Good airplane for newbies or old timers that want relaxing flying.

May 18, 2025

This is a great airplane because of its cost and motor set up meaning you can fly and land it on its belly without breaking props. There are a few things about it that need attention. First, the recommended batteries will not be heavy enough to properly balance the plane. I drilled a hole in the nose and glued a fairly heavy pan headed bolt in that hole to balance it. The plane then balanced right at the spot undeath the wing that the servo wires run. The other problem is there is no ventilation for the esc, which gets very hot in the insulated, enclosed space it is in. After a couple of flights I took the radical step of giving the plane an open cockpit by cutting away the clear plastic windshield down to the dark edging, and then cutting a square hole in the floor of the cockpit about 5x5 cm, opening up the interior of the airplane for airflow. This solved the problem very well. I colored the white edges of this hole with a black magic marker for appearance. The plane seems to fly fine with this open cockpit and the esc and everything else inside stays much cooler.

Amazing Glider and Love It!

Amazing model. Stick a 2650, 3 cell in it and C 0f G is perfect. At half throttle you will easily get 15-20 mins flying. I done 13 minutes with 64% battery left. Great glider.

Easy to build, easy to fly. Only downside is that it does not like wind

Great Flyer; Great Price

Apr 11, 2024

This is one of those planes that helps you look good as a pilot, because it is such a sweetheart of a flyer. The aircraft has no bad habits, so it can be a nifty trainer. But you can also push it and do honest-to-goodness snap rolls, hammerheads, split-S's -- all the standard aerobatic maneuvers. This Bixler will fly inverted as long as you want to do it. Takeoff consists of nothing more than a simple hand toss. Because my club has a nice runway, I've added a simple landing gear setup consisting of a 3/8-inch spuce bar glued in a grove cut in just forward of the battery compartment and a pair of 2-inch lightweight wheels. Minus that landing gear, it's an excellent winter flyer that effortlessly slides off packed snow or ice. All that, and the very low price of the plane, makes this Bixler a true value. My HobbyKing Bixler flew its 139th flight this morning. If and when I manage to wreck it through pilot error, there is no doubt I will order a new one that same day,

Love it

I really like this plane. The one thing that I had to do to get the CG right was to use a 3000mah 3S as far forward as possible. I will buy a Bixler 3 next, just for the landing gear option

Good basic glider

Apr 16, 2022

The Bixler is a great little glider and a good value for the price. Just don't expect too much from it. Motor is a bit underpowered and it will do some loops and rolls but be careful. ESC tends to get very hot with a 10 minute flight on a 3S 2200 mAh battery even going fairly easy on the throttle. I had one ESC burn up and damage the plant. I think HobbyKing needs to upgrade the ESC.
