I made a small mistake in the video at 8:38 I used the 5" prop for flying at high speed. The 6" prop was for endurance flying. Also used the 6" prop for the VTOL

Wow it stays really well locked in at 400ft ! Amazing the accuracy we achieve now with technology

Really great of you to document and share this, excellent idea, great approach. Thank you for helping fellow RC pilots!!

This is my first rc fpv plane.. I didn't know it was built for speed because I bought it from Amazon, and it was advertised as "fpv wing flying wing rc plane wing rc flying wing fun beginners." Gotta love the Chinese. I put a MATEK fc, gps, long range vtx in it, and I'm setting it up to fly itself the best I can, and I've crashed it twice. Trial by fire damnit, I'm not giving up lol.

Woah, cool build dude! Really dig the video quality and editing as well, a lot of people don't appreciate how much effort and skills it takes ;)

I hope they didn't charge much for that wing. You basically built that up from scratch. I have a ton of respect for your building capability and knowledge but sometimes these hobby shops get away with highway robbery.

I like a lot how you made this video. Super useful. It doesn’t seem the slipperiest design given the blunt front end the thickness overall and all the things on the surfaces disrupting airflow.

ur parts managment are superb dude, awsome build

Thats a tidy build and the internal bay looked great with your custom 3d prints in, might grab one myself as i have a spare microvector that would drop in nicely. Great vid.

When you use uhu-por just apply thin layer to both sides and wait 5 minutes (spread the glue). After that join parts together and done - glued instantly.

Amazing video which also happens to showcase the ridiculous barrier to entry in this fpv hobby still. So much 3d printing and soldering. Imagine being an RC beginner watching this wondering how you are going to get by.

I would imagine the lost 20 kph from claimed top speed is due to the FPV antenna and the other holes cut out for the 3d printed mounts causing drag. But man that thing is an awesome build.

Bro thanks a bunch. I've seen countless videos that wasted my time. I just wished I would of seen yours first!!!! Thanks again.

Use nail clippers to take the hangers off of your fingers. Changed my life. No pain and nothing to catch on anymore.

Nice little screenshot of Bruce/RCModelreviews. A true pioneer for our hobby.

how lovely the grass was

Thank You for the detail and the 3D print files link!

Yo! So cool! It feels perfect when you just slot the part in to the 3d printed part so gracefully. Great work!

Love how the GPS drops nicely into the FC mount at 4:55. 😉 Assume you did one massive raid on the spares box, then came up with a strategy. Always learn a few tidbits from watching your well edited content. The use of 3d-printed camera mount (5:18) that glues in vs. gluing in the camera is really thinking outside the spares box. Makes for easy recovery, or swap-out in future. ♥😎 Regarding the speed and weight (12:31), generally heavier planes will achieve better performance at higher speeds. I'd suggest checking propeller speed (RPM vs. pitch). Beside propeller, you might check speed claim to see what battery was used. A higher voltage would provide more power (provided ESC and electronics support). A coat of turtle wax (🐢) could make it a be more slick (just kidding). BTW: one thing I noticed is the 3d-prints for VTx and Rx appears to have a lip, which could act like a spoiler; particularly as close to leading edge of wing. If had be placed further back, they'd be behind laminar separation point and have less effect (but would be in area where foam not as thinks. Tradeoffs) One extra you could try is printing servo covers that add an aero shroud to cover elevon pushrods and horn). Know would not be stock, but it might enable getting the most Hee out of that Wing. Alternatively trying high speed passes inverted might have an alternate limiting speed. (never know, that fine print in claims, etc).

I was waiting for someone to review this wing. Thank heavens 🙌🏾🙌🏾😭😭

So much more speed to gain here with small tweaks. Very nice product

I don't think I will ever take the time to build and put together things like you have shown in your video. Haven't done building RC models probably for, let me just say, a LONG TIME :) Just more enjoy operating then putting together or building. BUT I MUST SAY, Really enjoyed your video and it is very informative..... Very informative. :)

Glad to see your still building analogue instead of going dji like most others, cant afford to buy a new set up of goggles then air units for my builds! Also that music you use on your vids is great,lol! Hopefully heewing might send you a ranger now you did them proud with alternative build for this kit,makes sense for them buisness wise to have us all catered for in these builds and yours is only one i saw going analog so far.

