I had to buy it, at this price.

Jan 05, 2021

Having more planes and wings than i have space for, i did not need any more now.
But being a new RC pilot, and knowing this plane to be a very easy and good flyer,
And at the right price, i had to buy it. Most of my plans are big, and i wanted a more userfriendly sized everyday training plane.
And it can be a nice platform for FPV to.
It came in a box that show no signs of damage, so i have not unwraped it.
It goes together with my other unopened plane and wing boxes.
This way i have a nice collection to use from when the spring brings warmer weather to Norway.

First RC Plane

Jun 28, 2020

This is a kit version, the fuselage is in to halves. Easy to assemble for a beginner as well.
It is a good quality plane, however there were some issues. The elevator and rudder push rods are a bit long, clevises have to be turned almost all the way up. In one of the wings the carbon tube was not fully inserted, about 3mm had to be sawed off to be able to assemble the wings. There is a pair of propellers included, but w/o fitting rings, fortunately I have ordered different propellers too.
The Bixler 1.1 v2 flies smooth and stable. Easy to hand launch with half throttle. Recommended for beginners and experienced hobbyists too.
The EPO fuselage is quite strong, survived a nose down "landing". However the leading edge of the wings are very vulnerable, I will reinforce them by taping/gluing on 0.8mm carbon fiber rods.

Great plane for a first model

This is review is for the ARF version.
First, this is a great plane for a beginner. Stable but responsive without being aggressive. Cut the throttle and it glides really well, put some throttle on and she will climb quite happily. Mine has a 1000kV motor which provides plenty of grunt with the supplied stock prop.
Second, and these are more observations on the ARF version for assembly rather than criticisms.
There are a couple of parts supplied for which it isn't clear straight away what they are for and took a little figuring out during assembly. These are the plywood inserts to strengthen the holes through which the wing attachment screws go through. Also once glued in the holes didn't line up which required some careful milling out of the hole. I would recommend that for all flights the wings are kept in place with tape as well as the screws.
Saying that this plane is tough. Flew into a lam post and apart from a very small dent in the wing no damage. Also landed wing tip down, there was cartwheel and again no damage. I would recommend fitting LEDs as when flying straight away especially it is easy to lose sight of it due to the colour and profile, especially if flying in the evening with a clear sky.
In all I recommend getting this plane.

Well designed, easy to build from kit. Easy modifications to make the fin and elevator removable for transportation.
