Our clubs' preferred trainer

Jul 10, 2023

Several members of our club fly the Bixler. It's highly recommended (along with the Tundra) for new pilots. The build instructions are almost useless. The first line says "find another Bixler owner and ask them to help you build it" and that is pretty important I think. Only takes a few minutes to glue the tail (vertical and horizontal stabilizer) to the fuselage (I used Foam-Tac glue), slide the wings together (no glue, just snaps together), then find your fellow Bixler owner to assist with connecting the push-rods and mounting the receiver (which isn't included) and ESC (which is included), and attaching the prop. Also recommend having servo extension cables (not included), so you can mount the receiver in the bottom of the fuselage, under the wings. Without servo extension cables, you have to mount the receiver and ESC forward, like under the cockpit.
We set the transmitter to 70% travel and expo for all 3 controls.
Stable flights, great trainer as everyone noted already.
Ordered from US warehouse in OR, took 5 days to get to east coast.

Great large trainer plane

Nov 27, 2022

First large plane for me. Got the Flight Test Aura 5 computer for stability and safety for myself.
Cons: Motor noisy as heck but works. Hard to position batters forward enough for CG balance but doable. Don't like that the tail rudder and elevator are not detachable as with the wings off the plane is still cumbersome to transport.
Pros: Easy to flight with flight computer provider assist (Aura lite 5). Forgiving after crashing it a few times. Hot Glue and she was back in the area with some minor tinkering and trimming.
Not a super fast plane but fun enough and pretty to watch her fly thru the blue sky.

Delivery took longer than expected considering the cost of shipping to me. 2 months delivery is not acceptable from Australia.

While I am happy with the product, I am not happy with the length of time it took for me to receive my order.
Because mod this fact I will not be making any further purchases from HobbyKing.

Bon motoplaneur bien solide

Aug 24, 2022

Solide, passe bien les acrobaties de base. Comme ça n'est pas un vrai planeur, il un peu de mal à prendre les thermiques.
Par contre vole bien, très résistant aux chocs et facile à réparer. Je lui en fait voir de toutes les couleurs.
2 critiques :
- les flaps ne servent à rien
- les roues du train sont trop petites (on atterrit pas toujours sur le dur), je les ai remplacées par des plus grandes.
