By the way, how do you find the Mobius Mini, I like the small form factor, but have read some negative comments about it. |

Well I got a chance to fly the Dual Ducted Fan assain today ..
FIRST sorry no video I was going to try and record the second flight but the wind came up like CRAZY and we packed it up.. the maiden went off without a hitch.. NOW I used to fly it on REALLY high rates with about 30% Expo.. so I left it that way. my takeoff was less than perfect but saveable.. next time low rates for takeoff I over corrected a couple times.. once I got it trimmed in I was TOTALLY impressed. very very fast. flew PERFECT easy to control smooth.. BUT it was WAY quieter than I assumed it would be. I got 4 mins flight time out of a 4s 2200 35c but it was a little warm when I landed.. so I think its going to need more c rating I did get on it quite a bit so that may have been why.. but I LIKE to fly a lot of wide open . all in all it was FUN as heck got some great "WOW WHAT IS THAT" comments so it was totally worth it.. as soon as the wind dies down I'll try and get some video.. I also maidened my Widowmaker.. what a great flying wing! |

you asking me?? it was pretty early it was only 85 deg with a good breeze so it was relativly cool. the battery I was using was a 2200 4s 35 c I think I need to find some 65 c batteries to really make this combo work well. right now motion RC is out of them not sure what others to use.. I WONT use hobby king batteries never had ANY good luck with them..

Prior to this video I had put the Hercules on the black tar road while I was flying other planes. The air was over 90 degrees and the road was probably 140 or so. I didn't think about the hot glue getting soft but the glue on the elevon horns got so soft the horns pulled out and caused the wreck.
If you are using hot glue, watch out for hot cars and hot roads this time of year. The failure was only with the glue not with the plane or electronics. I have had batteries puff in hot weather that did well through the cooler winter and spring temperatures.

I got asked if I really do recommend the Flysky i6 radio.
https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb...3Aflysky+fs-i6 I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up one of the best selling radios of all time. I would buy one again. Here is a thread. I recommend you don't do a lot of the modification unless you really know what you are doing. They work great just the way they come. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...Telemetry-RSSI I have two of them and just bought 6 more receivers. They make great buddy cord trainer radios and so far I have not had any brown out or signal drop. The receivers have two longer antennas. I must admit that I find it a little more of a hassle to install the FS-i6 receivers with the longer antennas but once it is installed they work great. The idea is to put the longer antennas at different angles so that the plane always has an antenna at an optimal angle. I have these radios in all of my Rebels and recently put it in a Vertigo and one of my FPV Albatross The TX runs off regular alkaline Aa batteries. It doesn't have an internal rechargeable option. I don't mind that the TX doesn't have a charger. I rarely have to change the 4AA alkaline batteries. I really like the small size and weight of the TX. It is half the size and weight of a Spektrum DX-6i and it has all of the same features. Both radios have a little learning curve on programming but you get used to them. I do like the "B" receiver better than the "A" receiver because the servo plugs are in the end rather than on the top. https://www.banggood.com/FlySky-FS-i...op-buytogether https://www.banggood.com/FlySky-FS-i...op-buytogether I have suggested to several different brands of radios that they make a smaller transmitter. So far Fly sky has the best hand friendly small transmitter I have seen for a 6 channel radio. Lee |

I assume that radio won't work out of the box on my various E-Flite and HobbyZone BNF's? Half my planes are from Horizon. I think the UMX Radian would be my go-to new guy recommendation if a radio like the Flysky would fly it without mods. (Yes, I currently recommend the Albatross, but few total newbi's are looking to build.)
Someone with time on their hands ought to offer CTH planes built to PNP or BNF level as an income hobby. |

after all the new CTH FPV wings were released - pinatta is getting no love in the forums
still loving mine 3530-1700kv, 7x5, 40A esc, 1800mah 4s outside of my UMX stuff this is my slowest flying FPV plane - it will never have the roll rate or speed of my other wings but ohhh so fun! |
