Ritewing Drak multibuy?

[dogzilla]

I can only do two per box.

! No longer available

I love when you came real close to the camera and seemed to hang there, I assume you powered down and was forcing a stall?

[Ritewing]

Yes I had a slight headwind and was throttling down and pulling elevator to show it stall, it has just about full control in stall, if it does stall just throttle up and climb out, or let it stall  and it will usually i just drop the nose  a bit. If it tips let it drop the nose down and it will pull rite out with a little airspeed. You can see just as I stalled it I throttled up and climbed out like a rocket ship. A little throttle blip stops the stall.

At the beginning of the flight we were just showing the stall and its flight manners, after about ten mins of flying my buddy went and threw up the inspire to film it, he said he couldn't resist after watching me stop it in mid flight multiple times. They could not believe how much vert it had and how smooth it was , the vid was an unplanned event.

This is a new vid for the people who are doubting the rigidity and strength of this foam.

What autopilot are folks thinking of using? Vector, Pixhawk, Ruby, ??...

[Andy Sayle]

I'll try a vector in mine to begin with, mainly because I have it already.  I'm half tempted to try out an openpilot revo too though.  I'm odd like that. ...

[stevec]

Probably apm for me as I already have one and hopefully I'll have it totally dialled in by the time I get a drak

Pixhawk for me

[mutley2]

I'll use a Cyclops Tornado, got one in the Z3 and it ticks all the boxes so no need to change.

[Andy Sayle]

Think I'll try an eagletree vector in mine, as I have one looking for a home.  That said, the maiden flights will be no flight controller at all.  Just retro line of sight flying I reckon...

Do we have a potential price?

After watching the build vid Chris say's about using 3 tubes of Goop, that's £27 on glue!
Is Goop the same as UHU POR?

[Ritewing]

Does this work?
You can get the big caulking tubes, they are 10 oz and not that expensive

Goop it is then, thanks for the fast reply Chris, can't wait for the build to start, project box is filling up quick  :thumbsup:

Just found this, 10oz tube for £8.40 and it says free UK postage

Pulled the trigger on mine in mid Nov and wondered if any one had got shipping notice yet from the UK as Chris has been posting these for a few days now!

[Andy Sayle]

Not yet.   I ordered early Nov too...
