Wow, Avios C-130's were up, now all gone. Unbelievable!

To much money for a parkflyer

Ya know, I said I wouldn't buy one. I just couldn't resist. I flew these 6 years formally, and took random flights for years after that. If it wasn't for that I probably wouldn't had done it. I don't think it's reasonable to expect me to buy a Corsair, (even a really nice one) when I have (3) already. One I spent 6 months tinkering with, and making it look just the way I want. Yea it's a Dynam, not a Flightline, but I'm attached to it. So yea, maybe some day, maybe.

My plan was to get a grey one and a Blue Angels one. I had both when I selected them, then lost the Blue Angels one during my checkout process. It will be interesting to see how long to reload. I figure 2 or 3 months.

Yes, Im going to have that Albatross too. All ready figuring out my plan to add retracts to it.

I can't fault you for not resisting. I've always wanted a C-130 and one day, when I've crashed enough planes to make the space, I may knuckle under myself. I haven't spent more than $150.00 with HobbyKing for nearly a year. My last plane was the BushMule to replace my SkyMule and even that purchase was not without its drama and problems. I hated giving them the money but I have to admit, their customer service agent was superb and more than made up for all the ignorant stupidity of their online rep. If it wasn't for HobbyKing almost a decade ago, I would not have gotten back into RC. They really need to re-assess their people. Get rid of the ones who do dumb things and get some better PR people before they find themselves back in the dark ages.

My experience with the C130 as a customer was sleeping on the loading ramp all the way from Midway Island to Hawaii.

Had my Dogbones on and my jacket as a blanket
the drone from the 4 turbo props I was out like a cheap light bulb

Don't know if anyone cares, but mine will look as similar as I can make it to this.

Yep like that scheme alot

Maybe they had only one. LOL I've given up on their C-130, witnessing the supply fiasco and some of the initial idiosyncrasies and bad HK rep behavior on the other forum. Bought the Flightline Corsair instead (along with 3 other planes). Perhaps when summer comes and they have a "fire sale" on them, I'll reconsider. ;) Also waiting for their Albatros water bomber to see what kind of drama ensues with that one.

I am glad I got mine on the first go around,it has its issue but honestly the actual surface finish,mouldings,detail....visually it is on par or better than my planes from Freewing.

now the electronics not so much,but it flies fantastic and the Fat Albert is beutiful in the air.

[Delizar]

I'm not surprised. There was a lot of built up hype and demand for this plane. Not unlike a few planes from Motion that sold out on the first shipment in under a day. The real question is....how long before the 2nd shipment arrives? I say good for HK, they brought to market something that the public sure seems to want. I hope they can follow through, at least the parts and touch up paint are already on the shelves.
