Sooo beautiful wish i could safly do this here! Just gatta get away from the city and airline routes... maybe jump up to Canada, this is just GORGEOUS.. BUT STILL should have had me do audio lol 😉👊 If anyone is wondering should I get this wing, Um. Yessss! U can see it flying in my chase video but this really shows this bird LOVES to fly.. great job @ZOHD team! Another all time fav....

ZOHD you did an amazing job in both design concept and manufacturing the Orbit wing with very little room for improvement in the design concept. However most people don't realize how light weight and safe it is, literally a hollow wing of air covered in a thin skin of lightweight foam, but when they see this flying "so close" lol to being above say 400ft some people might think it's safe to fly a larger RC model like that. For now with the FAA looking for excuses to put you out of business probably better to show the Obit Wing flying low and slow like people will actually fly it as after one high altitude flight like this the vast advantages (and greater excitement) of flying low close to the ground and objects (like you are not supposed to do flying full scale aircraft) comes into play as well as staying close to yourself so you can push your skills without a long walk when a tree or someones pet rock not on a leash sneaks up and attacks you.

Thanks John the fact that you noticed that already made our day. Have a great one!

@@zohdofficial6484 Same to you... it's a great little wing! I just hope the FAA and general public wake up to how safe the RC Hobby and it's new generation of foam planes have become. The FAA needs to separate RC aircraft with wings made of foam from multi-rotors made of carbon fiber lifted by propellers to take size connected to weight into account. A 38 Special caliber bullet only weighs 10.2 grams but its small size and high speed is what makes it dangerous. Not classifying RC aircraft accordingly as the FAA does full scale aircraft is simply not logical if the FAA really means to act in good faith and support the RC Hobby which gives kids and their family something exceptionally educational to do and look forward to. But it seems money and politics are exposing an agenda that threatens our Constitutional Right to fly RC Aircraft as I have done most of my life like so many other Americans without incident. The FAA needs to focus on its job duty and do what's important for safety to protect civilians and pilots dying at a high rate due to accidents that should not be occurring with Boeing Scientists sending out a signal "all is not well" under the surface where the FAA is part of the problem. We see people dying in full scale aircraft accidents that are not only preventable but have no excuse happening in the first place. The FAA needs to do its job not chase political interests hoping for a better paying job at the cost of sacrificing the RC Hobby so they can be part of what replaces it. Money is the root of all evil... and at the heart of all politics.

[@zohdofficial6484]

You're absolutely right. We've been encouraging our followers through social media to take action and get vocal about this...because is not really about safety... this is about money and politics. As you mentioned, there are so many things in the list that should be addressed before even start talking about model aircraft that this just makes no sense. As a company, we've been committed to making our planes more reliable and less dangerous, not only from an operational point of view but also investing and introducing new environmentally friendly materials like BEPP that makes those units 100% green. In any case, we appreciate your voice and we'll keep supporting the hobby and the great people in it as long as we have blood in our veins. Take care.

[@JohnFHendry]

​@@zohdofficial6484 I didn't realize you were using BEPP... that's great. Hopefully people will stop taking things for granted and do whatever is required to protect the RC Hobby. The FAA is trying to fix something that is not broken... while the FAA itself is part of a broken system exposing the fact the foundation of commercial aviation is literally killing hundreds of innocent people who depend on professional run commercial operations and the FAA acting in good faith. But when you see Boeing scientists and personal who build commercial aircraft behave in such an irresponsible manner as our Congress learned you know you have a problem connected to money that won't fix itself. The the FAA continue to support the safety of the Boeing 737 MAX even after the Civil Aviation Administration of China had grounded the 737 MAX with other regulators around the world following suite while proclaiming the danger RC aircraft "represent". And that really says it all especially in light of all the other resent aviation tragedies that should not have happened exposing money and related politics is driving the FAA and new commercial interests NOT safety concerns. No terrorist is going to register or obey any aviation laws the FAA comes up with and that is exceptionally obvious. A cell phone in the hands of a terrorist with access to gas pumps all across the Nation is far more dangerous than an RC model that is not an easy tool to use compared to other alternatives. Companies like ZOHD taking RC aircraft to the next level are a threat to commercial interests that want in on the new "drone" business eliminating the competition by eliminating the RC hobby as we know it. A 250 gram weight limit on a fixed wing made of foam like the ZOHD Obit shows the FAA is treating the RC Hobby in a grossly unfair and unprofessional manner to support their friends with money promising to make the FAA bigger and richer... unfortunately there is no money in the real work required to keep the public safe compared to the money flowing under the table that generally always breaks the law when needed. Ironically all you have to do is look at what Boeing's Senior Scientist Dr. Mark Skinner did as my neighbor in Maluhia Country Ranches to see how the politics involved with money cause harm. He tried to increase his personal wealth by breaking rules and laws in place to protect people and as a result harmed many people including his own friends on the HOA Board... hard to hide that now with what followed and so much attention on Boeing's personnel. Time really does expose the truth... you just have to wait.

Thanks so much for the insight John, we appreciate your voice. Let's keep fighting!

Thats it, im buying an extra 2 lottery tickets this week :D

[@zohdofficial6484]

lol

[@cenabitednbfpv587]

U need A STOP WASTING bread for bs like that and buy the best WINGS! Seriously lol theres even the new sub 250g wing... not to sound cliche but WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT.. Never a disappointment from ANY of their models.... NEVER.... and when i get my mitts on the new lil wing. Im going to attempt a speed record with a sub250 fpv wing.. gunna take some steady sticks and light gear but i have a feeling i will be blowing doors off pf cars with its sonic boom! 🤩👊

[@Astronauta1ful]

Lindo!! Vcs pode me enviar 1 desses para que eu possa fazer um vídeo aqui no Brazil?

[@cenabitednbfpv587]

Si!

If you owned the original orbit you have an idea of how good this drone is however you should check on my KZbin feed or Instagram, this will show you videos of the original Orbitz as well as the new orbit Neon I do a video with the first-half being from the GoPro and the second half being from the ground and line of sight so that you can see what the lights look like to other people and it gives a very good overall idea of the quality of the product Which is far superior to the original orbit. I should mention the orbit is the plane that taught me how to fly and got me addicted to, flying fixed-wing aircraft because I could not kill it in fact it was so resilient that even after 100 crashes bad crashes using nothing but CA I have always been able to repair in less than 15 minutes. Needless to say I recommend this product as highly as anyone possibly could recommend a product especially for beginner fixed-wing Pilots for those coming from fpv quad backgrounds nothing could be better for teaching a person to fly fixed-wing is with the built-in stabilizer and it's three flight modes from aerobatic to beginner. The beginner mode I'm speaking of is like a launch mode where it is not only stabilized however it's also got a mix so that when you give it more throttle the ailerons give more lip for example you're coming at something like a tree and you going to crash in the launch mode you would simply just punch the throttle and the nose would go up and fly right up and over the tree. This is also a wonderful wing for long-range and experienced Pilots who will appreciate the very low stall speed almost non-existent as well as the top speed of over a hundred miles per hour. This wing WILL NOT disappoint!,

WOW ... THANKS SO MUCH for your words bud!! :D
