Great times

Jan 25, 2020

Mate it's a great bit of kit. Been a long time since I have flown a powered plane. So I got this as a good starting point.
It didn't fly to bad needs a bit of nose weight but it was in the air on the 3rd hand launch.
Flight wise it's a great little wing for the local footy field has good range of air speed from slow and learning to power to burn to really get into it.
Totally would recommend this wing to a supported beginner or a returning intermediate flyer.

Unable to balance center of gravity

Requires a lot of weight to balance CG

Nice flying wing

Good quality. Only one problem, difficult to adjust the center of gravity in the correct position.

Great little plane.

Jul 31, 2019

I have only been flying for a bit over a year and this was my first wing. It was pretty much ready to go straight out of the box - just glue on the wing tip thingies , make sure the C of G is ok ( The recommended battery is not heavy enough unless you also have a camera. I had to add lead to get the C of G right ). It was a little tricky to get a good launch technique but once in the air this little wing can be super docile or wild , it's up to you. If you do lose orientation and hit the deck as I did, the wing is damned near unbreakable. Super fun and value for money

Nice wing with a crap ESC

Jun 29, 2019

I bought this flying wing when it was on sale. I don't think it's a bad value at the regular price but it's really nice at $55!
During setup I had some issues. After checking specs and reading reviews I decided to go with a 3S 1000 battery for the needed nose weight since I won't be using FPV. I installed an Orange receiver and tried to calibrate the throttle as I normally always do. DON'T DO THIS! This is a non-standard ESC and requires a programming card to calibrate the throttle. All I managed to do is get it in programming mode and somehow reset the ESC to helicopter mode so the throttle was on slow start. VERY SLOW start. I had to order a programming card to reset it back as there is no other way. I consider this to be a rather large issue since most ESCs on the market allow calibrating throttle by plugging in power with throttle high, wait for 2 beeps and lower throttle. Also, if it's able to switch to a slow start setting without a programming card or intent to change it in the first place then it should be capable of fixing it again without having to buy more stuff.
After calibrating the throttle properly and resetting the startup mode back to fast, I tested it briefly on the bench. It throttled up and then immediately went into low voltage cutoff. The battery I was using wasn't fully charged so I topped it off and tried again. Same result. Double checked settings in the ESC to be sure I hadn't fouled something else up. It all looked good. According to the manual, it auto detects 2S and 3S batteries. Apparently it doesn't detect 3S batteries correctly... I had to totally disable the LVC setting to get the ESC to respond properly. I don't know if it works right with 2S batteries or not as I never tested that.
To sum up, overall I like the wing. It flies nice and is pretty durable. I chose to add some 6" carbon fiber rods in each side of the nose and to use extreme 2" packing tape (fibers in the tape go both directions. Along the tape and across) rather than the tape supplied. I had to deal with some play in the servo linkages as well but that was a small thing. If not for the crap ESC they supply and having to buy a programmer to fix things and work around the LVC issue, it would have gotten 5 stars from me.

Great little fun plane

Jun 26, 2019

Assembly was quick and simple. Important to check and ensure weight is added to ensure the COG is correct. Unfortunately it was on special $20 cheaper more recently

Trunk plane

Super small plane to have him always in the trunk to fly a round after work.

we orderd a few more for combat

May 27, 2019

we tested this little thing in our club ans orderd a few mor for combat action. :-)
The plane is designed for FPV (with a small camera in the nose)...so when flying without this camera you have to add some weight (20 to 30g) in the nose ---> OR USE a BIG LIPO

great addition to the collection id recomend a larger lipo if not using fpv
