ZOHD Orbit Neon wing

[@antonblebann6823]

@ 12:45 thats a real Close call, awesome Impression, THX for the Efford, Huge Fuselage, provide a lot of Space, ❤ these Evening mood, last Flight for the Day, great Idea, big Salute, and best Wishes from Anton, Vienna 🇦🇹

[@properlytwisted2172]

SO COOL! Looks like Zohd nailed it on this one..A great flyer AND extended flite time..those lights look brilliant!..:)

[@Jimgoodwin846]

Very nice!

[@alex1030]

Cant wait to fly it . Thank you Andrew ! cheers from RCtrader !

[@AndrewNewton]

Excellent, it's on the way

[@reefer2917]

that looks great! ive bought a pair of headlights to put in one of mine! only thing with night flying is your never alone!! those pesky skeeters will eat you alive!!! great vid Andrew

[@AndrewNewton]

So true!

[@killacovertops]

This is a great LOS wing and the lights man so bright, would be fun to take out for some night flights for sure. Love it :D

[@nige5572]

Very nice! I installed lots of lights on a wing, and when I plugged it in I over-amped the balance port and burned myself. This seems like a better option.

[@ΚΩΣΤΑΣΜΑΝΙΑΚΗΣ]

fantastic wing the zohd is the best flyers .nice vid mr andrew

[@1MIC2GO]

Great video and flight. Love the long exposer art. You're always very clever in your edits. Cheers!

[@AndrewNewton]

I think video editing is my real hobby.

[@ashleyschooneman2998]

Great little wing Andrew

[@AndrewNewton]

Yep, not bad Ash

[@Bellairvideo]

That was great #1 If I was out there, I would think ‘they’ were coming to take me away!!

[@AndrewNewton]

Haha, our Area 51

[@stevenbolam]

Nice aircraft / flight , I think I see one of these in my future . Love that control surface system .

[@roughasrc1813]

Awesome mate, a fair bit neater than my efforts of taping Christmas lights and glow sticks on,lol. Cheers

[@AndrewNewton]

Haha, that would work.

[@prestonshute7243]

Hope the council doesn’t get any UFO reports 😳 Super cool looking in the air and seems like an easy build. Cheers

[@AndrewNewton]

I did hear sirens!

[@RobisonRacing68]

I like it! Plus they got the red and green the right way around navigationally. :)

[@AndrewNewton]

Them ZOHD folks are pretty clever

[@jmsgro]

Excelente producto. Muy creativo.

[@dukejet6997]

Uptick in the UFO reports! hehe.. Welldone mate! Love the end stills

[@AndrewNewton]

Busting to do more.

[@darabell9193]

That makes it very easy thank you jw

[@thecraftking113]

Great shots at the end Andrew . seems like night flying is becoming a thing recently Deffintly nicer weather usually. 👍👍👍

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

"You need to rev the motor up to get the stabilization to work." Another 1 of those little omissions from the manual that cause untold hairpulling among us mentally challenged types! ;-) Add to that 1 of the magnets at the front of the body for the camera covers was not glued in. No prob. Stick it in its carbon fiber mounting hole with SupaGlue - then realise it's upside down! Easiest to punch the matching one out of the camera covers. At least now I wont be trying to fit them upside down! :D

[@AndrewNewton]

Ah the joys of dodgy instruction manuals.

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

Watch out the locals will think there is UFO in the park,lol.great plane

[@jamesceastep8874]

Andrew: Do you still own & fly this plane? What do you think of it after 18 months? I'm thinking there are potentially several diverse areas where this plane might shine: 1) Of course, night flying, even for search & rescue. 2) Long distance (have you done any testing? Flight times? What is your flying weight? With Li Ion batteries?) 3) Slope flying? How does it perform compared to your favorite Bixler 1.1? Other comments on configuration after 18 months? Beautiful time exposure with light streaks in night sky! Thanks. Nice job. I want one. Jim

[@AndrewNewton]

I dont have it anymore James. Not really a long range candidate.

[@BigWillieFPV]

Great stuff I’ve got one on order, with fpv how would you add rth with the current flight system it has? Thanks

[@AndrewNewton]

Change stabiliser to Kopilot

[@BigWillieFPV]

I’m loving this wing thanks for the video, how do you calibrate the esc for braking? Thanks

[@AndrewNewton]

kzbin.infosearch?query=esc%20brake

[@BigWillieFPV]

@@AndrewNewton I was able to set my zohd drift esc with braking but the orbit neon esc is different it’s a flycolor fairy 30amp and I can’t find anything to set braking on it

[@iknowlaa]

Dear Andrew Neawton, I'm grateful for your success zohd orbit neon flight..I'm reluctant to ask is it possible if I ask a kinda off tutorial video on how to fly full acro with stick cam view as well as the video of the said wing in view (while flying). Im currently learning to take off n landing n fly arounf but only on launch mode(blue light on).i've tried the full manual but kindof easily loose orientation.

