Horizon Insider Tech Talk: Blade Inductrix Switch Air

[@graywoulf]

I just bought one for flying indoors. Glad to see that replacement parts are still available. This looks like a lot of fun to fly.

[@slasherdeath9240]

So is the quadcopter part of the switch waterproof like the original switch body? Somebody pls answer..

[@markdowning9798]

How does it fly with a small FPV camera? Also, does the wing have an acro mode?

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

now that is the best question yet.

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

I will be finding out soon as my switch air is almost here now.

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

it does, videos have been posted. I even flew it outside with fpv.

[@glennong8415]

I have the eariler version inductrix blade and the MLP4DSM controller. Do i need to buy a new controller to go with the Switch Air? I am assuming the RTF Switch does not include a controller.

[@MrROCKRUSHMORE]

Do you have settings for the DX8

[@bzmotoninja83]

Can this be scaled for larger systems?

[@rickardjacobful]

I'd like to fly with the wing, I don't like the proprietary cable for firmware though. Micro USB like everything else would be ideal.

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

that would add quite a bunch of weight and, therefore lessen the "fun" factor.

[@rkstone1467]

will it fly out of box or will it need programed first?

[@horizonhobby]

It will fly out of the box!

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

I want to second Ray's comment. A brushless versions would be outstanding if it can keep near the same form factor, in fact a whole line of " Switch Brushless" would be awesome. you do seam to be behind the brushless whoop craze.

[@WHATSJAXAT]

is this discontinued now ? ?

[@horizonhobby]

The Switch Air as a separate item is indeed. However, the Switch hovercraft and wing conversion are still available.

[@sillydronevalley539]

Are you going to sell the foam wing alone for people who already have an industrix ?

[@LCAviator26]

Is the switch air program compatible with the original switch hovercraft?

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

he answered that in the video, yes but you have to update the firmware and that requires a special cable that they are bringing back

[@mmmasterscross7915]

Looks like Great Fun!

[@bentsound]

Why was this discontinued so quickly?

[@horizonhobby]

It made more sense to sell the wing separately.

[@yhsif02]

Ive got that cable somewhere must dig it out.

[@StrikerBladeCo]

I tested flights with my switch air and in forward flight I got less flight time. Would love to hear from you. I uploaded a video about it.

[@mikeupton5406]

I like the VTOL aspects of the the wing.

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

Can't wait for this on, this is an awesome idea.

[@dadeoof4255]

Can't wait, mine will be here next week

[@Lumakid100]

You should make an inductrix switch air fpv brushless

[@wwboverlord4052]

You guys are so helpful! Thabks

[@Soldier53flyer]

When are you going to make a big one?

[@dansdeadbugz]

When can I buy this?

[@horizonhobby]

Pre-order now, should be here soon!

[@lacucaracha111111]

is that an STOL wing !?

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

yes it is.

[@slasherdeath9240]

No VTOL

[@lacucaracha111111]

@@slasherdeath9240 STOL Short takeoff and landing basically VTOL-light XD

[@slasherdeath9240]

RIP my ego....

[@lacucaracha111111]

@@slasherdeath9240 I was dumbfounded when I heard there wasnt just VTOL but STOL too XD

[@youdontknowwhoiam5097]

you need to make these in larger sizes as well

[@furonwarrior]

Spectrum needs to make a Safe/AS3X receiver...

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

they had one, you programmed it via, that cable they just showed too. I bought one a few years ago but, all support dropped I even cut one of the program cables I had, it worked with a phone.

[@incubrian]

8:52 is the greatest thing ever

[@yhsif02]

Mark, he already answered your questions, ive downloaded the manual, i think if you do the same it will help answer your questions.happy flying.

[@mickvk]

Pretty innovative. I like it.

[@MichaelSmith-pt1qm]

Beautiful design, it's only a matter of time before "they" scale it up to full size

[@slugosrc1256]

A two cell inducrix fpv please!

[@yhsif02]

Please make it brushless

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

ohhh, that is an awesome idea.

[@TheAfroengineer]

I'm thinking to switch them for newbeedrone unicorn motors (25000kv) and a aio fpv camera. That should make it a lot faster.

[@carrboro_chapelhillfpv2442]

@@TheAfroengineer use the gold motors, the unicorns are to much for the inductrix board, it makes it oscillate to much.

[@jemlittle1787]

Community inspired lol Priceless

[@yhsif02]

Goog idea carrobo lets make em all brushless.

[@pinnaclehobby]

Worst manual and nomenclature I have seen in a long time. My customers get confused with mode 1 mode 2 flight parameters versus mode 1 mode 2 stick layout (ie throttle on left or right side). Also it is nearly impossible to find the info for arming/disarming the motors. I would suggest that on page 9 in the section labeled takeoff you add the instructions for arming the motors (which, by the way, for anyone reading this is to press down on the throttle stick (the throttle stick is also the bind button). Once it is flying it is great!

[@yhsif02]

Sorry Carrboro,

[@RCWOZDUDE]

They probably want your first born for it ok $50 not bad!
