Nice flight Gerard! Thanks for sharing. Just wanted to let you know, my biggest lunch problem with my dart 250 was the motor thrust angle. I had read about it being a lawn dart on a few forums and pushing the nose down on launch. It is launching perfect now after adjusting that.

I want the Radiomaster bad but i don't think i have enough knowledge yet so ill probably upgrade from my DX6e to the NX8+ for now and get the Radiomaster tx16 max 4 in 1 next yr. It'll be fun to fly at the same time as a couple of my kids so the transmiters won't be just sitting anyway. The FPV looks lije so much fun. 😊

Yep, I forgot to warn you about the massive throws in the non-angle stabilized modes - thought an old hand like you would see that on the bench! 😜😂 You might need a little aileron differential to get it turning equally left/right - easier than trying to adjust the motor angle on that tiny motor.

Those dinky 450Xs are brilliant little toys, mate! We just mounted our tiny S-bus receivers (we've used Futaba S-FHSS and Flysky AFHDS 2A ones but you can use the ELRS receivers - plugs into that cord sticking out the front of the flight board) into a pocket melted into the base of 1 of the fins and ran the aerial up the fin. Ours (a few years old now) came with red JST plugs but we mostly have been using 7.6v Lipos with BOTH JST and XT30 plugs anyhow so the newer ones there with the XT30 plug should be better. (If a tiny bit heavier!) Only minor problem with them is that the battery is the heaviest part of them so it tends to keep going in our usual "sudden stop landings" so velcro it down solidly to stop it yanking on the ESC wires. Never had a motor or ESC failure yet with them though. The 1105?/6? (can't remember off-hand) motors are PLENTY power for them and you should plan to find another use for most of the 10 T-mount props that come with it. (I've only managed to wear out 1!!! in the 4 years or so that I've had it!) 😉 SOLO GOOD are 1 of the more reliable Ali sellers but (like ALL online sites) you've got to make sure you know what you are clicking on to buy. You've obviously just bought the Le Fei Sparrow 3-Pro Stab - the GPS unit should be also listed on the same page. Same for the 450x - PNP doesn't have the S-bus receiver included though you used to be able to buy a fully RTF version and an FPV version. With your skills you shouldn't have any problems with the 450X but, for others, it is fast, tiny and blends in too much with a white sky - so add some colour! Luckily the howl of the pusher prop will tell you where it is before the old eyes can pick it up again! 😜 Oh and maybe just add another drop of CA before you start to the mounting points of the plastic servo/light covers - that's the only thing we've managed to knock off in all our crashes! 😊

Nice flight. Looking forward to your sparrow video. I got my dart 250 in the air finally and noticed it is challenging to hand launch. I'm flying 3s using the 5 inch 2 blade prop and noticed it needs a lot of up elevator and full throttle for any chance of launch success.. It flies nice once in the air but I would appreciate any launch advice you have. Thanks.

It was gusty so I had to kick the throttle a few times, on a quiet day, pretty sure I can get 20 minutes out of this Cub. It flies level with about 40% throttle, super gentle, predictable. Fun fun fun!!! I'll get a video of my next flight. I cut out the battery compartment some to accommodate the 450 mAh battery's extra length, gives me room to adjust for proper CG. Thanks for the inspiration for these great mods, this plane is a pure pleasure to fly.
