Default RE: Hobbyking BD5 for Jetcat P20

Most of them sold out because the manufacturer actually went out of business.  Some may come back when HK finds some other place to copy them.
Some fly OK.  Some fly very poorly.  Often they have bad airfoils and wing design and very bad slow speed handling.
But either way few if any are actually flown at all before being released to the public.
Few complete many flights at all.
It's like Fly Eagle Jets, but smaller.
It's also hard to get a good reading because HobbyKing pays people to shill their models, and they have many reps who just tell how everything is just awesome. 
Have you ever seen a video of the HK Staff flying any of these 90mm jets?  Never.
THey just released a new one.  Nobody has flown that model.  Ever.  But it's for sale.
