I like that it doesn’t have the strange & noisey servos normally found in micro models. The graphics look great, & for those who want a traditional style Tundra, there is that option. I was notified about this new model only today & you have made a review already. 👍
Great little flyer! I always enjoy your diversity of rc reviews. I typically fly drones but I am wanting to get into a wing or a plane and this looks great to start with. Thank you
Good honest review. It's a super-cute model but I think it's just a bit too heavy/fast for the size. As you mentioned, more wing area or lighter foam would change that. I think you'd have to be pretty brave to try it indoors, unless you have access to a huge venue. Outdoors the standard Tundra (which isn't a big model) takes a lot of beating, particularly the V2.
question is, is it small enough and packable enough to be hiked to the field? Or is it more like the UMX stuff where it's so delicate it needs the great big box to keep it safe?
Good review, and spot on about the power situation. In my case I found it necessary to maintain closer to 80% throttle or risk being too slow, but I was aware of this when I bought it. I am thinking about using a small 3 cell for my next flight. I know the esc will recognize a 3 cell. Is there any info on whether or not a 3 cell is too much? Thanks!
i got a question, im tired o buying hobbyking models and a servo craps out and its done. how are the stock servos in ALL TUNDRAS? Can i trust them or do i need to change them right out the box?
They are doing two versions of the decals, perhaps you'll find the other one less offensive? hobbyking.com/en_us/durafly-micro-tundra-classic-green-pnf-sports-model-w-flaps-epo-635mm-25.html
Nice review Painless, top quality as always.
Congrats for the model, guys. It looks fantastic! 🖖😊
Thanks Lee for showing this. One day I get a plane or wing to fly. Looks so much easier to build and tinker with than quads.

I was lucky to get the model to try a few months ago so this review has been waiting to it to be released.. happy flying

Very nice reveiw. Perhaps HK should engineer and supply a set of slats for the leading edge?
That is a great idea!
Great flying and review, Lee! 😃
Really sweet looking little airplane!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Lots of better options than this for portable back-pack flyers.. 600mm Wings for example are perfect and rugged..
@@Painless360 yeah wings work, but would be nice to have something a bit more interesting to look at in the sky
Grate video .. would som vortex generators on the wings make it bettre in slow speeds?
Maybe, this model just needed a littke more wing area to be a better flyer.. Happy flying
LOVE---LOVE---LOVE my Tundra's. Guess this one is next :-)
Love the art work on it ..
What is the all-up flying weight?

about the HV battery - not having had any experience with them can they be charged like a normal Lipo battery ?
Yes but you charge each cell to 4.35 rather than 4.20.. Modern chargers have settings to charge HV batteries...
Any chance of putting inav inside ? I m big fan of the Tundra too
I'd go for the 'regular' Tundra - wider speed envelope and lots of room inside. This one would be tight and it's heavy enough already...
Thanks for the informative review! 😁

I've never had one fail here so I guess you have been unlucky...
Into the Mole-dor and beyond... ^^
Great video my friend. I enjoyed it. Thanks for posting and big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert
Why now include a small Gyro or or stabilization That would give it more life time
I hope they add one - that may help newer pilots with it..
What is the weight? Less than 250g with battery?
145gms plus weight of your chosen battery according to HobbyKing.
Nice review, i really like micro planes, there fun to fly in small area's! I may have to add this to my fleet of micro's ! 🐾🐾🐾☠
Does this plane take 3s? I only have 3s 460 or 2s 850 battery...
The 2s HV works well and a suspect that a 3s setup would be just too heavy..
Thanks alot for ur reply.. watched alot of u vids reviews and inav.. helpful as always thanks.
Wow...HobbyKing still selling new planes.... that's positive.
Супер малыш. Тоже хочу такой.))
Inav, lol
Not badd 100 bucks for a $75 plane
Terrible colour scheme. Will those decals come off easily.
They look like water transfer on this one so I wouldn't get them too wet! :D

Mine come off in the unboxing... 😓
