Angelwing Dammit-e V2 first flight

[@bcflyer99]

Neat little wing. I suppose shipping from the UK to US is quite high, maybe matching the price of the plane. My kind of model though. Thanks for sharing.

@@bcflyer99 the box doesn’t weigh much so shipping may not be too bad. Ask Andy at Angelwings

Excellent get the micro S for slope ❤

Hi Steve, looking good! I’ve just ordered one of these and was wondering whether you feel the rudder is worth having / connecting up? It seems more like a bank-n-yank model and so a rudder may be unnecessary? Thanks! 😎👍🏻

[@jetplaneflyer]

I'd probably not bother with the rudder. I used it on this one as it was a prototype build so i wanted to test out the option. In reality I've only used the rudder very occasionally for a few stall turns. Omitting the rudder and servo also gives you a better shot at bringing the weight under the magic 250g.. I was 2g over

@@jetplaneflyer Thanks for your feedback Steve! Yes stall turns / coordinated turns were the only things I could think the rudder would be useful for, and this doesn't seem the type of model those manoeuvres are designed for 😁

By the way, what's the big deal with the 250g target weight? Does it mean you can fly closer to / over people, as per the drone regulations?

[@jetplaneflyer]

@@HorizonimagingCoUkPhotography The Drone regulations only apply if it's 250g or over. Anything less is exempt so you can fly anywhere you like, subject to common sense of course.

@@jetplaneflyer - Thanks Steve! So what does getting under 250g mean in terms of where you can fly? I've always flown my planes wherever I feel there is enough space / away from the public anyway?
