Thanks goes to TomTop.com for developing the following instructions and here are some video instructions in Chinese from FTC
and here is its flight demonstration
Pros
- Gyro stabilized flight with three varied levels of stabilization.
- 1306 3100KV motor with 20A ESC.
- Very tough flying wing. I nosed it hard several times without any damage before I got it into the air.
- Fast flying wing with some throttle, or pull back on the throttle for slow cruising.
- Built-in 800TVL 16 channel 100mw FPV camera system.
Cons
- Currently only available for SBUS receivers.
- Although stabilized, this plane is more for intermediate and above fliers. Beginner fliers might become discouraged trying to get this one into the air.
- Some control input is needed at launching until the plane gets up to speed. You may need a second person to hand launch while you give this some upward pitch. Additionally, there is no documentation of CG location. Based on my nose dives, I strongly suspect that the CG needs to be much farther back than what the stock battery install location provides ;-)
- No documentation/instructions are included in the box. Thanks goes to TomTop.com for developing the following instructions
