I really struggled because it wouldn't even take off! I wasn't even sure if it was built correctly and was able to fly at all. My fly buddy Gianpa flew it line of sight today and he gave me confidence that the wing is actually working, so the problem was launching  So he helped me launch it and I flew it in FPV successfully!

Years (a lot of them) ago I used to fly RC sailplanes....different from a wing of course, but I remember the sensation of wing generated lift. Lots of fun indeed!  "Damn the torpedoes!!!

You make it look easy The sticks are completely different: increase throttle makes you go faster and have more control to the craft to go up and down you use your pitch stick to turn left or right you have to use both pitch and roll (pretty much like a quad), but i still keep moving yaw stick sometimes and of course that doesn't do anything lol It's fun and i am sure you can pick it up on your first day since you know how to fly quads very well flying FPV is a lot easier than LOS IMO • Posts: 331 Threads: 47 Likes Received: 114 in 84 posts Likes Given: 76 Joined: Oct 2017 Reputation: 1 I'm so dang jealous!! I have been back and forth on getting a wing, but I am absolutely terrified to try and fly it. No idea what I'd be doing. • Posts: 1 Threads: 0 Likes Received: 0 in 0 posts Likes Given: 0 Joined: Feb 2017 Reputation: 0 wish i could fly wings fpv everday • |
