HobbyKing sent me this over to review, which tells me that they either didn't watch a previous video I made about them.  Or perhaps they did, fixed all the things I was critical about and sent me a sample over to demonstrate it :)

Anyway, this is the Durafly Tomahawk Wing.  It's just 670mm, so pretty small and obviously, it doesn't like much wind about.  Beggers can't be choosers though - it was gusting a bit when I flew it, but that's little wings for you.  Here's the video review -

So, I like the wing, it's a nice design and the flight characteristics are ok.  I just think it's a bit expensive.... but that said, I've never had a Durafly model before.  Can anyone tell me that they are priced higher because they have particularly good foam, and parts or something else ?  For less, you can pick up a Zohd Dart which has a stabliser and breaks down for easy packing, but it doesn't have hte plastic section on the front that works well in a crash impact. 

Opinons are welcome.  In the meantime here's an affiliate link to the product page  https://hobbyking.com/en_us/durafly-tomahawk-mini-class-fpv-racing-wing-670mm-pnf.html?affiliate_code=DCAXXVENULTJBMH&_asc=433049497

I don't think it's priced especially high, certainly in general Durafly are pretty cheap for what you get.  They've certainly never been regarded as premium quality or anything like that.  They generally seem to seek to undercut Horizon Hobby rather than Banggood.  They're also never discounted at launch unlike the models on Banggood so I'd reckon this'll be cheaper in a couple of months.
