The only bits and bobs from the pnp I ended up using was the motor, esc, vtx, and the stabilizer. Some of the original kits came with a serial numbered sunnysky 2300kv motor, so mine is still doing well after many months of flying. The stabilizer works fine, it is just really sensitive, and TBH not needed. She is a fun little wing. Thanks for the video Andrew! -Jamie
Thanks Jamie, good info
It would have been nice to have seen the model built and flown as per the instructions, and then the modifications done. Have no idea how this kit really works!
Covered in the next video
Nice bit of video, Andrew! I appreciate videos like this. I ordered this wing from Hobbyking last week. Should be here today. I'm looking forward to having some fun with it, despite the cold winter temps quickly arriving. I got the kit version and chose my own electronics, most of which I already had in my parts bin. Take care buddy!!!
Good move using your own gear. Most people ditched the supplied stuff
Nice build instruction Andrew....Agreed about the motor mount, I dont know what it is about motor mounts, but the number of models I have had where I have had to modify it so you can remove a bad motor later are too many to mention. They seem to have a mental block when it comes to designing motor mounts, they always seem to do things the hard way somehow. Look forward to the flight video soon....Nice job.
Agreed. I tend to view these models as a collection of raw materials, and the instruction manuals as something to have a laugh at.
Cool! I've had the kit sitting there for a little while, decided to order in a few bits rather than use what I already had (less room than I thought) didn't want to cut on it just yet.. a Little Bee 30A ESC and Lemon 7CH RX with stabilizer should fit better than the RX and A3L stabilizer & regular 30A ESC I was going to try to squeeze in. Look forward to your flights, mods and "will it slope" tests :)
I'm in the ensambles process, a big help this video (again).
thanks a lot. 😎
Cristian Pimimo look my other comment on motor mount, almost every reviewer (except one Ukrainian guy) did it wrong:)
Hey, amazing video
I'm buying one plus I've got to make a saw like the one you used, brilliant idea for model making ect
Oh yes, very useful tool. It's just a jig saw screwed to a board with a slot in it, and clamped to the workbench. I prefer the Sonic AR wing to the S800. Not as fast but much nicer to fly.
Complimenti per i filmati e per le delucidazioni . Mi chiedevo che lavoro fai
Oh brother, where art thou. Great movie :)
Ha good pickup, yes its a great movie
another good review Andrew. would love to see some more build video though. twin/multi motor design would be my suggestion
I have a twin review coming up next. Might inspire a scratch built twin.
Looking forward to seeing this maiden. I have seen a couple of reviews of this plane already but all using the stabilization, I'm intreged to see fly raw... especailly as the kit version seems a fair price for the quality of the foam..
Yes the kit version would be a good idea.
So the question would be at this stage, as they are all around the 800mm wingspan... Which do you prefer?... A) The Retile S800, B) The Rainbow 800, C) The Wing Wing Z84 or D) the FT Mini Arrow...........
Good question. The Rainbow is a quiet light weight cruiser whereas the Reptile is brutal, fast and furious and can carry weight. The Z-84 is a light sleek speedster and the Mini Arrow is super responsive and great for combat. I like them all!
Nice job once again. Love the mods. Looks like a screaming little demon..
Great video
Maybe I'm seeing things but it seemed like the carbon motor plate had the holes already there for a x mount also
Yes you're probably correct
nice
Hi Andrew
What motor are you using and what prop size?
Thanks for a very informative video
Whatever came with it, mine was the PNP. No longer own this one.
Hey Andrew I love your videos can you buy a theer wing not PNP ,as a kit
Only PNP on Banggood at the moment. Is it a good wing?
It is a beast ,it is very fast thank you for your reply
I have similar emax servos but my pushrod does not fit into the servo arm hole...
Yep, have to drill it out
Well, why did you use UHU por for carbon rodes? UHU Por only glues the foam, not other elements as it reacts with foam only.
Have you read the specs for this glue?
"Glue expanded Styrofoam® also in combination with other materials, e.g. wood, paper, metal, ceramic, plaster, fabric and various plastics. Also for photos"
still no carbon rods, but still I have tested it with foam + other materials and it is not a strong bond... flexible CA is stronger with connection with others materials. Hot glue is also stronger for foam+foam but has other disadv
The ESC on mine (the stock one) is still doing fine really :$
So far I quite like the wing.. Looking forward to seeing what your thoughts on it are :)
Don't be sniffing on the glue to much Andrew! :D
Funny guy! Good to know about the ESC, thanks
Offcourse I allso Did consider tossing out right away ;) But well.. so-far so good..
Ohw.. I Did repace the camera right away..
What tape is that? You called it tough tape. It looks thicker/nicer than what I have found.
Scotch Transparent Tough Tape. It's slightly flexible
Very nice model I would like to know that it feels like flying it. Greetings friend Andrew
Coming very soon Eunario
UHU POR?, specific?
Hey buddy, do you recommend me this wing?
If you like fast FPV then it's excellent. Maybe not great for smooth scenic footage recording.
Thanks!
looks interesting mate, I wonder how it stack up against the Mini Arrow ?
We shall see soon.
Hi what are your throw and expo for the s800
100% throws and no expo when using the stabiliser board.