Lets hear it for the spares box!! 😄

Another freaking awesome video, love watching them all!

That was bad ass bro!! Been flying freestyle quads for 4 years now. Not much experience with analog but I was very impressed with the lack of breakup and nice video quality man! Just shows that if you choose the correct parts analog can be sweet! The wing was a really clean build btw dam!!

Been in this hobby longer than I would like to admit but finally picked up a pair of crimpers and WOW they are awesome, I hated soldering to these boards!

Beautiful build. Thanks for sharing and all the editing.

Wow you flew 400ft consistently the whole flight even when you landed. That's impressive :D

Great build video - thanks for sharing !

I'm from Brazil and i like yours projets, good Job !

Your official now. Getting free gear to test😏😏😎

1970s roller blade disco music approves of this video.

Cool build 👍 that sucker MOVES for a foamy. I need one!

Thanks for sharing the .stl files, extremely useful

I think to get that last bit of speed you're going to have to really clean it up. Get rid of all of the external antennas and whatever those slotted panels are that you dug into the wing roots. Where they are, and with those slots and holes, I'm sure they are producing lots of drag, and lots of turbulated airflow. And that turbulence is being stirred up in front of the prop. Feeding a high speed prop lumpy air doesn't do it any favors. Of course, the prop already lives in the turbulence of that boxy center section, so there's that. Even the servo installation could stand to be cleaned up. Those stick-on servo covers seem aerodynamically suspect. Then the servo arm, linkage, and control horn are all hanging out, churning up the air. A simple set of fairings would do a lot to smooth out that churn. Even better would be to get them off of the top of the wing altogether. Remember, air is accelerated as it passes over the top of an airfoil. So you've got all that servo cover and linkage stuff sticking out in the same place that the air is speeding up. And because drag is roughly proportional to the square of speed. Basically, as far as trying to minimize drag, that servo installation couldn't be any worse. I would bet that in order to truthfully make that speed claim, the company would have specifically prepared the model to make it as aerodynamically clean as possible. They probably also removed all the FPV bits and pieces, and anything that doesn't directly contribute to speed. All things being equal, a lighter plane is a faster plane. The practice is pretty common place. Full scale aircraft companies have been doing it for as long as there have been aircraft companies. (Edit for spelling)

Giz FPV: HI! what to say man... I just forgot "using fast forward" watching your video. I think when your passion vs detailed dedication for the craft clearly show in this video, i think everyone will be stunned to see the easiest way of knowing about circuits, RC plane & remote. I just awestruck second by second with the circuit 💫 pictures and connections detailing. Well done brother 👍. I am a pharmacist, i don't know about anything regarding your stuff but i never fast forwarded your videos while watching. Watched till end. With lots of love from ANDHRA PRADESH INDIA 🇮🇳. ✈ ✋

That music is just chilling

First time finding your channel, was very impressive. Have a cookie. 🍪

Impressive wing. IT seems to fly like it's on rails.

perfect build and flight💯👍👍

This video so much fun do more keep up the good work

Loved the build and the bonus footage. 💯💚💚💚🔥 With a proximity sensor, you could use it to mow lawns! 🤦‍♂️😂🤣😂

Hey man, nice editing. Really enjoyed the vid, thanks

Penso che questo sia migliore della Air-Wing 900 che ho scelto . Meglio di materiali e strutturalmente 💪

Really cool, thank's for sharing 👍

That flight computer is sick :D

That square nose looks like it would knock a lot of top speed off

i love the 400 ft altitude XD

cleanest build of heewing. Lol mine is a messy build but i was able to do 213kmph on this. still do not want to do FPV until i get a tiny ELRS system and a good FPV System

Dang, that's fast!😊

Surprised it even went that fast with such a square front nose, surely that would have caused a decent amount of drag?

Wow, I love how it manages to maintain 400ft constantly 😆

Love the altitude display ha ha

i absolutely love all your videos thank you sir!!

Its insane how those foamy planes evolved in a few years

Subbed immediately.. Awesome content!!!!!!

