Introducing the "Wipeout - by Happy Flyers"

[BlueFlyer]

Thanks, I think there are more suitable people on here that would do your product justice. I have very little time on my hands as it is, it would be unfair of me to promise anything.

Hi

Inofficial techdemo video. Sound was recorded from groundstation.

First 4:40 is max performance / speed test
Rest of the video is endurance test

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)!

Fair enough. But the odd visit to the forum to offer advice or encouragement goes a long way :)

Your videos are very enjoyable and the wing does look very nice :)

Given it's small size, how stable is it? Does it respond well to simple flight stabilisation?

It is very stable for that! It flyes similair to a big 150cm Zephyr with 2.5kg load (which you also can see in the video Wipeout #3). By design it is possible to control the wing Ultra smooth (very high rudder horns give Ultra long servo ways and ergo Ultra high control resolution).

On our test wings we use servo ways of 80-90%! So yes, the wipeout responds very well to simple flight stabilisation ;)

So you're saying it has the stability of a 1.5m fully loaded Zeph with the agility and portability of a small wing? That's very impressive.

You forgot that it will do a touch under 90 Mph and fly for 45 minutes. Reports are coming in that it will also find your car keys if you lose them on the flying field too.

I sayd similair but yes, this is what im saying. We also tested the wing in downhill conditions.

The secret is the amount weight in proportion to the wing area ;)

Please keep it serious. Of course it doesnt fly 45 minutes when you always want a speed at 90 mph. But with our setup 45 minutes flight time are no problem with 40-50 mph (65-80 km/h) - that i guarantee!

Seems very impressive given the 10-15 mins I manage out of my 1m wing (albeit with a single 2200 lipo).  It is pretyt expensive though, which makes it less attractive as something people might give a go in big numbers.  That said if someone here gets one, then I'd be really interested to see how it performs.

Cue a test pilot?  Well if Ritewing are sending out Z3 for people to give reviews on maybe you should send one of the kits to Ipeel, Brucey or CK to endorse the product on these forums (or any other wing lunatic  ;D ).

Just not me as tend to destroy anything that flies within 30m of take off.......

[MatthiasC]

Yes we will send out a wing kit (only the kit of course) to some one in this forum here for free.

Like i sayd, interesters can write me on: [email protected]

Ive dropped them an email about testing one verses our many other wings.

Will do a full build log and review if we get one. Plus test it with the zephyrs.  ;D

[Gundummy]

Well that's a result  ;D

Nice one Ratty and hats off to Happy-Flyers  :D

[CurryKitten]

Nice one Ratty - you can bring it along to the next Mad Dogs and the rest of us can poke/prod it and ask questions

If you are Richard i received your request ;) As soon as the first Charge is ready, we will send you a kit. Please also send us your full address!
