So, why not get yourself a Mini-NYX ?
Whatever flying style you do, the Mini-NYX will be one of the best planes you can buy.

Hi Leo,

Just want to share my experience, please use reliable receiver and servos.

Yesterday, I went to FNS, and met a new comer flying a composite with some unreliable gears. The centering problem of such servos made the plane so difficult to land. Bearing in mind that the safety of other by-passers is more important than the money saved from the unreliable gears.

Regards, and happy soaring.

Pong

Thanks, I do definitely agreed with the "not to use bad gear" behavior, as I have lost a lovely plane once due to that reason.

So where is the best place to get the mini nyx? I have seen on forum soemtime for sales, but not always available, how do I order one, and how much approx is that plane?

Many thanks

Leo

place an order with Stanley.

There is one in Radar if you need one ASAP.
but be ready to pay a bit more for it.

:roll: :roll:

Ordering it from Stanley would take 6 months. The factory is very slow in making them. In addition, with the current high TT rate it would cost you some HK$ 2200-2300.

:evil:
Buying it from Rad?r is a bit expensive as they asking for some HK$ 3300 to 3500 (I cannot remember.) :cry: :cry:

Thanks Guys

Looks like I will have to wait a bit for it then.

Also, does anybody heard of the FVK bandit? Does anyone owning one or owned one before, and how is it?

Many thanks

Leo
