Nano Talon

[Andy Sayle]

I've just ordered one.  When going on holiday with the family, space is at a premium in the car.  Hopefully this will fit in a bit better than the Mini Talon....

I'd be interested to hear what you think of it.
I'm still tempted but cant quite bring myself to hit the 'buy' button.

I'll put a sort of mini review up whence it gets here from shores afar!

I'm not convinced it will quite work and scale down. Could be a real handful.

But if it comes in under 250g and flies with a mini quad motor and small Lipo it's likely to be popular and super cheap to build.

Bit of delay receiving these, but a pair of them just showed up on my doorstep.  I've had a look in the box, and it looks pretty neat to be fair.  Nicely packed, and not a lot of bits as it is essentially pre built for you.  The wing panels plug in (aileron links are rotary drive with the servo in the fuselage) and are held in with a little plastic clip.  I have my doubts that clip will last, but we shall see.  The tail halves also plug in, and are retained with a magnet in the root of each half.

The fuselage has a nice large bay for a battery, access over the wing for the servos and built in ESC and flight stabiliser, and there is another access panel under the fuselage.  The motor is a 2204 sized affair, and there is a prop included too.

There is even a little plastic mount for fixing a HD camera above the battery bay at the front, which is nice.  No FPV gear is included, but there is a hole in the front fuselage for an FPV camera.

IN all, it's a neat little package.  We shall see how well it flies when I install the radio and FPV gear this weekend.  At some point I'll probably put a flight controller in there that has a RTH facility (the included stabiliser is just that, a stabiliser).

Now to get some pics off my phone...

Interested in seeing the photos :)

Here's a couple of snaps of the kit.

 Nice, it needs an Omnibus F4 in it now....lol.....By all accounts, it's going to have more range than you can imagine.

Just looks disproportioned to me still, very interested to see how this flies scaled down like that.

[Dave]

I want one even more now!

It was its disproportionate, almost cartoon like appearance that caught my eye in the first place. I love it for its craziness ;)

VERY interested to hear how it fly's :)

[Dave]

Even more craziness from the same company :o

Dont like this one as much though.....

Looks like someone had put the nano talon together on the wrong order 😂

The middle section looks like a Ketchup bottle :D

But i think both will fly nice, even better with iNav installed.
Those little planes can be very efficient and i think trip distances around 50km should be possible (if i can fly 23km with 170g/40cm plane)