So you haven't put the stabiliser in right? I ve bought a kit version from Bangood, not sure i'll get the stabilizer with it. Do you recommend to install the stabilizer or just a "simple" setup with esc, bec motor and receiver would be ok?
I did fit the stabiliser in the next video, but I prefer no stabiliser. Simple setup is always best
very nice looking wing, planning on maidening it tomorrow or after the Easter weekend? i might go down to the field tomorrow morning for a few hours
Flew it yesterday briefly, it's a rocket!
awesome, cant wait for the maiden video if you plan on doing one.
Hi Andrew Can you help me choose the engine and propeller and esc (BG or hobbyking) to get 30min fly time or more and get the clouds :) (mix throttle) I have some 2200 3s packs and L9R + XJT module, INAV.....THANKS :)
I don't think you will be able to do it with this little wing
Hey Andrew can you make an video of theer wing PNP, sorry I have already comment in this video can you make it
OK I will add it to the list
Nice video helped me with my build! Had a question for you. With the elevons having that up tilt how much would you say they should move down. I feel like mine barely have move for pitch down vs pitch up
About 10mm up and down maximum. Probably best to have 5 down and 10 up
can i use cyanoacrylate to glue it ?
Thick CA might be OK but I prefer UHU Por
what glue you use?
UHU Por and Hot Glue
I'm going to build one of these for the first time but my question is should I use a receiver with stabilization inside the receiver? Or should I set it up with an Omnibus flight controller with inav to get the gyro on there? I don't know which would be better for this thanks
I'm probably not the right person to ask. Not a fan of stabilisation usually. But either would be OK, iNav would add GPS functions too, but you dont have to have GPS.
you can use a receiver with stabilization inside for simple setup, and flying around near you. If you want to do long range fpv, then you need a flight controller + GPS (for Failsafe :D)
i heard you said that the servos will be replaced. what kind of servos do you suggest? just generic 9g digital servos?
Metal gear digital would be best.
hi andrew,
i'm ready to go for my first wing flight.
only i recon that the expo of my servo's (elevator) up and down aren't as much. in my opinion.
is this normal ? specs. inav f411
Expo is 70 by default in iNav, which is much more than usual. Or do you mean the throws?
i meant the throws
@@berendbotje8792 Increase FF until the stabilised throws are 90% of the manual throws.
thanks it worked !
Hi Andrew, i am just building my first fixed wing, S800, what elevon deflection / servo horn setting did you use?
I never measure deflection. Just used outer holes on horn and arm then had 100 75 and 50 rates. I think 75 was my preferred rate.
is this a good choice for a "wing newbie"? Ive had helicopters and slowflyers before
Lukas Longus yes. it flies really nice and straight. Much easier then some other wings I had.
Yaroslaw Kaminsky thanks. it looks really good for the money.
what rotation is the motor spinning, cw with ccw prop?
You might be right. Came with 4 quad props so 2 CW and 2 CCW.
where is the CG sir?
Cant recall sorry. I dont have it anymore.
What glue is it?? And where did you get it in Australia?? Thanks
Uhu Por contact glue from Hobby King
Hi Andrew can u pls tell me what the cutting tool you used to shape your custom motor mount is called? Looks very useful cheers
That is just a jig saw power tool mounted upside down
ah so it is - ok thanks
Hi Andrew, How did you hit the 125mm C of G? I've just built mine with the same sort of setup, but it wants 130 grms of lead in camera bay with a Runcam Eagle and a GoPro! Seems outrageous to me.
Mine needed GoPro and FPV cam for correct CG. 130g lead extra seems wrong
Good to hear from you mate, and so fast! Mine's a v2 with a direct-soldered Omnibus FCB. I'll try removing the motor extender and using an opto ESC and mount a BEC up front, but 130 grms + a Hero3 and an Eagle - crazy.
brick
Shouldn't be sold as plug an play though , and the motor mount you had to build yourself ?? Banggood are starting to go down hill fast !!
Those terms are very flexible these days, and I have never had a perfectly designed and manufactured model, part of the deal with cheap foams I guess.
Yes i guess so , great review though Andrew , thumbs up .......
Not UHU use E6000 glue from ebay or banggood
or lowes/home depot, probably WalMart in the US
do not glue carbon motor mount! Screw it to plywood!
That's what I did
Andrew Newton No, you did made your own:). Right way is: glue in supplied plywood mount, screw motor to carbon mount, SCREW carbon mount with motor to plywood mount. It has enough mounting holes on sides. Don't know WHY every reviewer just repeat same thing about glueing carbon mount to plywood, what is the point of that at all? It's like first who get it made an error and everyone just repeats it instead of thinking:( every new kit is supplied without standoffs, as they make CG problem even worse. I have managed to balance my wing without any actioncam, but only because I put esc and receiver in battery bay and mounted vtx instead of gopro at the nose near fpv cam. No lead added.
Oh yes that makes sense. But the supplied ply was too fragile to screw into. I'll mount a Mobius rather than a GoPro eventually.
Just looked at the instructions again and it definitely says to glue the CF motor mount to the ply. That's where the bad advice starts
Hi Andrew,
This is not an review of the original kit.
You made so much modifications that it is a complete different wing.
Not an honest way to review a product.
You asume that you won't need a gyroscope (=stabilizer).
This is not the honest way to review a product.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
nice
