Flyingwings Falcon EVO FPV

[iPeel]

But what motor do I want for this? I've got several 2200mah 3s lipos hanging around and will use them, I've got a 2200kv on my wing wing and that doesn't seem that fast.....

Is that the 2826/6? I've used them on Falcons running 3S and it was plenty fast enough on a 7x5 prop.

Yes, It's running a 6x4 on the wing wing and it gets up to about 95kph.

Your build thread and the few videos of them on youtube really convinced me lol. I'm a bit apprehensive about applying the laminate as it's just the sort of thing I fudge up but I guess it will work out somehow lol.

perhaps I should ask for some commission lol

I too was terrified about the laminating process, but it was really easy and went on with no trouble whatsoever.... did you remember to put a message in the comments box saying who you were on this forum to get your laminate film for free?

Laminating looks harder than it is. Watch a couple of vids and you'll be fine. Just make sure you put the lam on the right side down....gets sticky!

If you've ever covered a model in Solar film etc.. before then laminating is incredibly easy. If you've never covered anything then it could be a bit more tricky but with a decent iron you can't go wrong.

Edit: laminating is much easier than gluing the thing together straight lol

Cool, cheers. I will have something to keep me occupyed over the weekend :D

 I couldn't make up my mind which motor to get so I ordered a 2826 1400kv, a 2200kv and a 30A ESC. This way I can try out both motors and see what I like best. The long flight time of the 1400kv sounds good but may p*ss my spotter off when he's waiting for his turn to fly  :laugh:

[BlueFlyer]

although the 20 minute flight time is good, I did find that my buddy's skyhunter was way faster... when chasing him he could easily get away from me... also, when following me he had to fly so slowly he was verging on a stall.

I too have the 2200kv motor, so will pop that on for this thursday's flying session... see how it goes.

To add to the mix, I run a 980kv spinning an 8x8 prop on 4S. Here's a video from Terrabound:

That was actually the second flight on the same battery, a 4000mah Multistar! I normally run a 1800Mah 4S zippy now and get pretty decent flight times out of that.
