Hi David, thats a great insight into the effects of fuselage length, curled up wing tips and other stability issues, ive just learned a heck of alot in a very short time, thanks for that.
I've just purchased an A600 before I knew how brittle the foam is. As a very new plane pilot I can see this video being of some use very quickly! Thanks & subbed. ;-)
theoztreecrasher thanks for your comments, ya the a600 is brittle but it’s probably my favorite micro plane , so much fun can be had in small spaces ,I actually bought a second one after making this vid .happy flying
@@rcpilots1291 Yo back my friend. Just been watching your video on the XK X520. They suit me better coming from quads - fast, manoeuvrable and tough as all hell! Heaps of crashes but still flying. Love the accent by the way. Takes me back to holidays in Waking Ned Devine country. ;-) Cheers from Aus.
theoztreecrasher ah ‘top o da mornin to ya ‘ me ole shamrock 😂, the 520 is defo a plane for those ‘crazy moments’ the camera is the excellent firefly micro cam -banggood site sells them. I know someone moving to Melbourne in a few months time so I must get him to meet you for a beer 🍻 , I bet ye are all friends in that lil country of yours lol
@@rcpilots1291 LOL. Thanks for that. And to be sure to be sure, I'll pop down to meet him after work one evening for a beer & some craic. Only about 2000 miles or so from my end of the country. 😂
thanks for posting. good work. here are some things to consider. at 5:31, the planform of this model is that of a self-launching glider; note the slightly excessive distance between the elevator and main wing. this can result in unpredictable responses to control inputs, when a model is flown under power, continuously. this increases weight, aft, and adversely affects the dom of the model. confirm that cg is located at 30 percent of chord; for a normal flying experience. weight at the tail Could be reduced, if the height of the vert-stab was reduced, by about one inch. the curldup wingtips could be Removed. why. at all times, they increase yaw-axis stability. so, responses to yaw axis control inputs are 'conflicted'. cheers googletranslate
Hi,I used the motor from the XKA600 model,its lightweight and much more powerful,it lso swaps easily into the a800 flight control board. Check out 'spares/replacement parts for a600 and good luck
@@rcpilots1291 awesome o just got 1..a800..will be getting It 2morrow..and moding it as well..i dnt have I change the ESC?to a brushless 1?i dnt think i saw u do it..
It would be nice to be able to disable the gyro but I don’t believe that it is possible, it seems To maintain some small amount of stabilisation even in ‘acro mode’
Bob Webber ya, that was my first option, I tried a few slightly bigger motors but they were too heavy relative to their power output, thanks for your feedback
elsby no big diffference in flight times, I’m guessing the brushless motor uses power more efficiently to give similar flight times to the brushed stick motor
MLGSwagPilot Lol I would go with the Xk A600, it’s more versatile with a superior motor and loads and loads of fun, it was one of my first planes and had to buy a second just for back up 👍
Crashrr ,I’m glad you enjoyed this, and yes it is a great little plane, I’m on my third!!!, the camera is a ‘Hawkeye micro camera’. I have a Review video of this mounted on the glider, happy flying.
RC Pilots I’ve just bought one, and one brother has, too. I’m hoping it will have a double life: one as the A800, t’other as the electronics and power for a vintage balsa rubber job conversion.
Hello! May I suggest a better looking repair glue choice? Other than that... I’m with you all the way on this one. Very Cool idea and outcome!! 🆒‼️‼️
BadChizzle thanks for your comments,appreciated! I just love flying a glider this small with a bit of power, happy flying

Please explain or show the aileron wires wired into the 600 board, as the aileron leads are not the standard wiring plug.
Good question, sorry for not mentioning it, I just cut the servo wires and attached the correct fitting 👍
Hi, I bought an A 800 and the height servo is not working, what if I buy a 3 wire servo will I be able to fix it?
Maybe check out the website for plane parts, they should sell replacement servos specific to this model
@@rcpilots1291 I understand you used a different control board, is that correct? Do you have a three-wire servo in your airplane?
@@Ozi007V ya, I used the board from the A600 plane, but it too uses two wired servos
What is the motor you used to swap into the xk A800 ? Or can you recommend one ?? Thanks

@@rcpilots1291 thanking you kindly for the reply. I will check it out.
Is it brushless. The swap out motor?
Willie D yes it is brushless, the motor from the a600 is close in size to the a800
@@rcpilots1291 awesome o just got 1..a800..will be getting It 2morrow..and moding it as well..i dnt have I change the ESC?to a brushless 1?i dnt think i saw u do it..
Is it possible to completely disable gyro on this glider? If I switch off gyro it stil helps stabilizing my plane.
apologies for in replying, i dont think that the gyro can be disabled
It would be nice to be able to disable the gyro but I don’t believe that it is possible, it seems
To maintain some small amount of stabilisation even in ‘acro mode’
Could not the extra trust been achieved by swapping the motor for a bigger (slightly heavier) brushed motor?
Bob Webber ya, that was my first option, I tried a few slightly bigger motors but they were too heavy relative to their power output, thanks for your feedback
Did this mod kill your flight time or was it approached same.as before? Cheers
elsby no big diffference in flight times, I’m guessing the brushless motor uses power more efficiently to give similar flight times to the brushed stick motor
@@rcpilots1291 thanks 😊
Great Job
Hi! I'm looking for a plane that i can fly At the Park.... Should i buy the xk a800 or the a600? I already flew Rc Planes.
MLGSwagPilot Lol I would go with the Xk A600, it’s more versatile with a superior motor and loads and loads of fun, it was one of my first planes and had to buy a second just for back up 👍
@@rcpilots1291 thank you very much!
Great vid, I’m hoping to persuade my brothers to buy one of these, so we can all fly together. What camera did you have mounted on it, please. Cheers

Crashrr that sounds like a great idea 💡
I’d love to see a video when your done
Wow you love your glue.lol
Haha , yes I’d be finished without uhu por
@@rcpilots1291 I just got an A800
Малодец супер !!!!!
