General
The model is of good finish and pleasing appearance although some features of the
construction and assembly leave a bit to be desired.
Manual / Instruction book
Manual does not describe the model as it is purchased. Differences are to be noted with
regard to the sound system in particular.
Issues Encountered on Assembly
Speed control failed on powering up – replaced (by way of account credit) by HobbyKing,
One flap servo inoperative on arrival - replaced (by way of account credit) by HobbyKing,
Missing sound module mount - replaced (by way of account credit) by HobbyKing.
As noted above the manual provided seems not to be for this specific variant of the “Texan”
which was also disappointing. The content of the manual specifically related to the sound
system is not related to this model.
Both of these aspects have been referred to HobbyKing with advices from them that
corrections will be made although as of compiling this note nothing has been noted on the
website in the files section.
Build Record
I have maintained a photographic build record of my construction of this model and whilst
in no way do I feel it covers all the possibilities that may exist – or methods that might be
utilised – I have done this to assist others in my recognising the shortcomings of the
provided documentation and the difficulties they may cause.
A number of the modifications have been gleaned from other sources on the WWW with
some of them copied / varied by myself in an effort to further improve the build and
hopefully the longevity and flying capabilities of the aircraft.
This note is current as of October 7, 2013.
