Here is my latest Ritewing build. It is an EPP Zephyr 60" quadsparred flying wing Chris at RitewingRC cut for me. It isn't molded like the ZIIs, but is tough as nails and very solid with the sparring system in it. Here is what I got in it:

Hyperion ZS3025 970KV
85a Turnigy ESC
2x MG Servos
Skylark Dianmu OSD
2x 4000mah 4s Zippy Lipos
11x7 Apc E Prop
SC2K PZ0420 FPV Cam
GoPro
2.3ghz 700mW video transmitter
TBS Core
Dragonlink Receiver

For the covering I did a combination of painting and black carbon fiber vinyl. It came out pretty nice. The laminate Chris included was thick, I think 5mm and makes the wing really solid. I highly recommend getting one of these if Chris is still cutting them.

The maiden video was lost as my gopro froze up 1 minute into the flight. Not much happened anyways. This is my 2nd flight. In it I took the plane out 5 miles and then turned around and climbed to 10,000 ft. It was a personal altitude record. This plane is a lot of fun and flies so nicely.
