Swallow EPP Wing


I bought a kit here in the country of origin for about $12.00, cheaper than if I had bought the foam and spars and other stuff. The instructions were in Chinese but not hard to figure out and watched some videos on it. Filled battery void with foam as I had first just taped in the battery and it would break out on every landing.
First flight with 1806/2250kv motor, 4.5 prop and 800mah 3S lipo wasn't great though my cg was too far back. Just not enough torque. Battery too heavy.
AUW is about 198 grams.
So changed the prop to 5 inch and now it flies, even in a mild wind . Does nice rolls going downwind but just barely bucks the wind going up wind.

Will try a calm day and see how this configuration works but really plan to use a 2206/1500kv with bigger prop so that it doesn't scream so much.

Overall, nice enjoyable little wing that I don't have to worry about crushing the fuselage.
