Flyingwings Falcon EVO FPV

[Bertie]

Gave it a try and to be honest I think the plane feels more locked in with the air going through the holes.
Incidentally for anyone needing more winglets get down to your local sign makers and beg for offcuts.
I made a template out of plasticard and have enough material  to last me a while.

Maidened my new Falcon just now. Opted to remove all the fpv gear for the maiden and had a nice uneventful couple of flights.  No doubt it will be a bit trickier with the added weight but will soon find out hopefully  :laugh:

What power system are you using? Im using their standard efficiency model and launching isn't too bad even with two batteries, autopilot and full fpv gear. Having said that, i do give it a damn good throw on full power.

I bought a 1750 kV 28 mm outrunner Emax? motor from Giantshark just before it went, A 3S 2200 battery and a 30 A Turnigy Plush ESC. APCE 7 x 5 prop.  I reckon it should be OK with the weight. Its that first launch that is the worst and I'm over that. :)

As for batteries, I just try to make sure everything works with 2200 3S, then I dont have to keep buying batteries..
Hope to use em in my Aether too !

Sounds good- should be pretty nippy!

Provided it has plenty of power on launch, do consider flying with two 2200 in parallel to give super long range and 4400 :) Put the second battery as far back as poss so it wont affect CG much.

HeHe .. OSD flies.. I got a video, but with my 25 mW Gear and no tracker yet its  pretty patchy video so will edit the crap bits before posting .. but It Flies :)

Good old Falcon flies a treat too, even though the wing seems a bit warped, but that is prob my building  :laugh:
