Your added information has made the difference between a frustrating build and an enjoyable build. I hope HK picks up your video and links it to this plane.
That was a clear and Informative video and really appreciate you doing that. I do not own one of these, yet lol, but I can see one in my future. Wish they had the blue Angels paint scheme but the Coast Guard one is pretty sweet. Thanks again
Thanks for the great information. So many little things separate Avios from Freewing or FMS. Still a great looking plane. But Avios needs to do all the little things that bring the end user an easier assembly. Having to cycle the landing gear is a controller issue that has been resolved a few years ago.........along with esc calibration. Thanks for saving many customers headaches.
Great video, very informative; however Im new at this RC hobby after serving for over 20 years in the service , and Im having issues trying to set an aux channel for my cargo bay on my C-130, I have a TGY 9x Turnigy. Hope you can help. Thanks
Hi I just bought the hobbyking c130. Thanks for video. In the video, you have mentioned "that lead from the UBCE need to plug into the open channel of your receiver" Could you please to let me know where is it ? I found inside the plane there is a small mother board with 3 pin empty. I wonder if the small mother board with a lot of sockets plugged in is the receiver of the plane ? many thanks. Henry
I'm looking to download someone's Spektrum DX8 gen1 export file for this plane. I've been watching TH-cam videos and reading posts but cannot get the flaps to work properly.
Ahoy Sir. I just purchased my own C-130 Blue Angel. This will be #405 of my R/C collection. Saw this plane at Fall Nall , SC last year and been waiting for it to come back in stock. Will take your advice on the setup. Arrgh. Capt Morgan. BFT,SC
Great video and certainly helped me; just got the grey version and straight away noticed paint coming off around the access door after a few times. Have ordered some appropriate foam covering I've used before . One further, are the decals provided water based? Kind of lends more weight to a further clear covering before doing anything from a build perspective. Also did you have any issues with the rudder as mine seems stiff in one direction and seems like i may have to trim in between the fin and the rudder itself?
Can you please show how the flaps operate? Is the 13mm deflection for both inner and outer? I did not see your inner move at all when the outer moved. You set it at 1 ail and 1 flap and operate both from separate switches?
Great Video, definitely clears up a few questions i had as i have used Polycrylic High Gloss before it even started. Did you do a mix for the inboard and outboard flaps so that you could use them with one switch, or keep them separated?
2 questions. Is your port side inner motor cocked to the left and can you be clear on the ailerons and flap set up in receiver? 1 ail 2 flaps is what I think you said.
Great video, very helpful. I have just purchased one. I am having a problem with radio setup. Using a Taranis X9D with X8R receiver. Only 8 channels, I find I need another for the UBEC. Can I connect the UBEC to the throttle channel with the throttle? Cheers & greetings from New Zealand.
I also have an 8 channel RX, used a Y lead and have both ailerones into it, the inner and outer flaps to AUX1-2, the cargo to AUX3. This is with my Spektrum DX9 and a Spektrum 8 channel receiver. Hope this helps
@@alexevans5341 Do you mean you tied aileron and BEC with Y connector to one of the receivers channels? I also have 8 channel receiver and having problems how to plug 9 things to 8 channel receiver.
I am in the filippines , there are no hobby shops for over a 100 miles . There has been some issue about the cost of shipping . There are maybe 20 different radio systems that can be used . what radios is good for this ? What about the receiver and controller connection to servo's . Cost , no one has told me the cost of the plane and radio .
I do not manage to calibrate the ESC's... in most cases the right outbound motor starts first and drags the model to the left, no chance to start a straight run for takeoff.... Any suggestions?
@@7demo7review Well, thanks - but it doesn't matter what I did, the outbound right motor starts at a higher RPM. Is it a faulty motor, or a faulty electronic somewhere?
Hello Jeff, thanks for the great videos. Did you have any issues concerning the CG? I just got my c130, it's all ready with a 2200mah battery. The manual says the cg is 65mm behind the leading edge of the wing (which makes sense: roughly 1/3 of the wing). But the airplane is very nose heavy... ou said something about putting in a 3000mah to get longer flight and a heavier nose that probably be good for this airplane. But even with the 2200mah it's already very nose heavy. I would have to put a 36grammes weight way out on the tail (I don't know how I will fiw it there yet) to get it slighly nose down as it should be. Any ideas? Thanks
I double checked, the 4s 2200mah is its craddle, my two fingertips are at 68mm from the leading edge... nope, nose down! To get a nice balance, I need to bring fingertips 1.75mm closer to the leadingedges. If I put a 36grammes weight of the flat surface behind the rudder (I used an 8mm diam bolt and screw), then I get a slight nose down, which is generally what I like to start off with. I don't see how I can install the battery any further down the fuselage, there are so many wires on top of the gear assembly. So too bad but I won't be able to go with a 3000mah. Maybe your c130 was a preproduction model, the production one a little bit different? Or the cockpit crew of this c130 need to go on a serious diet!! Maybe FatAlbert was reffering to the captain and not the plane! How do you add weight to the tail of your models? I use bolts and screws... Efficient but looks really ugly. Thanks for your ideas. Stephan (France)
Hi Jeff, please can you help, I've got an early spectrum dx8 , I've plugged one flap into Aux 1, the other flap into Aux 2 and the cargo door into aux 3.( turn knob). I can't get the flaps to work either individually or together, also the cargo just opens and doesn't move at all by the turn knob, the instructions mention setting up with 2 flaps and 2 aileron wing set up. Please can you help me set up my radio and controls??
