Can set break in esc

I do not set the prop break on, just take a long flat glide approach and chop throttle with 100metres to go before touchdown. In all fairness I do fly off grass.

Guess not many on here,or no one on here for this plane! 😂

Hey guys! loving my havok and is a blast to fly, but the only problem is that I keep breaking props! I need somesort of prop brake that can be switched on and off. can this be done with the ESC or do I need to go mechanical?

Sky bandit,yes it's supposed to cocked over at angle like that,if not u could've fly it it would tork roll into ground on u! 😆

Anyone got suggestions on which color to get so can see better flying?¿?

Bjr. à tous, est-il possible de lancer le Havok racer au caoutchouc en l'équipant d'une petite crosse ?

no need to do that, just launch underhand, half throttle, use a gyro on auto level . Do not launch on full throttle or it will torque roll

I use 7x6 TGS electric prop, break OFF. Cut motor WELL before landing, long flat approach, slow right down, yet to break a prop ( says he tempting fate )

Hello! I just got my havok but when i started assembling it i noticed that the front plastic part of the plane and the propshaft is not aligned with the rest of the plane. Do any of you know if it's supposed to look like this ( see pictures) or i have received a faulty unit?

Best regards.

This looks normal, the offset is to help counter the torque from the motor. If you go to full throttle at hand launch the model will drop the left wing violently and crash into the ground. The offset motor helps mitigate this. If you look closely the shaft is at right angles to the plastic nose cone so the nose cone has also been set correctly to ensure correct prop clearance relative to the nose . Forgive me for asking but have you built and flown many planes before only that is the sort of question a relative beginner would ask. If you are a beginner with little flying experience then perhaps put this model aside, do some research, visit your local model flying club and consider buying something more appropriate to learn on..

My Havok with stock motor and 7x6 tgs electric prop pulling 48amp 700w at Full throttle static and 400watts at half throttle. Waiting for 8x6and 8x8 JXF props( closer in profile to the stock prop ) to arrive for testing. All up weight with 2200mah 60c 4s lipo and A3V2 gyro 1050gms so at 666watts per kg it is probably more than enough for the early flights.

I have not purchased a Havoc yet but may do so. What is the diameter of the prop shaft? want to use a folding prop and need to know the shaft diameter. Thanks.

New to this forum, and a little late to the Havok party, but picked one of these up yesterday. I plan on flying it stock with a 4S 2500 50C batteries, and also have an 8x8 APC E prop to try. I’m not really interested in 5 or 6S setups as I have a pretty fast Funjet Ultra already. I’d like to set this plane up to be more of a pattern flyer with reduced rates and run a FrSky SR6 Archer receiver with stabilization. I think this is a neat plane.

Speaking of pattern airplanes, I wish Skynetics could make a replica of one of my favorite small pattern ships of yesteryear, the Ace RC Pacer (1/2A size). I built one from kit in the mid 90s with a throttled Norvel .061 engine, and think it would be cool on a similar electric setup as this Havok. The Pacer was so cool…flew a lot like a .60 size pattern ship in miniature, and landed power off like a glider (had molded foam wings). I really liked the looks of this airplane…more of a classic but sharp look as opposed to what modern pattern planes look like. If they made a replica of this, I wonder what sort of interest there would be? It seems like more scale like plans are more popular, but I’d buy one in a heartbeat! The Pacer just has “that look” that pushes all the right buttons.

Just got the Havok and flew it.... Very fun and fast plane stock! I'll probably play around with this one and modify it but for now, I am very impressed. One question... I land on dirt and the air scoop on the bottom gets clogged up. Any issue with blocking off that intake?

Here's the flight. This is the 2nd flight of the Havok.

Hi! I have 4 flights on my new Havoc. Fun, good flying racer. But. I have also broken 4 propellers. 4 flights. 4 props. This is going to get expensive. lol Any suggestions on how to save the prop?

APC props and ESC brake

love the sound, are you on 4s or 5s?

Here is a clip from a couple of us racing.

The EFXtras don’t play well with others. Here is a V900 that my racer took out mid flight. We think my main wing broke off his vertical stab mid race.
