Hi Guys,
rob at flyingwings.co.uk has sent out a falcon flying wing prototype for me to test.
in this thread you can follow the build and also the flights to come once everything is ready to rock and roll!
Thanks to rob for providing the wing i am honoured to be asked to carry out the testing.

Hi Guys,

The 4 test planes were sent on Friday, sorry for little coms, it was mad busy and i have just come back from Yorkshire slope soaring, nothing like freezing rain going up your jacksy at 45mph. I came 4th again in the flyingwings challenge trophy, beaten by a 9 year old  :laugh:

I did not get a chance to finish the Gopro cradle but this can be added later.

the Falcon flies great, but it would nice to see some alternative power setups, maybe a duration challenge ?

The instructions are just a basic guide only

If someone who requested a sample, but did not get one, let me know, they went interlink and are trackable.

All the best Rob

For the love of all that is holy someone post a pic of what this looks like and give us information in terms of power setup, battery, AUW, etc..

errrr... aren't you supposed to place things and check CoG before cutting? battery bay is the last thing to do isn't it?

[liambaker996]

already had some other servos laid out ect...same make servos just not the ones im using.

[dogzilla]

So it's a wing that's bigger than the raven but smaller than the slipstream?

[liambaker996]