Jeff Yang hi Jeff, thanks for your reply it worked well. Question, it says to mix aileron to rudder, however I've got a dx8 spectrum when I add the mix the rudder goes in the opposite direction to the ailerons Ie. Turning left the rudder directs the plane to the right, is this correct? Must admit I've flown over twenty models I have I'm guilty of not really using rudder other than take of n landing, I just use aileron and up elevator on my turns for my warbirds? Can you tell me that opposite rudder is correct n why?. Big question?.. Kind regards Graham
The rudder is not correct, right rudder should result in right rudder movement. Just reverse the rudder channel. I never use channel mixing- it’s not necessary for this model
@@7demo7review Could you explane this more presicely? I am a little confused how to connect 9 things (ail, elev, throttle, flap1, flap2, gear, garco door and BEC) to 8 channel receiver. Where do I plug the BEC if I plugg one flap to Aux 1 and the other flap (=flap2) to Aux2. On the video you recommend to connect the BEC to an open channel in the receiver. Should I plug BEC to one of the receivers channels (1-8) alone or with Y connector together with someone else?
Great video. As stated below lots of good info to help with the multitude of things left out of the manual. Although your radio is different from mine your explanation will help me set up my spectrum radio. I am a little confused about the flap setup. Did you add a "y" harness so that both the inboard and outboard flaps operate from a single switch or are you operating them independently on 2 switches? Additionally, I purchased the HK recommended 4S 3000 battery and sadly it is too long to sit fully down into the battery tray. I had to add a 1/2 inch piece of foam under the battery so it would sit fully down without putting pressure against the sides of the fuselage. Great tip on the polycrylic. I have used it on several of my foam models and it works great. Thanks again for the tips and thanks in advance for the clarification on the flap settings.
The outboard flaps are y’ed together and the inboard flaps are y’ed together. I had them on two different slider switches. I just thinks it looks cooler to operate them independently. I’ve heard of people using another y cable to connect them all together. You would need a servo reverser to do this because the inner flap servo will go the wrong way
Thanks for the clarification. This means I will need at least a 9-channel receiver. This is a great looking model and I (and my envious friends) are so looking forward to its maiden flight. Thanks again for the tips.
should only be 8 channels- the ailerons also have a Y. 1 ailerons 2- elevator 3 throttle 4 outer flap 5 inner flap 6 gear sequencer and gear 7 rudder 8 cargo door This is not the order, just counting the channels. Some wanted the ailerons on 2 channels for differential but it would be hard to do electronically because the y lead is deep in the fuselage. Good luck!
You were right again, thanks. After I bound the receiver to my spectrum radio I unplugged the BEC from Aux 2 and plugged it into the bind/battery position on my 8-channel receiver. I then was able to plug Flap 2 into Aux 2 and set it up to control the inboard flaps. If there are other subscribers using a spectrum radio I'd be glad to share how I have it set up. One other thing, as I stated earlier the 3000 mAh battery would not sit properly in the battery tray without adding a piece of foam under it. Given that and the fact that getting the battery in and strapped down is certainly difficult I chose to put the battery strap through the longitudinal slots which allows me to turn the battery to sit along that axis. Not only is it much easier to put in/take out but also balancing was a snap and oh yes even allows me to use an even larger capacity battery for longer flight duration.Thanks again for the very informative videos, given the totality of information that is missing from the manual I would have been totally in the dark.
You mentioned at the end your sending the C130 out to somebody. Does that mean if someone sends you the plane you get it all set up for them? I'm a novice and trying to get going with this hobby but setting up the radio with the deflection on that leaves me confused. Ive been trying to learn but everybody ive asked for help just doesnt have the patience or doesnt know either.
No, I bought it knowing I wouldn’t keep it- so I sold it after the Maiden flight. My local runway is too small. I would not recommend this airplane for a novice!
Hi, you mentioned the Minwax product, is it actually a wax or polycrylic, or polyurethane? Also, you said to brush it on, and does it just dry, or does it need to be wiped off, etc. Amazon has many Minwax products, could you add a link to your description or here so we get the right one? I know that Texas dude for one would be very appreciative. And this video is also very helpful and I also think HK should add this to there web site so that other C-130 owners may benefit.
Wow that landing gear cycling EVERY time you power up is a PITA. They need to fix that. There are plenty examples out there with sequencers that don't do this.
Just seen it and liked it, love the model but a question above and beyond. In multi-engined planes, there is a start-up sequence, the engines number from 1 to 4 left (Port) to right (starboard) looking forward. The most common sequence is engines 3, 4, 2 then 1. The sequence is history going back to the main battery being starboard side near the starboard wing and closest to engine 3 hence on start up the engine 3 had the least battery drop for starting. Close down was not a specific and a random close down would be OK. A clip I have seen uses a "Tims Universal Timer" it may set up delays from 1 second through to hours. Was on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/DZgzJmMqlzI/w-d-xo.html You may have other or maybe better ideas.
Took my new C-130 out today for its maiden flight and I totaled the airplane. Not sure what happened everything was working perfect and try went on my downwind leg in the plane started rolling to the left and spiraled all the way to the ground with no control. I had a new battery new a channel spectrum receiver and everything was working fine at take off. Here is the video of what happened: th-cam.com/video/y80bNcWMV50/w-d-xo.html
No, it’s typical of all kits- they have their quirks. I’m putting this information out there to give people the best knowledge before buying- it is an amazing kit!

