The Kelly looks quite nice for its size. The build quality seems excellent. I could not pull up any kelly mini reviews....too new a product maybe.. . except the link from Hlobby's site.

Any owners of this bird please post any info.

Don't own one myself but I watched a friend try his maiden flight. The Kelly didn't do well with wind 10-12 MPH. Probably OK with light breeze.

The construction appeared OK and it was nice looking.

No, it's not new.

I tough myself flying with her. She was good little plane. Just a little too weak with standard motor (S-280). You really need to let her climb with the wing.

You can find a review and discussion below.

PS: I lost her in an accident with the light pole due to her underpower climb in strong wind.
