I reinforced the tail surfaces pushing two shortened BBQ sticks through each fin and into the stab, which was easy and surprisingly effective. The tail feels sturdy now.

Thx Lee! I love your flying field. So wide open and gorgeous.

hey Pilots I also have the Killer Whale. I wanted to have a steerable frontwheel so i can drive the plane back on the ground and don't have to walk there to collect it. I did not find anything online. that is why i made a 3D printable landingear myself.

you'll find it at the usual 3D print websites.

With the price drop, decided to get it! Using a Matek 765 on Ardupilot wo/the distribution board. Easier to make a 'Y' for the motors. Only problem I have so far - the front hatch has a latch and the the rear one lifts so I've already had to reglue the latch pin thing as I keep trying to pull it open...:)

Hi Lee, this looks like it flies a lot like my Multiplex Twinstar. Lots of power but a bit floaty. The Twinstar can fly easily on a standard 2200 3s. Nice review.

The supplied motors appear more than adequate but if you were going to start from a kit rather than 'rtf' what motors currently available would you choose to power the Killer Whale? The kitted specs don't appear to be a common size.

missing some key details - how stupid are they that they can not get things sorted out and deliver the basics needed by everyone. They watch these videos, they even link to them and then some models get better till the next model comes out and everything is forgotten cause if they deliver a manual then things are missing. The AR Wing Pro was beyond the Volantex stuff the first plane that was working out and where you could see or feel the progress achieved - thanks to Lees effort. I have gotten 2 or 3 just to have one for the kids if things go wrong but the good planes survive and the boxes get dust. REALLY NICE DRONE FOOTAGE TOO which gives a far better impression than usually. I might get one - even if it will be chrismas but I will add it to my list. thanks a lot !

Awesome review Lee. I wanted to get this model but looking at the nose area it appears it will not crash well. I ended up going with it's smaller brother the Dolphin.

So Great video, Lee ! Also I would like to recommend you a relevant product called SIYI HM30 Full HD Image Transmission System, which can get 40 km or up and the latency is very low.

Banggood still haven't fixed the shipping issue, listing says ... "CAN NOT ship to United Kingdom". We're getting this more and more recently with Banggood although AliExpress are worse.

Great Video as always. Yes, manuals are always lacking with models from Banggood. It looks a bit pricey to me to be honest. Last couple of shipments from Banggood to the US was lost for me 😩. Glad i had insured shipping. Any plans on doing a long range V tail model with Ardu pilot, gps and all the other goodies for a ground station setup??

All of the topics for that build are covered in the Pixhawk 2020 series. No plans for another Arduplane just yet...

Thanks Lee great review and insight as usual. Im hoping you will do a review of the Talon 250g. I ordered the complete ZOHD FPV package as my first FPV. Cheers.

I've been flying the plane with the kopilot . I want to use the Matek f405 wing ..How do I connect the fc battery to the power board of the killer whale ? Thru esc 1 ? I can do the rest , just not sure how to get the power to the power board .
@Painless360 Жыл бұрын
Connect the existing battery cables in the model to the power output of the flight controller. The outputs are connected as shown in my INAV builds.. best of luck
@justinfrancis26443 жыл бұрын
What are the flight times for your battery? And to what distance away could fly to?
@Painless3603 жыл бұрын
Depends on the battery. You can figure that out from the times I got in the video.. Best of luck
