Thanks! What a simple assembly! Can't wait to see the Maiden.

[@jonoedwards4195]

Lol!

[@RickMaddoxSr]

I'm a sucker for small FPV planes. Gave the ZOHD Drift a go, but never got it to fly that well. I'll pickup one these to try it out.

[@jonoedwards4195]

Drift is Awesome, off a cliff it's hands free Mate? Wake Up Rick.

[@AndrewNewton]

The little twin work surprisingly well, but I do like the drift a lot

Andrew, much love mate,…love yer vids, I’m in the Bay Area, California. Destroyed at least ten planes learning how to fly, still learning, please keep it up. Goes good w/morning coffee. Please be safe.

[@AndrewNewton]

Thanks Steve. Happy to accompany your morning coffee.

[@RcAircraft]

Merry Christmas Andrew! . Looks good, waiting for the maiden. 👍🏻

Same to you Stephen. Flight video up tomorrow

[@dutchloveRC]

Merry Xmas Andrew! I’m headed to the beach this morning for some Le Fishing😎 Greetings from SoCal, where we finally are getting some much needed rain🎉

[@AndrewNewton]

Sounds brilliant. Missing my slopes

Thanks mate, same to you

[@3v1Bunny]

ooh this actually has rudder wow wow

[@bokusimondesu]

Less chance of the props going rouge, when they go the other way 😬🤣

[@HaukLanglo]

Is that an XT-60 or XT-30 battery plug? I find it increasingly hard to get basic information like this these days. It doesn't say anywhere.

[@AndrewNewton]

XT-30 from memory. I'll let you know when I find mine in our boxes

[@HaukLanglo]

@@AndrewNewton You are right. It is XT30 ;) Thanks

[@nmrlab3807]

@Andrew Newton Thanks for the honest review. What would you recommend for a flying wing for novices?

[@AndrewNewton]

Don't learn with a wing Better to try a Bixler 2

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

"It is not that easy getting these things on and off." You aren't kidding! Rather than risk bending those little 1.5mm shafts it was easier to run a drill through them before securing the props with the supplied (on mine) 2mm screws. Battery space is at a premium on this. Using the only available 2s (a 1300mah) made it a little nose heavy and required the canopy to be left off and a rubber band used to secure the battery and leads. Still flew quite well in stabilized beginner mode (self leveling) with a Flysky A8S driving a Byme-A stabilizer and even had plenty of spare thrust to undertake the "hover mode" available on the Byme-A. A note for anyone else setting up this with a Byme-A - TAKE THE PROPS OFF! The motors can take off unexpectedly if you don't get the sequence dead right! EDIT...The motors will give a burst when the calibration combination stick command has been successful. Along with a blink of the LEDs.

[@AndrewNewton]

Nice idea, I must look for the tiny screws.

[@MrVasmikey]

Mine came with four screws to hold down the props. 2 ea. per

[@leemiles3995]

Does it come with the cable to connect the reciever, shown at 0:41 in the box or do you have to buy it separately?

[@AndrewNewton]

Special cable that comes with the plane

[@leemiles3995]

@@AndrewNewton Thank you :)

[@williesforeal9979]

MERRY CHRISTMAS MATE. QUICK QUESTION,,,,,, BUT WILL IT SLOPE ??? 😁😳😜🎅

[@AndrewNewton]

And to you Willie. It will at least once

[@ErnestPJay]

Hi, are the motors brushless ones?

[@AndrewNewton]

Yes brushless

[@makewithmegma]

🔥💕👍

[@jcfpv3454]

Norad Santa tracker if anyone wants to see a really tradition

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

2x 18650s will fit in this - if you do some "fitting"! 😜

[@AndrewNewton]

Poor little fish!

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

@@AndrewNewton LOL. Works great as a Vtol with an 850mah 3s driving a Flysky A8S and Byme-A stab! Set to "Hover", sit on tail (or lean against something if windy) gun the throttle and flip ch7 to "Stabilized" when she's up a few feet! Comes off the deck like its namesake with a Barracuda behind it! 🤪😁 Best sub-250gm around today!

[@daxdadog]

Have you found a place to fly at your new location?

[@AndrewNewton]

Other way around Doug. We found a house near some of the best flying slopes in the country.

[@daxdadog]

@@AndrewNewton That is great news!

[@AerialWaviator]

It's too bad that the battery space for these smaller planes is not designed to be on, or closer to the c of g, so would be much less sensitive to size of battery. Feel for you, having a more suitable battery, and spare servos, but it's all packed up out of reach. Soon it will be better than xmas, being able to unpack all your stuff and enjoy.

[@AndrewNewton]

Oh yes, looking forward to living in our own space. Happy Christmas to you too

[@vanlifefpv6340]

Albert also discovered trying to find the right battery for this is annoying.

[@3v1Bunny]

torpedo pack 2 cells in line :D

[@AndrewNewton]

YES! That's the solution
