Great little glider, flies really nice on a slope with 18650 2S batteries and the VC-400 Vtx. Steady and stable in stabilize mode. Really like the RTL functionality in that it flies a much tighter radius than the ZOHD Kopilot FC does and it’s at a higher altitude too, so there’s far less risk of hitting an obstruction..

its a fiddly task but you could add a small amount of tape to one prop blade, run it up and see if it gets worse or better on the wobble. worse, take tape off and try the other prop. and that little glider is great and flies silky smooth. if it had rudder control that would make it perfect.

Some comments regarding the build and setup: 1. I suggest to unmount the servo arm and lock it to a push rod - then insert and secure tail tube and mount the arm back 2. Do not apply too much force to the screws - they are plastic and "nuts" are metal 3. I used FD802-clone receiver set to SBUS mode - but transmitter (FrSky DJT) had to be set to PPM to communicate. 4. Don't forget to map the 3-position switch to 5th channel if you want to change modes. 5. Had to calibrate throttle (usual way - plug the battery when throttle is all way up, wait to two-beep indication and set the throttle to zero) - otherwise motor was spinning only when throttle is 80% and up. Even after a calibration - ESC seems to have only 3-4 steps from zero to full (probably can be reconfigured).

This actually looks perfect for a newcomer to FPV. Even as an experienced FPV flyer it's always nice to have a compact cruiser on hand for longer flights or for when you're on the road. The Zohd package here makes it easy to set up and easy to use. Combine this with a medium range control system like Crossfire. Do not FPV with Spectrum or other short range receivers!! Not that they're not fine for RC, but because they are really easy to outfly under FPV without realizing it - resulting in a lost model.

Oh no! Should have stuck to manual for a while maybe. I love mine, specially as a sloper.

some info. at 8:28, remember, you are compressing PLASTIC !!! at 7:43, at Least the elevator servo is correctly Located. at 5:20, the root chords of the stabs SHOULD be Equal. vert-stab is extra large and Heavy. at 8:43, the (outboard) location of the mass of the aileron servos reduces roll-axis stability; the aft location of that mass further wonkifies the dom. at 10:08, it is not clear whether elevator control horn is Correctly located. these are sorts of mistakes that Manufacturers Continue to make. expressing cg location as a distance, only, is Less informative than also saying it as, a Percentage of Chord. googletranslate