I was hoping you might explain what the servo plug marked up as “Brake” does though.
I’m a little confused by this!
It opens the cargo door in the rear of the plane
According to HK, the work BRAKE is Mandarin for "Cargo Door".
@@jimquibell4634 they called it BRAKE lol with cargo door open the plane will BRAKE the speed also :)

There’s not much too them- they just slide rearward-
@@7demo7review so we can adjust them for full travel
This was true with the V1 planes right . V2 has improvements to fix several issues
Yes, mine was the first batch- what did they improve in the later versions?
I see that you don't have a Sprectrum Transmitter, how does that one work and how does it aligns with a Spectrum receiver?
You’ll need a spektrum rx with enough channels

Put them on y cables on each side

Not sure what happened everything was working perfect and try went on my downwind leg in the plane started rolling to the left and spiraled all the way to the ground with no control. I had a new battery new a channel spectrum receiver and everything was working fine at take off. Here is the video of what happened: th-cam.com/video/y80bNcWMV50/w-d-xo.html
Wow, sorry to see that- one of my aileron horns were unglued in my Unboxing- maybe you lost an aileron- or loss of contact w airplane

Thank you,,, I think,, lol
So basically a plane sold as RTF but needs mods and upgrades to work properly. Typical HK product.
No, it’s typical of all kits- they have their quirks. I’m putting this information out there to give people the best knowledge before buying- it is an amazing kit!
