Nice. Haven't built this one but I love flite test planes. This year I'm going to get better at fixed wing. I'm good in the SIM but real life always teaching me lessons.

After flying quads for awhile it was a whole new level of flying fun for me. Definitely build a Mini Arrow! They are so light (850 mah lipo is small too) so risk factor is minimal. My other Arrow video I already improved quite a bit from this one. They are easy to level up!

STILL RIPPIN MINE IN 2024 5 YEARS AND COUNTING FIBERGLASS REALLY HELPED

[@LiftVector]

That's awesome man! The weather is getting warmer and I built another one, haha. Mini Arrow #4 is ready to go!

Ripping!" Just finished my Ft mini arrow, can't wait for maiden. 🙌

[@LiftVector]

Nice! Give it about 60-75% throttle with a little bit of reflex and you should be good to go. I followed the Flitetest throw gauge.

"This is the newest thing I'm into" 😂 I just built my first FT versa wing because I watched some dude ripping a construction site FPV. I have kwads and I have flown LOS aerobatic like 12 years ago. So I had all the stuff and with 2 dollar airframe I tend to do more risky fun flying. I have printed out the spear plans but I like how the arrow looks. Rip On🤙

[@LiftVector]

Dude, you are going to have so much fun. I run mine with an 850 mAh 3s Tattu but I want to try 4s and blow the elevons off this thing! Good luck with the build and first toss. Thanks for checking it out!

[@GhostRyderFPV]

Dude, I have that same Runcam camera (very old) LMAO! I've built three of these things, they're like bashers in the airplane realm. Same Red Bottoms, too, lol. Perfect fit for this situation: You're trying out some new motors on your 5" quad, Ghost Branch says Hello, and now you have three motors that don't match the rest of your fleet. Whaddya do, fire up the hot glue gun lol. If you happen to smash a 3" quad, build yourself a Dart and a mini-Mini Arrow at 2/3 🤣

[@LiftVector]

Being my first experience with delta wings, I am hooked! You are right...this thing just lands however really haha, I love it. I built a bunch of quads back in 2015 and had handfuls of 8 year old EMAX motors and ztw ESCs, they work great! Little bashers man! Thanks for stopping by.

[@DarkMatterLP1]

bro can you share the files for the part(s) blocking the back of the wing pls

[@LiftVector]

Sure NP! Check out this Gdrive link with all the files I made for the Mini Arrow. I printed the Rear covers with TPU, but you can probably use PLA. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gerU3DIOYZsouzvfFOaCnEhO57slEcrn?usp=drive_link

[@b4_king048]

Can you do a video on the fpv set up

[@LiftVector]

It's pretty simple, I'm sure there are tons of videos out there that would explain it better. But it is a Boscam TS 351 VTX (heavy and old 200mw), powered by a JST plug directly from the 12A ESC. The VTX powers the old analog camera, also why it is heavy. Hope this helps!
