We spent much knowledge, time and love into this wing because we wanted something that holds our high requirements - something perfect - something that was not available until now!


Our Wipeout combines everything that is important for a FPV wing: long flying durations, very high speed flying but also slow flying is possible, extreme durable and near indestructible, flying characteristics as never seen before and a compact size.


The kit is also very friendly to all the customers out there which want to use their own approved FPV equipment or nothing at all.

Also tested and approved by Team Blacksheeps Trappy ;)

In the spec you show 2x3s batteries, but the picture only shows 1 battery slot?

MatthiasC

The batteries are straight together. This has aerodynamical reasons.

looks like a plain epp wing with a monkeyblunt centre section.

without trying to sound rude, what's so special about this wing compared to other much cheaper epp wings, that warrants a $150 price tag? I'd expect at least a couple of servos and an entry level motor for that kind of money if buying an epp wing.

Hi

Its not just a bunch of EPP that makes it worth the 149 USD its the design, the hundreds of working hours spent into a wing that has flight characteristics like nothing other and the well choosen electronic package.

Its also the service, the manuals and building tutorials that will appear on our Online Shop.


Its build concept makes the wing also ultra durable and crash resistent.


There is nothing similair on the market atm ;)

Wait, so the electronic package is included in the 149USD?

Care to explain what makes it's flight characteristics so fantastic?

And what build concept makes it so ultra durable and crash resistant? A couple of spars, decent foam and laminate?!

Sorry but it looks like a TBS Cap and TW40 clone to me. With a bit of tek sumo in there too.

No. But it takes time to find the right Equipment / ESC Settings / Props etc.

Yes thats true. This is not the primary forum which we use... apologize for that ;)
No its not a Caipi clone or a mixture from anything. We have tested so many wing kits and we were never happy with it. So we decided to completely design a new one. Since we are convinced that flying wings are they key in FPV wings we made this one.
Of course I Can't explain any detail of it (copyright reasons) but i can tell you its the well chosen alignment of many fibre tubes and rods combined with the right building method.
Watch our videos and you should clearly see the result.

Fly over so long time that your GoPro will stop recording because ist battery would go empty and make stunts with this wing that couldn't be done with any similar wing. Fly fast, fly low or fly faster than any Zephyr could do.

By the way there is more material in the wing kit than in a ZII kit (note that the littler more EPP / EPO Material is NO cost Point)!

No. But it takes time to find the right Equipment / ESC Settings / Props etc.

Hmmmm, so basically, you're charging your customers a bit extra just because you had to buy several electronics packages to see which one you preferred?

I'm not being funny, but I doubt everyone who will buy your wing will also use the exact same electronics you suggest.... I'm afraid that's an unjustified so called "development" cost to pass on to the consumer.

I actually like the look of it, but I honestly couldn't spend that much money when there are other much cheaper EPP wings, wings that no doubt have been through just as much development and research as you have carried out for the wipeout.

I genuinely wish you luck and hope you are successful. If you fancy sending me one to review ;) ;) I'll be sure to put the ultra durability and crash resistance to the test.

MatthiasC

No of course thats not part of the price. That will be part of the price for the electronic package. That was just an example ;)

Yes maybee we will. You can send me a request at: [email protected]

If we have one left we can send you one if you promise to make a full build log here ob the forum and some tests ;)
