@freemarlochip #1 yes, the DX8 was a loaner when we did the review. Shortly after Josh spent his own money to buy one. Then after that, Horizon was so kind to send us one to use on the show. #2 It is DSM 2 compatible.
Purchased this plane 3 days ago and now i can't wait to get this rocket! Great review, thanks a lot! Greetings from Germany (i hope the snow melts in the next days)...
Good review guys, have got a stock setup parkjet and am loving it. Flies unbelievably well for such a little plane. All the guys my club think it's a blast as well. I had to replace the ESC in mine as the motor and 5X5 prop as supplied was pulling 11.8 amps and cutting out (stock esc only rated to 8 amps continuous, 10 amps burst) put in a old 20 amp ESC I had lying around and alls good. Keep up the great reviews.
You guys NEED TO MAKE A PARKJET 2 video. the Parkjet 2 has been out for a very long time! please make another video! i really wanna see it! Also, what battery are you guys running with the 260 watt version?
I just got mine, and it didn't take 15 minutes to put together, it took much longer! I didn't think there would be gluing involved, or having to cut out and put the stickers on either. I don't mind that really - but can you tell me if you guys had to do the same, or did it come already put together? Very good value though, even with putting it all together! Can't wait to get it in the air tomorrow. :)
Hi Josh and Josh, I like your videos and this plane looks like one I would like to add to my collection. Could you guys (in the future) add the links in you reviews that will take us right to the ordering page on the Hobby King site? Thanks again!
Is it worth doing the upgraded motor? Im all about uniqueness and that looks to be what I want. Different from everyone elses at the field. :) Or does adding the extra weight make it less enjoyable. Thanks Guys! :D
Hey FliteTest could you do a review of the Parkjet 2 it comes with a 4500kv motor and I just ordered it yesterday.... and would like to see how you guys handle it.
please answer my question . : Can you put a three cell on it ithout burning the ESC? I bought a 3 cell for this plane but im afraid the ESC will burn because i saw some short videos where they said you shouldn't. Thanks. Love your show.
Im looking at doing the same thing by putting that upgraded motor when mine gets here.. im excited. Did you just put the 1300mah battery up the front? Im hoping I didnt forget anything while its all being shipped at once. ^_^ Thanks fellas! Adam. :)
I have a epo parkjet and it was the first plane that work and I was really happy with the performanc and Flite test just to tell you hobbyking have a mod vid so I did the mod and it is crazy fast but it is 14oz and I crash it but just broke the motor mont but it does fiy very well and I will recomend it hily
a question-most of the builders keep talking about hobby world I think its in florida, how do you order parts over line. or do they have a cataloge, every body says they order from them. please respond. thank you Ronald miller.
What would be a good low kV motor for swinging a 12 inch prop? I build a large wing, about as Big äs the Kraken, but i wanna use One motor and prop at the back.
I am thinking of putting a landing gear on it since I am a beginner and I''m starting to worry and think: I should have bought the beinner plane, the bixler glider. Can you guys help me finding the right landing gear on it? Thanks anyways, LOVE YOUR SHOW IT''S AWESOME!
hi guys! looked pretty cold out there! little josh,s nose was even red,er than normal ;-] Keep up the good work! ps; please let little j fly something!!!!!
Thanks guy for such awesome interesting review. I'm newbie to this hobby and seeking your help. I would like to buy such plane not only because of its handy size but also because of its great solid shape and easy control. Seems that this model is outdated and I have missed it (it has been 2.5 yrs since your review). I need it shipped to Australia.Have you got any other suggestion for me? Cheers!
Hey, I'm in NW Pennsylvania. Been snowing heavy since Saturday night non-stop. You guys must've gotten slammed too. Time for some "Winter Flying Tips" eh?
I've seen a lot of people on forums complaining that it's very hard to hand launch due to the angle in the motor mount. Did you guys have any problems and, if so, how did you fix them?
I upgraded the motor to a 355w 2200kv on 3s 5x5 it was very very fast broke 2 alloy motor mounts , now im running a custom metal mount 755w 3000kv NTM 4.75x4.75 70amp esc 4s 95c 850 nanotech 40% expo on alerons 80% on elevator weighs 0.5kg = 253.73 kph 3/4 throtlle at this speed the control surfaces bend and dont respond well. Whaiting for 4.1x4.1 prop and carbon strips to push it a bit more .
Just watched the dogfight episode (again) and I came up with a challenge: After watching everyone have a difficult time clipping ribbons. Why not try to intentionally crash 2 dog fighters head on at full speed? It seems to me, head on collisions only happen when we don't want them to. Doing one on purpose I bet is really hard. Also, please do a scratch build tri-wing Fokker.
#1 Previous show with DX8, it was a loaner, where did this one come from? #2 Looks like DSM 2 compatible inexpensive RX in there? That wont help you're chances with HH supplying you with products for review so I guess you're only HK sponsored now...
Quick general RC question, is it possible to connect a RTF with any third party transmitter like Turnigy 9x or frsky taranis? Who would that work? Thank You!!
yo guys, me again, thanks got the battery forward and cg is now more foreward aswell. but when i throw it i just crash it SOOOO fast just drops down, made like 20 crashes, I do not reccommend it for beginners like me. didn't really know much about rc planes so yeah. found out more now.
I hope to buy one today but i am 12 bucks short and so i am selling two servos for the price of one.( yes i am kind of advertising lol) I have everything that i would need to fly it.
5x5 prop is too big for that upgraded motor, I got this plane and put the same motor in it, with 5x5 prop and after 5 minutes the motor came down too hot to touch. It needs 5x4 or 5x3
Hello Josh and Joshua and camera crew. I have a got a problem with this airplane. I just bought the airplane and put a 800mAh battery in there with modified wooden motor mount because the other one broke. But when i tried it to fly it went nose up, and then do weird manoevres for like 5 seconds and then speeds down like an arrow. The foam of the nose broke and I managed to fix it with Hot water and glue that came with it and strong tape. Please help me I can''t get it in the air properly. Thanks
Scott is so funny, and his deadpan expression just cracks me up every time. Bixler is just perfect as a host, and Scott co-hosts as well as anyone.
@boywaimea The EPO Parkjet has been released with two different motors. We didn'tknow that at the time of the review.
@freemarlochip #1 yes, the DX8 was a loaner when we did the review. Shortly after Josh spent his own money to buy one. Then after that, Horizon was so kind to send us one to use on the show.

