I'm not sure if this is new, but I don't recall seeing it on the HK web site before. Looks to be almost the same thing as a Hawk Sky, 1400mm wingspan, 4 channel, with outside servos gives an empty cockpit and room for stuff inside.

Has anyone tried this plane yet? The HK site seems to have decent reviews, but I never quite trust them.
They also seem to have added kit and ARF versions, which is fantastic for those of us who intend to scrap the included Rx/Tx on most of these types of planes. Cuts the cost by half!
Here's a video build log from the Bixler himself:
Interesting. It looks like the Sky Surfer (see my roundup here), with the servos more appropriately placed (outside). I only wish it came with the option for a Turnigy 9X. As it is, you'll have to replace the 4Ch radio for UAV use, since you need a toggle switch.
I've ordered one to do a proper review.
Nice find! looks awsome. I'd get one.
