I contacted them via email requesting an RMA and refund. The battery wouldn't charge and there was a dead cell. When I want to come down I do find that I have to switch to expert mode to get the nose down.Within 2 weeks of my husband ordering an RC battery, it wouldn't charge. I don't have to worry about my pitch control when the plane is getting down range and getting smaller. It keeps itself so level and movement in so fluid that it is easy. What does surprise me that that I find myself thermal hunting in beginner mode. I don't see how anyone that could keep a Storch or even Tiny Trainer in the air wouldn't be able to fly this in expert mode. The plane will drop on steeply banked turns but it is a very forgiving. My first launch was in beginner mode but I could feel little difference switching into expert mode (I never use intermediate). There is a huge leap from beginner to experienced mode: Again this is relative. It is a reasonably powered, sporty glider.Ģ. I know when I first got my Delta Ray I thought it was fast so I understand how this can be fast to someone moving up from 1s planes but this is not a hot, nor even a warm-liner. Compared to a UMX Radian this plane is fast but for anyone used to flying F pack or C pack planes this isn't a fast. I would like to respond to a few things I have read from others on this plane.ġ. Notreallyme stayed up longer on the same amount of throttle.Īt the current price I would question anyone not getting this plane. At that point I had 9:30 of flight time with 19s of throttle. We were both soon pushing the legal barrier and had to come dive down several times. I am a glider novice but I quickly caught a thermal. Notreallyme and I had the Consendos out this morning. I don't think I have ever seen a better value in a new plane. The plane does glide 4-ev-er on landing so make sure you give some room. Stock batteries are expensive but HH has great Kinexsis batteries for $10. I am not a glider pilot so I see this as on the low side of the capabilities of the plane. I flew another 20min with under 4min of throttle and the battery was still over 3.7V at rest. When I landed the battery was above 3.9V per cell. Today I did `10 min of aggressive flying after letting Airhawk fly for 5min or so. For those of us that have been flying a while, it is a must have at this price. It is a great plane with which to buddy box someone new to the hobby. With a large field this plane could be a "teach yourself" plane. Today, a calm day, Airhawk flew my plane and seemed to really enjoy it (hopefully he and NRM add their own impressions). His maiden was on the high wind day and we had flying in the otherwise challenging conditions. In beginner mode it was hard to put the nose down and gain any forward speed but the plane flew great in expert mode.Īfter flying the my plane Notreallyme quickly bought one of his own. There was almost no forward movement, the plane just rose. In beginner mode the plane gained altitude like it was being hoisted skyward. My second flight had the plane flying in 15mph winds with 25mph gusts. This isn't a hotliner but the power is much more than adequate. Even on a 2S battery the plane rises smartly and loops easily. I did take the time to thoroughly trim the plane mechanically before the first flight. There was no change in attitude of the plane. On the maiden switching from beginner to expert mode was low drama. Expert mode may require a little down elevator to keep the plane for climbing too steeply on full throttle but that is nothing unusual. Once i was sure that the plane was dialed in a launch in expert mode was no more dramatic. Most of my launches were in Beginner mode because if I have a safety I am going to use it to protect my investment. In the air the Conscendo flies as well or better than expected. $27 more than a UMX radian for this hardware can't be beaten. At the current price of $129 (117 with a 10% off coupon code which can be found with a google search) this plane is a steal. The components, including the servos (the plane is 4 channel) are all quality. It is a equipped with a park 370 motor and a standalone SAFE enabled RX. The plane comes with a 16A ESC with an EC3 plug and an adapter to fit the EC2 plugged battery. Like the Delta Ray and the Sport Cub S the Conscendo has a Beginner Mode, Intermediate and Expert Modes. Also shared with the Delta Ray is HH's patented SAFE stability system. The plane is powered by a 2S 1300mAh battery shared with the Delta Ray. The Concendo Z is a parkflyer (59" wingspan) sized motor glider from Horizon Hobby.