Greetings from Germany (i hope the snow melts in the next days)...
Love your show, keep it up guys! Greetings from a cold and snowy Sweden!

Great show i am loving it keep doing what you doing
@century750 It's a Ritewing IYF 44. We also have a Zephr
That Park Jet looks fun... I love the energy in this video... cold weather huh?
this channel deserves more views and subscribers
@monboy10 Me too. It's coming.

This video gave me an idea: try making an aircraft powerful enough to carry a bowling ball.
Is it suitable for beginner.. bro?
Holy cow, that thing goes through the clouds!
Have you guys ever considered doing event reports?
Might be a cool thing to try since you already have the fancy camera gear.
Great vid. Are you guys attaching supplied motor mount - directly to foam? Also will a 1000mAh 3C burn the stock 20A ESC?
these are the best reviews
check your thrust angle aswell when i done the stick mount mod mine done the same i had to bend the motor to give it some down thrust
Hi Josh and Josh,
I like your videos and this plane looks like one I would like to add to my collection. Could you guys (in the future) add the links in you reviews that will take us right to the ordering page on the Hobby King site? Thanks again!
That thing was badass!
i clicked on one vi and ended up watching this all day...
2:31 lol he gave big Josh that look. epic
I have the very similar Phase 3 Fantom with Ducted Fan, love it, it's one of my most flown jet :-)
Really cool shapka ushanka!
@PatBALEX We're in Navarre... Just south of Massillon.
I love that intro
Is it worth doing the upgraded motor? Im all about uniqueness and that looks to be what I want. Different from everyone elses at the field. :) Or does adding the extra weight make it less enjoyable.
Thanks Guys! :D
Nica plane, 2 greate and diferent configurations !!!
Saludos desde México.
you guys are awesome keep reviewing the planes and helis can you review the flyzone sky fly max
Hey FliteTest could you do a review of the Parkjet 2 it comes with a 4500kv motor and I just ordered it yesterday.... and would like to see how you guys handle it.
2:30. The tickle me elmo of airplanes...........good one josh
Better you than me friend. It was about +17C where I live when you wrote that.
please answer my question .
: Can you put a three cell on it ithout burning the ESC?
I bought a 3 cell for this plane but im afraid the ESC will burn because i saw some short videos where they said you shouldn't. Thanks. Love your show.
Im impressed that Josh knew what Kelvins are. (got the grammar wrong but at least he knew the word) LOL.
Im looking at doing the same thing by putting that upgraded motor when mine gets here.. im excited. Did you just put the 1300mah battery up the front? Im hoping I didnt forget anything while its all being shipped at once. ^_^
Thanks fellas!

