Nice Wing for beginner and for some fun

Jul 30, 2017

I bought this for my first flying wing. Have flown several conventional layouts.
Instructions were OK, assembly easy. Although, the cavities for carbon rods should be cleaned from residual foam (thus 4 stars for quality).
I used 2206 2350KV motor from quad with 5045 bullnose prop and 20A ESC with 3S 1000mAh batteries. (also tried 1750mAh 3S). 9g servos and 600mW FPV transmitter with cloverleaf antenna and 15x15mm camera. Total weight 340g (430g with 1750 mAh). The canopy for battery and reciever is quite small and it takes effort to get CG correct. I had to mount FPV gear externally. The hatch lacks locking mechanism so I added a velcro strip.
Expo. should be used on transmitter otherwise it will wiggle quite violently. I used 65%, gives OK response near neutral and good maneuverability at the max travel.
It flies nice at lower speeds but is very vulnerable for turbulences and it flutters at higher speeds. Also quite lot of stick is needed to keep it level at roll axis. It does not have inheritably stable design because of minimal dihedral. As it tilts on one side a little, it will start rolling more. So i cut the wingtips at 45deg angle to tilt the winglets outward. This compensated the lack of dihedral to tolerable level. Now it is more plesant to fly with, so I do not have to spend so much awareness for keeping it leveled all the time. Thus 4 stars overall. It Glides OK though.
It flies nice and easy at 25% throttle and goes vertical with 100%.
With 1000mAh battery i got 20min of quarter throttle FPV flight with couple of vertical bursts.
And what I like most about this plane is that it is nearly indestructable. I have had several nosedive crashes and hard landings and it is still nearly unscrached. I would reccomend to tape the leading edges so they to not chip when landed on the gravel. Otherwise BOMBPROOF, I would say. Many fuselages would have been destroyed after such abuse. So this is a good for your first flying wing experience, I totally recomend this as entry-level wing or simlpe aircraft for some fun. It has lot of bang for that price (5 stars for that).

Good

Dec 15, 2016

Hello,
Just to add; I got from EU warehouse,
Good flyer, glider + motor (25g 3S 15A esc)
I put 3S 1000mah to 3S 1300mah. Super
9g servos, better on top to avoid crashing when bottom landing . 6" prop
Flies OK, slow and fast, very reacting; so adjust servos to low response= better control
Also can upsize the battery room, adding foam spacer, then the cover .
Very Satisfactory, Nice to land motor off; good control.

Only 4 stars from me due to the False Advertising with regard the carbon spars. Which once replaced and upgraded have given a sufficiently stiff structure.
I have mine set up with a cheap 2204 2300KV Quad motor running a 5x4.5 Bullnose prop and 1500mAh 2S battery. I added about 10g of lead to the nose and have the CG at 140mm rear of the nose which has it gliding perfectly. Flying weight ATM is 305g.
I like it, Maidened this morning, it was a bit windy for a light plane, but the wing handled it well and after a good few flights, including crash landings eventuating in a broken prop, the battery still had plenty of charge and the wing unscathed. When the wind drops this arvo, I'll be out with it again.

Getting the CG right on this wing is a tough job considering the space you get to place the flight parts. Also at high speeds, the whole wing will start to flap around, so definitely only for med-slow flight or slope soaring

I love this wing. Had mine 6 months and flown it everywhere in every condition. Handles wind with easy. Floats nice. Tough. Fits on my car parcel shelf nicely. I use a 2200 3cell battery, 30a ESC, and a little turnigy bell motor spinning a 7*4 prop. I can easily get 15 minute flights zipping around on it. Vertical climb. Nice rolls and loops. Deffo recommend for the most fun for the price.

It was not what I expected from the photos. It is just normal old styrofoam (very cause). But anyway it should still be a good little slope soarer.
