I just hope the maiden goes as well as the build was easy!

[@billshepard6664]

Make sure you file some flats onto your gear posts... mine had none and they worked loose.

[@odwatchguy]

Thanks for the nice unboxing and overview of the FlyFans K-8. It is a pretty plane and 64mm seems to be the new sport plane of the hobby.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Totally agree And the Maiden was an ALMOST success.

[@hamiltonshangar]

Nice looking plane looking forward to the maiden flight!

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

It was great until I tried grass ops.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Looks like that will be a fun little sport jet!

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

It will be , I just can't land here in clumpy wet grass, i do not know what I was thinking!!!????

[@tughillrc6327]

Very good unboxing, Nice review, looking forward to the maiden.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

[@jimmeyer3374]

[@craigmckinley9553]

Very nice looking bird.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

I think so too!

[@Bellairvideo]

Well Greg, this will be an interesting flight. I saw them on Rc Castle.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

It was a great flight right up until I tried grass ops.

[@Bellairvideo]

Oh dear, i must look out for your maiden. Did you have a gyro/ reflex/ 630 safe on it?

[@Bellairvideo]

Hey Greg, Well done & explained. I am awaiting mine 4S from Honkers & have copied my Arrows marlin over on my NX10 to this model & will try the same settings as it is a similar model. The other Jet arriving with it is the hard to get (here) Sabre from Arrows with Vector & have added another vector system to install on the K-8. With the Marlin, when it arrived quite a while ago, I installed the Reflex from the FMS Viper into the Marlin & never looked back as it works perfectly. Regards mate. Noel

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Sounds great!

[@FlankerTanker]

We get the same stuff, I have one of these coming from Banana Hobby...thanks for the video, I now know what I will be getting....no manual what about rates and cg..oh an you not do download the manual ?, I have seen in other videos that you need to cut a small amount of the spar off...

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

I made the spar work but it is VERY tight. I included the manual in the description. CG is 65mm from edge. I figured it on my own only to find when I found the manual I was spot on. My rates are explained in the maiden video.

[@aurelioarenas6293]

It comes with spektrum receiver?

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

No I installed one.

[@robertwong2412]

1150g flying weight is heavy

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

That may be the 6s version weight.
