Yuneec is said to have started making RC model Planes in 1995 and the first electric RTF plane. I find it hard to believe they were not directly involved with Horizon as they have made many breakthroughs themselves. When I started RC about 9 years ago I had been away from this hobby for decades, my only RC experience was with cars and trucks in the 1980's whereas RC planes were very expensive. So when I got back into this 9 years ago I was pleasantly surprised to see what was available especially all the electric powered planes. Naturally as an Electrician I was instantly hooked. I was a Horizon Hobby Fanatic.

Horizon has been pretty good with their RTF and BnF electric aircraft. Bear in mind Great Planes had a bit of a jump on them but the early Electra-fly models weren’t all that good, frequently being grossly underpowered.
I tried the RC car thing for awhile but having been flying for long before that the lack of the third dimension left cars a little flat for me. So I ended the cars and got busy with 3D aircraft and went giant scale about the time 25%+ ARF kits started hitting the market. 3D electrics started hitting center stage at the Tucson Aerobatic Shootout about 10-12 years ago but the cost and weight was prohibitive so I stayed with gas twins. The transition to multirotors a few years ago was a pleasant change but flight controllers weren’t as good as they are now so risk was a lot higher. You have to admit, it’s pretty hard to crash now unless you run into something or drain a battery flat. For the record, I still have a couple of JR 72MHz radios, a 9303 and 8102. JR smoked the precision servo market when they released their first coreless servos and only got better with their digitals. Feel the Difference indeed!
BTW, I really would like to see you do well. If you have questions where I can be of help, please ask.

They have always had the two RC antennas near the landing gear. Only difference is they added a couple plastic tubes over them with the H Pro. The same wire antennas are inside the tubes. I mentioned that earlier. There have been zero actual changes to the H RC antennas, just some tubular cosmetics.

And the antennas are the same as they always were. Point is, the tubes do nothing
They are oriented differently, obviously for the better.
