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

Thanks for the feedback and we'll work on improving out Tundra and other planes =)

[@gewizz2]

HV batteries are like DJi batteries, they charge to 4.3v every charge.

[@vizak20]

Any flight stabilisation?

[@HobbyKingOfficial]

No, but gyro receivers can be used, though not necessary in the right conditions.

[@richardlong3615]

Why would need stabilisation for what is essentially a trainer?

[@stefanastley1115]

@@richardlong3615 5:58 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnm7g6yNpJl0sKc - "It's not for the novice pilot"... Little planes do well with a stabiliser, in light conditions not an issue for this I am sure! But all the warbirds of similar span have them, due to the size (or lack of) of course!