[@AndrewNewton]

Orientation is the toughest lesson for FPV trained pilots. Just takes lots of practice. Dont know if the stick view would help much. The movements are so small. I'll try it anyway.

[@iknowlaa]

@@AndrewNewton , correction on the previous request...lol, what i meant was not the tutorial, I want to have a mental idea of the theory & normal stick cam movement on how to bank n yank..i guess..i hope i got the right word this time. fpv would not be a problem i suppose, this is for line of sight.

[@barrywilson1842]

Hi there. Great video. Any idea where these are sold anymore or something comparable

[@AndrewNewton]

Sonic AR Wing is good, but doesn't come with lights and stabiliser. Nothing close to the Orbit that I know of

[@emgee44]

Is it possible to set a break on the esc so that the prop is level with the body when you cut power for landing?

[@AndrewNewton]

Can set the brake but cant predict where it will stop

[@atw98]

looks like it would make a great long range flier stick 2000pmah 18650 in and hours of fun.

[@johnsimpson2015]

Hi, I'm trying to find replacement zohd neon stabilizer to add to the 2mt wing that I have. I don't want rth etc just this basic set up. Can u advise please.

[@AndrewNewton]

NX3 gyro works well www.banggood.com/NX3-3D-Flight-Controller-Gyroscope-Balance-For-Fixed-wing-Aircraft-RC-Airplane-p-908070.html

[@Wicksy007]

Hi Andrew. Do you have any rates or expo programmed in, or is it all 100%?

[@AndrewNewton]

Not when connected to a stabiliser board. No mixing and 100%

[@SteveLoves2Fly]

One of my friends is having issues with his Night Radian. We are figuring the LEDs are causing radio interference at extended ranges. It's caused him to crash a few times. Did you happen to see if these light cables are shielded on the Orbit?

[@AndrewNewton]

Not shielded as far as I can determine Steve

[@stevietee10]

Static, solidly lit, LED's run on DC therefore there should be no electrical interference. If intensity was altered by PWM switching then you might have an issue.

[@darabell9193]

I would like to order a möbius and a transmitter from Banggood could you recommend one of each I don't need lots of bells and whistles just what will get me reasonable quality I have a fx goggles ,I know you have review these before but I get a little overwhelmed with all the different types thanks john woodfine

[@AndrewNewton]

Mobius C2 is the one I prefer for onboard HD - bit.ly/2RLNLLg Video Transmitter I use is this one - TS5823L - bit.ly/2XRTy1p with Aomway Antenna (Choose RP-SMA for TS5823L VTx) - bit.ly/2KnK7Rc

[@marko5766]

I've been night flying for years, and this one has a pretty good light setup for orientation. Can you put your watt meter on there? I'm curious about how much current those LEDs pull, particularly the headlight, thanks!

[@AndrewNewton]

Good question Mark. 1.29A with all lights, 1.18A without the headlight, 13A full throttle all lights.

[@marko5766]

@@AndrewNewton Nice! My old HobbyKing FlyBeam and Night Walrus both pull over 3A for just the LEDs.

[@RifaOnGaming]

can it be switchoff for day flight? :D

[@AndrewNewton]

Yes, just unplug the JST connectors

[@henrygutierrezjaimes]

Hermosa esa ala😎😎😎😎

[@AndrewNewton]

Yes it's a nice one

[@ukulelefatman]

Will there be night sloping in our future?

[@AndrewNewton]

Video from down below would be good

[@ukulelefatman]

From "Down under" ? : )

[@christophbader3713]

Uhhh... what about an evening at the slope? :)

[@AndrewNewton]

That would be fun, and very cold at the moment

[@peterfranzen3538]

Hi Andrew I don't mean to be party pooper but the casa web page seems to say it is not leagal to fly at night. Have you looked at the rules and if so what's you opinion on if it's ok to fly rc at night.

[@leogarcia909]

When are you going to give one of your fans a plane?

[@AndrewNewton]

Planes and cameras since 2014

[@oldflyingman7581]

oh, a UFO ... they always come at night :-))

[@AndrewNewton]

Many UFOs have been spotted here over the decades. It's our Area 51

[@MartyLJ57]

If it didn't have any noise if would be missed ID as a UFO