It was a reference to West Coast Choppers... not the outlaw.
@Bally46 Search Carbon Fiber Strips in the HobbyKing search tab.
I think another review is in order for this plane since it now comes with a 4500kv motor.
It's a shame you can't get these anymore. They were good little kits.
OH! Another idea!!! MAKE A BOWLING BALL FLY CHALLENGE!! LOL
What would be a good low kV motor for swinging a 12 inch prop? I build a large wing, about as Big äs the Kraken, but i wanna use One motor and prop at the back.
yes i would suggest putting on a prop that is similar to the stock prop
I am thinking of putting a landing gear on it since I am a beginner and I''m starting to worry and think: I should have bought the beinner plane, the bixler glider. Can you guys help me finding the right landing gear on it? Thanks anyways, LOVE YOUR SHOW IT''S AWESOME!
I want one now
LOVE Hobby King
What part of North-East Ohio were you guys at...I'm in Cleveland and since Monday we've had snow....
Dear Josh and Josh,
Could you please make a video review of the hobbyking mx2?
Greetz out Holland!
Guess I am going to put the battery more in the front then :), bought 2s battery 1300 mAh beacause i''m REALLY beginner. thank you for helping :D
That hat is boss. I want one.
hi guys! looked pretty cold out there! little josh,s nose was even red,er than normal ;-] Keep up the good work! ps; please let little j fly something!!!!!
Hey, can you make a tickle-me-Elmo plane? Or rocket?
Why do you wish for evil in the air
Hi Josh, Could you tell me how the battery is held down in the canopy? I assume velcro tape is used, but will it hold under aerobatic maneuvers?
im not sharing my hat with you! lol! u guys r great.
Thanks guy for such awesome interesting review. I'm newbie to this hobby and seeking your help. I would like to buy such plane not only because of its handy size but also because of its great solid shape and easy control.

Bixler! Nice hat!
Is this a plane that would carry a modest FPV setup if it had a little bit more motor than stock?
can you take the stickers off the plane without damaging the foam?
What prop was on the stock setup? you mentinoed the stock was underperforming according to web page but did not say what you used? unless i missed it.
Sorry if you already answered this in previous comments, but what receiver did you guys use?
Just watched the dogfight episode (again) and I came up with a challenge:

i like the guy not flying the plane he IS SO FUNNAY !!!!
I have got a epo park jet and it is very good but now the motor is making a cliping sond and the gold whier is blake do I have to change the motor.
I love that freaking hat. way to hot here in Fl. but its awesome.
What kind of pilot do you think can fly this plane? Intermediate maybe?
Is that the same jet they turned into the "Rocket Plane" ?
Yeah, it is the same plane they used in "Rocket Plane"
Yea
Quick general RC question, is it possible to connect a RTF with any third party transmitter like Turnigy 9x or frsky taranis? Who would that work? Thank You!!
Yes you can all you need is a transmitter and a compatible receiver
+Nikola Milutinovic It depends which airplane, and if it uses a receiver or not
Hello to both of you! Do you know where I can get the airframe only for this model? I may need to replace it.
now im seeing hobby king which one is better. Ronald miller, im also new in the foam world.
yo guys, me again, thanks got the battery forward and cg is now more foreward aswell. but when i throw it i just crash it SOOOO fast just drops down, made like 20 crashes, I do not reccommend it for beginners like me. didn't really know much about rc planes so yeah. found out more now.
Im from Cleveland...i feel your pain.
Would y'all say it would be ok, putting a camera in this plane an ir will still proform fine?
do a review of the hobby zone super cub
I got an rc helicopter for christmas, but rc has been hard for me because they just started me off with 3d rc,but im doing well now.
question: how guys mount the 2700 motor on to it. M3 screws? how long are they?
is that a ritewing zephyr in the background?
@flitetest i gues you forgot to say what prop. you were using. thanks
@mreisen Navarre, OH
I hope to buy one today but i am 12 bucks short and so i am selling two servos for the price of one.( yes i am kind of advertising lol) I have everything that i would need to fly it.
hey...i wont to get in to rc planes would this be a good one to start with....
very nice
did you ever get that plane on radar?
Missing screw(s) on the motor mount at 8:10 ?
5x5 prop is too big for that upgraded motor, I got this plane and put the same motor in it, with 5x5 prop and after 5 minutes the motor came down too hot to touch. It needs 5x4 or 5x3
@crbonensor It's coming.
That sounds very tail heavy.
Hello Josh and Joshua and camera crew. I have a got a problem with this airplane. I just bought the airplane and put a 800mAh battery in there with modified wooden motor mount because the other one broke. But when i tried it to fly it went nose up, and then do weird manoevres for like 5 seconds and then speeds down like an arrow. The foam of the nose broke and I managed to fix it with Hot water and glue that came with it and strong tape. Please help me I can''t get it in the air properly. Thanks
So when are you going to break the sound barrier?
never
What a baby he was cold. He would think he was in the Artic. There is no snow on the ground.
why most of the planes need a controller or engine or something??? pls tell me
it would be nice if you give us a list with parts/links(HK) for this order! thanks :)
I really want a parkjet but they are discontinued
Flite test could u guys have links to sites to buy the stuff you show us it wold be alot easyer
you can pretty much get anything they use from hobby king or their website
@flitetest i found it on google earth :) the aerial fpv's are great for that. 40°41'4.64"N 81°33'40.80"W
@stryker595 He's interested, but he's learning how to fly and getting better everyday, and he makes the show more entertaining as well
