Hobbyking Darkwing on 6s?

[Billy_boy_2010]

Hi guys

This seems a pretty rare plane and I have to admit I rather love the look of it

It's far from ideal for fpv of course- being balsa and fibreglass most components would have to stay in the central hatch. And running a camera on the front would ruin the aero and look

But I have been hankering after a 6s setup for a while and this thing is screaming out for a beefy 6s motor like this

Thoughts or experiences please anyone?

No real reviews on youtube although it appears to be a bugger to launch. 1300W of 6s should fix that though :)

Nevermind guys- whilst there's not much on youtube or fpvlab rc groups do not rate it.

Fragile, tip stalls and flat stalls (!) and far from ideal for fpv. Loads of build in reflex too.

Shame it looks the nuts.

Plus, if I crash it the damage potential to something is far higher if it's glass and balsa

I've always liked the look of it too but came to the same conclusion as you.
If I ever end up with more money than sense though I'll buy it just to hang in the wall.
