This plane is so easy to launch....set all my controls gave a 3/4 throttle underhand toss and off it went straight up no torque roll are bad tendencies.
It goes together pretty fast too.

Sounds like you are having fun with it TaSajaRa.. I have not received mine yet, but with all the snow we have been getting there is no where to fly it here in the Black Hills of SD anyway. Hurry up Spring, I am Feeling the Need' the Need for Speed LOL!!!!!

Shes here; the foam finish is very good and the green really pops, she's a looker. And the motor and esc look to be quite robust, so I think it's going to be a wild ride...

[Wild Man]

Couldn't help but to order one it's on the way also ordered 3 of admirals 4 cell 3,000 batteris can't wait to see which one is faster. The E-Flite V-900 or the Havoc . May even put a set of Q40 main gear under it. Air foiled aluminium I have laying around with the cookie cutter wheels

TaSaJaRa Those are very nice!! Thanks for sharing!!! Welcome aboard the Squawk!!! Jerry

I had someone print me a pair. They certainly improve the look of the top of the wing!

Thanks for designing these TaSaJaRa!

N/P... I wanted some myself... so why not share..

[TaSaJaRa]

Thanks for posting these updates, TaSaJaRa, I'll print them soon. I enjoy flying things designed by other people around the world.

Are you using 100% infill for these prints?

YES... 100% the base plate and sides are so thin they need to be solid.

UPDATE: To my Servo Covers design...
I made V3 of servo cover. I didn't like how thin the transition is between
the mount plate and arched tunnel. (May Crack if you don't get great bonding at this point)
So I added beveled filler at this point making it a much stronger joint.

Should be a good addition to my fleet of racer'. May have to get one. Love the huge Battery bay. I had to carve out quite a bit of the hatch on my V-900 to accept the 4 cell I wanted to use 😎

I'm in Havoc here on Tuesday

[champdavid96]

Thanks guys! I'm landing on grass and coming in very slow like y'all said to do. Also, no esc braking. I haven't really been flaring the nose though. I will try that and see. Thanks again!

[JayP]

I like to use the brake, and make sure with small throttle blips that it's horizontal before I let it touch. No more broken props for me.

[JamesonC]

I'm I the only one breaking props when landing the Havoc? I've made solid landings and still breaking prop blades. Any suggestions please?

Welcome to Squawk!

I haven't broken one yet. My guess is you're just coming in pretty fast. First few landings on my Havok, I was shocked how long I could hold it right off the ground in a flair. Like James said, it will get crazy slow before it finally falls out of the air. Get it right over the grass and hold that flair as long as you can and bleed off all the speed. Shouldn't break any if you hit the ground slow.

Welcome to Hobby Squawk champdavid96! 1st question, do you have the airbrake on the ESC turned on or off? If it is on then the motor stops immediately when you bring the throttle down and "locks". If so that will guarantee more prop breakage. You want the airbrake off so the prop can freely turn. Then when you land the prop will spin out of the way if it touches the grass. If the brake is already off, then you really want to slow her down and flair on your landing. This bird will slow to a snail's pace and just plop on the grass when landed correctly. Also, are you landing on grass or pavement?

[refrigeration]

anyone have a link to the Havok user/specification manual?
I got mine!! Doing the math now for 3s, 4s and 6s. 6s probably to much, but what the heck, new parts will get here at some point lol.
Thanks

Do tell!
