Radjet 800 Unboxing

...what's in the box

The Radjet comes nicely poackaged - double-boxed with all items individually wrapped in plastic, so there's no damage.

The parts are nice-quality EPO, and the kit also includes an underside protector skid. The canopy is a loose moulded plastic part which needs to be attached to the base, which includes magnets for attachment.

This kit, the PNF, includes a pre-installed 1850kv motor, and a 20A speed controller, good for 100-120kph performance with a 4S battery.

All parts fit neatly together, with the tail & wings needing to be glued. Note that you'll have to add some sort of reinforcement to the wing joins, preferable some sort of spars or strips because the basic joint isn't going to cope with the wing loadings of this pretty speedster...

H-King ESC Programming

...so many tones

I've fitted the 35A H-King brushless speed controller before on the Trainstar and, having performed well in that application, I've decided to use it on the Raptor glider as well.

However, unlike the Trainstar, the Raptor requires the braking function to be activated, so I got reading through the ESC manual. Most ESC's are a bit tricky to programme, but the H-King has that many steps even before you get to the programming.

So I thought I'd make a quick video of the process as a help to anyone who couldn't be bothered to follow the steps, or for those who ditched the pamphlet and then realised they needed to change something...
