RE: Hornet Shweizer 300
Thanks Hoverup for the photo.
Can you give me sum information about its flight characteristics and crash tolerability, I mean it's easy to control and hover, it's stable, can it resist sever crashes ?
What can you tell me about its assembly and setting-up, it's easy?
Thanks for your help.

RE: Hornet Shweizer 300
Great flyer. Very stable in the hover. It does pitch up in forward flight like most FP helis. It's not all that crash survivable. Boom strikes by the mainblades seem to be the most common and expensive scenario. It's fairly easy to build but the shaft driven tail can be tough to set up. This is not a good beginner's heli even though it was my first heli of any kind or size. I would go with one of the Feda/HummingBird/Piccolo clones if I were starting over and knew then what I now know.

RE: Hornet Shweizer 300
Hornet is harder to set up, which can be very discouraging for a beginner. That being said the quality of the components in the Hornet kit are much better than the Piccolo IMHO. Tail motors burning out have been solved by the use of higher frequency ESC's.
