Dynam Hawker Hurricane V2 1250mm (49") Wingspan - PNP

This is based on unboxing /assembly only as I have yet fly due to a spell of wet and windy weather that just won’t give up. The kit makes up to be a sturdy and attractive model with a scale like and impressive presence. My only comment at this stage is that the underside of the wing is very untidy with the wiring channels untaped and wires exposed, this is a pity as model is well equipped with flaps/ailerons and U/C all being power supplied by numerous wires.

The instructions left much to be desired, and were yellowed from age, so I have no idea how old this plane was. The decals could have been better and the paint was chipped in several places and missing in a few. The rod for the rudder was 2 inches short and had to be replaced which was no small task.

Love this plane for its detailed scale look. This is my second in two months after I crashed my first. Unfortunately, I've had a few quality issues. Most notably a bad ESC in the new model. I had to use the ESC from the crashed model which works perfectly. It would have been a major problem if I didn't have that. Overall beautiful looks and flies well. Motion RC is a great company to do business with. The best online hobby supplier that i have dealt with and that's quite a few.

Hurracain arrived in good time and good condition unfortunately it had a bad servo ,but motion rc sent me a new one no problem and fast..i really like there customer service there knowledgeable and sort out problems asap,i will definitely be buying again from these guys..

Nice plane, quality ok for its price... Flies well, no surprises in behaviour. It’s a pity that flaps and exhausts are not scale... Although in the air it looks nice. Had to add 90 grams of wheight in the nose to have CG in range with Admiral 4s 2200 mAh. During first flight left landing gear failed to come down and had to belly land. Landing gear strut came loose, had to fix it by changing the screws in the electric retract, works well now. Flaps do help slowing the plane down but even without flaps landings are easy. Have around 10 flights, I’m happy how it performs and enjoy flying it. It’s a keeper. Was my first motion rc experience. Loved it, ordered during lunch break on Monday, delivered on Tuesday (next day) in the morning.

Very good looking warbird alot better looking than I expected,the foam is the toughest I have seen,flies nice very stable with a 28004s ,had to replace rudder servo little 9g servo not up to rudder and tailwheelwould not center put in a 12g servo works fine now ,new tomcat motor is smooth plenty of power I give it 5 stars even with servo change, great plane for the money as usual great customer service and fast shipping ,got to love motion rc

I don't know if it's just me and mine but my Hurricane was way out of CG. The suggested battery was nowhere near enough to keep the nose down. I added almost two pounds in the nose to make it barely into limits. Even then, it still wanted to keep the nose up in flight. I know its a fighter and they're supposed unstable but this guy seemed all over the place. The gear malfunctioned before my first flight, only one wheel would come back down after going up. Had that replaced and it worked great, until I flew it. Brought the other gear up and belly landed in the grass so it wasn't too terrible. All in all, I'd love to keep her flying, the Hurricane is my favorite warbird of them all and this model looks amazing, but it's just not worth it.

The landing gear struts on Dynam warbirds are little better than coat hangar wire. I used Hangar 9 40 size landing gear struts with the coil, drilled out the trunnions to 5/32nds and installed them in the Hurricane. We fly off grass and with the shock absorbing struts have experienced no problems. When the gear is retracted the missing gear covers are not an issue. With a little effort the gear doors could be attached if desired.

I was having great difficulty when slowing and flaring to touch down. When attempting to flare the airplane would roll quickly, usually to the left and if you weren't really quick with rudder and aileron you would catch a wing tip and flip over. With no shock absorbing coils in the landing gear struts a bent strut was usually the result. I solved the problem by raising both ailerons 1/16th of an inch thus inducing some washout due the ailerons being at the wing tips. With 15% exponential on the elevator I can now make smooth slow gentle landings as with my Dynam Spitfire and P-51.
