When I maidened my Dart 250g I was a bit surprised that the battery was at 11.6 volts when I stopped flying, and charged it up. On the second flight, I could not believe how long it flew. When on a 3s 1100MAH LiPo battery, I managed a solid 35 minutes of fast flying action.

Only bought this in Oct and today was the maiden...Chucked using autolaunch and was impressed with the way it glided gently to the grass...something not right...Second launch a lot more successful...helps if you flick the activate throttle switch on ...unexpectedly it did what it was suppose to do..climbed circled ....gain needs tweaking but landed with that stupid grin when you see autolaunch in action....thanks for your input and answering my stupid questions.

Nice review and test flight! I agree this plane needs a bit more power. It seems that's a fairly small motor and prop for the size of the plane but a larger one may have put them over the 250g goal. See you in the Air!

Thank you once again for sharing your test piloting experience. It sure is a big help for me deciding what I put into my builds. After watching this, I'm glad I picked up the kit version so I can give it some more power. I ordered a 1507 2500kv 2-6s motor I was planning on using. Do you think a 1806 2400kv would be too much? Also, do you think a 20amp esc would be able to handle whichever choose?

Hi Andrew, I have a small area behind my house in the UK surrounded by cliff and tall trees so no room for mistakes. I'm after a small and slow model so my question is if you think this Dart will fly quite slow and tight? Many thanks in advance. Also looking forward to seeing how good the copilot is.

Not this plane, too fast
@cinobro6393 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Andrew, just a couple of quick questions: - I've heard some negative stuff about its stall characteristics and was wondering how it glides / cruises. - It looks pretty nippy and I was wondering if it would be pushing the boundaries of a standard 4-6 football pitch reserve as if it needs a much bigger area I might as well just head further out with a full size model. After that crash though you've proved my doubts about durability, would love to see if it can slope too, maybe not with those swept forward wings. Thanks.
@AndrewNewton 4 жыл бұрын
It is quite fast, not for tight areas. Doesn't drop a wing in a stall as far as I can see, just parachutes down

The old dart kit offers better value and looks to be far stronger. I've put my little dart through hell and only had to glue it back together once in what was a 100kph+ crash. Flies awesome with a cheap omnibus f4 FC running inav and gets ridiculous flight times with a 4s1p 18650 pack.
