The HK Parkjet - for those who love speed

Parkjet on "Steroids"

Bought on Hobbyking a few months ago and now still flying...
I bought the Kit without motor, only the frame for mount on it about 400 Watts for get some high speeds. The result was great as expected... more than 100 mph for under than 100 dollars or 80 euros.

Here are some photos of the process:

 Wings glued in place...
 2x HXT900 for elevons...
 Motor in place using the wood stick and some decals...
 This spinner looks really nice...
 And final results...


And the flight video with hatcam:
