H-King A-1 Skyraider with ORX Flight Stabiliser: ESSENTIAL RC FLIGHT TEST
AVAILABLE HERE: bit.ly/hkingA1Skyraider
Very little assembly required to get this super scale Skyraider in the air. Glue in the horizontal stabiliser with medium cyano or UHU-POR and connect up the clevis to the elevator horn. Attach the wing to the fuselage with the provided screw. Push in the landing gear legs and secure each with a screw. Attach the propeller. Glue on the scale bombs. Then all that remains is to install your receiver taking care to connect the flight stabilisation lead into the AUX1 channel and configure that against a 2 position switch on your transmitter so you can switch between Beginner and Expert modes.
Connect up a 3S800 lipo flight pack while the Skyraider is level on the ground and the stabilisation system will take a few seconds to arm. Check CG balance and orientation of flight surfaces with control inputs and you are set for your first mission. Take off in Beginner mode for the start of your first flight. In this mode the roll and pitch are limited and you are prevented from rolling to inverted flight. Switch to Expert mode and this limitation is removed but the stabilisation still smooths up any turbulence caused by the wind!
This Skyraider is very smooth to fly and so stable it can be flown in a relatively small space with ease if you keep the speed low. We tried some scale aerobatics and inverted flight and it could execute all with ease. A great value warbird to take to the airfield on the passenger seat of your car !

This May not seem exciting for the better pilots, but for myself to be able to have help and when I start feeling comfortable to switch to excerpt and possibly pull off some of this , WINNER THANK FOR SHOWING IT off
Great review.. I've been looking at the planes in this series and they seem a pretty good value for money RC fun plane option to me.. I've looked at all the planes and the A-1 skyraider is now. top of my fun plane list.. I think I love it because it's a good flying unusual warbird... thanks for your great informative videos..it really is appreciated.. kind regards Dave 😁
For a review it would have been nice to learn what battery you used, where it was placed and where the CG was?
great little scale bird there and love all the armory on it too also flies quite well in both the modes can't go wrong for the price for that quick after work fly at the local park .... cheers for sharing this Dom .

Thanks Andrew. Surprised how well it flew and no doubt that's down to the stabilisation system. Quite clever. At just over £50 I think it's good value as well considering how much scale detail it has. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
CRIKEY! I thought I could Fly this Toy great? Sick Stuff Dom,, Awesome Display Mate!
I've been looking at this and the tempest I may just get both. Great video.

Tempest an Skyraider are the Two best Flyers in the series so far. Beauty Glyn.
That is a epic little plane and it looks so real 👍😎
I like that, super! Thanks for posting.
good demo of beginner vs expert mode .this ORX flight stabilisator is amaizing good ! i dont understand why some peaple had problems with it i think you have to fly it without as3x or safe receivers .just basic spectrum like ar620 work perfect for this orx plane !
Looks to be much better flyer than the Tempest!
hi there,can you plz do a vid on how you connected the rx to the gyro,i have never used a gyro before.thx mark from Doncaster.

Hello, what model of orx stabilizer? Because the beguiner mode is not bad
Is the plug on the plane for the 3S an XT60?
i flew two batterys on beginner mode with my skyraider next time i will try expert mode .1 question : in expertmode when i relaise the sticks will it stabilise the skyraider automaticaly to horzontal or will expert mode only counter turbulances ?
What flight time you got? (which battery?)
can i make beginner mode more agressive ?double the rates ?
When’s the next SR-71 build update Dom ? 😀
Looks like a great little plane for the money. Although it survived this typical small tail-dragger landing, I hope HK stock plenty of spare props. 😁

If it can survive take off and landing at this bumpy strip it can survive anything. It's not our preferred site for this type of model but it was only place I could get a cameraman to shoot it flying. Yes...that prop won't survive many nose overs so spares will be essential RC! I just checked and they do spare blades and hub. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

@@EssentialRC HK does have spare props and I ordered several. Came from China. As a side note the plane flies just as well if not better just using 2 props or a prop saver and 2 blade plastic prop. At least if you break one or 2 blades you aren't out of business.
it would be nice if this skyraider hàd intermediate mode little more angle like 55 % turn left and right .
Awesome video, and written explanation of the set up. Do you have to use a a spectrum receiver with that gyro? Or can you use any brand receiver and tx?

great vid, how does it do the flight stabilization if you have to supply a receiver, isn't that tech in the receiver?
@EssentialRC

No. It's a separate module that is included with the model. It is already in the model and connected to the servos. You plug the wires from the stabilisation module into your receiver. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Just bought one! What-s the settings have you used on your TX like DX9?

One of those micro combined cam/VTX FPV units? Yes it could carry the weight but you could need to cut up the cockpit to fit it.

You plug the ORX lead into a separate channel in your receiver. You could use Gear channel or AUX1, etc. Map that channel to a 2 position switch on your transmitter.
You tried the dji system on this one yet? I think it could carry it ok, no?

They same as connecting to any other receiver Walter. I use Spectrum and just plugged each of the 3 pin leads into the normal primary control surface and throttle channels with exception of the stabiliser lead which you need to put into an auxiliary channel which should be configured to a 2 position switch.