So... No one's going to talk about that desktop background 9:07 😂😂😂

Wow cool flight my new friend☺👌 excellent build😃👊👍

Much better luck than I had. I bought the Ripper R690 which is about the same. Didn't fly as good but was still crazy fast and had lots of grins 😁

i wonder if re-organizing the outerior could improve speed a little more (antenna, the 3d print tray under the wing... could add up drags). Just a though 😅 Very cool video overall

cool to see the build process, wouldn't be better to use slimmer cables on the xt60? the motor takes all that energy and has much thinner cables, seems you could use thinner cables on the battery too.

I love how it just says 400ft to please the faa

wow! there was a lot of setup on that transmitter. Could you show what you need to do on your setup when having a new plane like this? I have no idea what you did

Excellent vid man... I missed this one (and my guest appearance!):-D :-D

Nice and clean build I like it. I purchased one and now I'm thinking about the GPS location. I will use an M100 "modern" GPS, so is it easy to fix satellites with the GPS inside the fuselage or should I put in a wing like many other builds? Thank you.

Hey Tommy, big hugs from Berlin

Your altitude and what looks to be high humidity could impact it's performance as well.

NOTHING TO SAID JOB WELL DONE>>>>>>

I learned something. I didn’t think that loose pitch horns/control links would cause that much movement (makes perfect sense). I bet most of my planes have that to varying degrees.

Really great

No hate, but instead of putting in extra weight you can put the battery and the counter weight on a scale, tare it and find a battery very close to that. It looks like you probably could have gotten at least a 1800mah 4s. Weighting planes for balance has always bothered me since it does nothing to attribute to performance. Getting more amps and longer flight time is never a bad thing.

i like the music!

Great build video, nice tidy plane. Like the pad take off at the end 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing this, loved it.

Now strap rockets to it and use the prop to recharge batteries!

Impressive!

Great vid - lots of effort in the edit, and it shows 👍

We could probably squeeze another 20kph out of it if the antennas were kept internal, or if an aerodynamic nose cone was put in front of the blunt camera position. 200kph is nothing to scoff at with something that draggy :) Very nice build!

I wish my spares box was that stacked with goodies!

I love your build videos, Thank You 👍

I bet a clear, aerodynamic, nosecone on that would improve speed

Excellent build man!

I have an FPV proposal. There is nothing more cool than landing FPV. It heightens the experience because things are happening, and the ground is coming up, and it is total immersive experience. Here is the proposal: FPV landing with PAPI lights that shoots the landing decent approach. PAPI lights would give you the proper glide descent angle. I have not yet seen any youtubers make a PAPI light FPV landing approach video. I just think that would be so neat. ===== I personally have not flown rc in 20 years, but I am looking at the turbo timber with its flaps and slats and I want to do FPV touch and go.By the way, PAPI lights are not hard to make. It doesn’t even have to be a ‘light’ It can just be visible white and red paint that is half covered (ie the red is covered up at a certain visual angle and the white at another angle). PAPI lights. ===== So, what do you think? Would you ever consider a PAPI light landing FPV video? Thx.

Very Smooth Landing 🤣

Nice build ;)

i quess that the vx antenna reduced the top speed, it is like big parachute.

Cool solution! 😎👍

@Giz FPV Thanks for the tutorial. What would you recommend for a flying wing for novices?

Nice build and attention to detail. All that and you kept it at 400 ft the entire time. Love it!

Great build. Even better salesman. We've been flying qwads too long. I want a plane.

Great job as always brother.

Still pretty good I reckon. Reminds me of zohd orbit

Wow, so amazing

I know near nothing about RC but the vid is so clear on what you're doing (even the floating labels for the contacts!) Dang. Plus, you can fly them that fast???? What the most fun thing to do with those ultra fast ones?

Very nice build video. Did you also try the 5x5 prop? It might get a little faster with that one. I am building mine at the moment, so thanks for the information and perfect timing :)

Clean build. Nice vtol at the end. I'm sure they will add that to the listing :)

400ft😂😂😂 looks like a blast to fly!

Nice doppler effect.

betafpv doesn't sell rx with normal long antenna. You have to order it separately. But with small antenna you have enough coverage to fly with dji
