- IT'S BACK ! Durafly Excalibur v2 HOTLINER / SLOPE SOARER
AVAILABLE HERE: bit.ly/durafly...
Take the components out of the box and this new version of the Excalibur takes less than 20 minutes to assemble ! Takes a 4S1500 to 2200 pack and even with the heavier pack it will cruise around with throttle off at height without losing much altitude. Of course this Excalibur is all about speed. So much fun taking it up high, rolling it on it's back and pulling back to dive across the patch after the prop has folded back. Hear the zzzing as it whistles past you !

Nice looking fast one...
Nice video clear and tomthe point 👏👏 cheers
So Hobby King send you a free aircraft to review in the UK - but when I go to purchase it its £179.39 and the only shipping option is from Global , so postage comes in at another (at best £89.00) worst £109.18 so that's a good (at best £268.39) before HMRC take a bite for Import Tax - its one expensive V2 for us meek mortals that live in the UK and have to purchase our aircraft.... thanks but no thanks....
Temporary shipping issue from EU warehouse apparently. Told me they are trying to resolve it. Just have to be patient buddy.
Awsome in flight video - did you use a drone ??
Yes. A custom race drone.
Looks like a fantastic flyer. I was interested until I saw the cost of delivery. Unfortunately hobbyking shutting down their UK warehouse has now priced themselves out of the hobby..
Hopefully it will be available to UK customers from the EU warehouse at a reasonable price in the near future.
Hi, its true that i can fly with 3s or 4s without change propeller?
Yes. 4S more fun.
Nice, but HobbyKings postal costs are nearly as much as the model which makes it unreachable for me in the UK.
Just because it's only available in HK warehouse doesn't mean its a good idea to order it from there if you're in UK 😆
What c rating 2200 4 s battery are you running?
30C minimum
I wonder if you put a long range fpv system on it...
You could but there are better RC aircraft for that. This flies best with no added weight and nothing added to the fuselage externally to create drag.
I would not call it a slope soarer it very heavy
GOOD MORNING DOM THANKYOU FOR ANOTHER INFORMATIVE VIDEO OF A COOL LOOKING PLANE. THANKS FOR POSTING SIR 🇬🇧👍🏻
Love the model but not the £130 delivery charge unfortunately. Shame
Let’s be realistic who is going to pay £130 postage in the uk
Nobody. We're waiting for it to be available in EU warehouse
Nice looking V2. Not great flight with hand brake turn👍🏻
You bet your ars I can see that's one bad son-of-a-buck! Nice indeed.
I think this was one of your best videos to date. The drone video footage really added a lot of interest.
As soon as they solve the UK shipping issue, I’m gonna have me one of these bad boys.
Awesome looking Glider might have to add to my present list
So much better than my wallowing Radian Pro was👍
I fail to see why you are still supporting Hobby King for us UK model flyers. The truth for us is that this model retails at £180 and postage from HK is a further £100. These crazy prices are prohibitive for all UK modellers. HK withdrew from the UK market leaving their UK staff unemployed and their UK customers without any support. I beleive you should stop showcasing their products here in the UK.
My understanding is that shipping to the UK from EU warehouse is a temporary problem and they are trying very hard to solve it. Why would you even consider buying large models from HK warehouse. It's obvious the shipping will be expensive 😆. I have made a lot of orders with HK over the years, buying from UK, EU and HK warehouses mostly without issue. If I did have a problem it was always resolved by talking to their customer support folks. I'll be continuing supporting them thanks very much. 😉
Hehe,, the drone what filmed the "hotliner" is bored about that speed :-)
Cool machine, I'm almost tempted. Nice tip on roughing up the prop shaft, cheers 👍
Thanks Cliff 👍
I’m sorry but I will not be ordering one of these. The UK warehouse is no more, and the EU warehouse does not ship to the UK. I’ve just checked and the cheapest shipping option from the Global warehouse is £143 to send it to the UK.
I'm aware of the UK shipping problems. They are trying very hard to solve it.
@@EssentialRC I’m not implying that HK are at fault. I’ve noticed since the start of this year the changes to importing to the UK. I’ve had three Banggood orders cancelled with the reason given that they cannot ship to the UK. Even some European dealers I’ve used over the years have now stopped shipping to the UK.
Great video! 👍
I have the V1 and I still enjoy it alot.
A great flyer with unlimited vertical. I especially love the "wooosh" sound it makes on highspeed unpowered flyby, which can be heard on your vid, too
It's nice that they improved the screws, the ones on the V1 are a little bit flimsy.
The screws I got are horrible!
Very nice 👍👍
Any room for a flight controller?
No 👎
What receiver did you use in your set up?
Beautiful Plane and fly
Hello good sir,
I'm wondering what you think about adding flaperons in the mix , to slow it down when landing?
No harm trying.
Thanks, you just made a sale.. Nice flying my friend.
Thank you for sharing as well.
Thanks 👍
Hi, I am a new pilot looking to get more into the hobby, I alread have some basic flying experience (from the eachine warbirds) and I was wondering if bigginer pilot like me could have a nice time flying this plane?
Yes but advise you get help from an experienced RC pilot first time you fly it
@@EssentialRC Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunatelly, I do not know any experienced pilots in my area.
I am looking for a plane, that is in the range of 100 - 180 euros and is begginer friendly, but I will also be able to also enjoy in the future, as an intermiediate pilot. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!
@@PericlesParaponiaris www.fmshobby.com/products/fms-2300mm-fox-v2-pnp-with-reflex-v2?ref=EssentialRC
@@EssentialRC Thanks for the quick reply and the help! I did check the FOX V2, but it is a bit above my badget, and I think that 2.3 meters is a bit too long. What do you think about the "Durafly Prime Tundra PT1200", the "Swiss J-3 Piper Cub" or the "Durafly SlowPoke" from hobby king?
One again, thanks for your time and help, I appriciate it!
@@PericlesParaponiaris Tundra would be more durable. That would be the best option
What's the top speed on that power glider?
Is it faster than the crescendo evolution 🤔
No idea. Not measured it. Don't think it really matters. Was more concerned with how it flies.
do the aileron servos lock up like the V1 did at high speed
If you watched the vid I suspect you'd have your answer. Can't imagine why a servo would 'lock up'. Don't really understand what that means.
A stunner for sure. Did something fall off around 6:24?
No. That was a Red Kite bird of prey that I flew past.
Can beginners fly it?
Only if assisted by another experienced RC pilot using a buddy transmitter
A pretty bunch of bugs for a foamie?!?
Cost of the hobby has gone up everywhere...but HK still good price compared to other vendors like Horizon.
@@EssentialRC true... but no reason to Name me 'Buddy' !
Edited. Just being friendly. Whatever. 🙄
Yep. Want one. That's one hot doggy. Thanks for the flight review Dom. I already liked the look of it, but seeing it fly was something else.
Thanks for watching!
