To avoid my endless drama in launching my many wings I built myself a PVC tube/bungee launcher. Fun little project, sets up quickly and now I can just have fun and not worry about getting bitten by a prop or botched throw, ending in crumpled or torn foam. The launcher works so well that I even installed launch hooks on some of my other planes.
Thanks Andrew, just bought one. What a great little throw on the back seat job. I had a 2826 2300kv spare, and it turned into an unlimited vertical beast on 4S (3300mAh) when pushed by an 8x5 folder. Love it on 110% throws.
Perfect type of model for a FrSky S6R Giro reciever Andrew. These type always smooth out and respond well to a giro...Surprised you never reviewed one TBH..?
looking at adding a lower kv motor and larger prop on this, what would you recommend? Really do appreciate your experience with these wings. Thank you so much for all you video's and enthusiasm .
Is that “fluttering” during level unloaded flight that you can see in the vid, just turbulence from temperature differences near the ground? Seemed a little gusty..? Love your honest direct reviews! Thx!
i would call that a prop jet more than a wing ...its very much lot a radjet,funjet or zeta blaze.... i have flown these for years...they are a ton of fun and can do crazy moves ...the more power the more crazy...easy to fly as long as you can see them...unfortunately eye sight is my weak link and have lost a few and crashed many times...most of the time i repair them multiple times before i retire them...
What do I know? I just struggle to fly my own models anyway. Still it won't stop me from showing my thoughts about this beautiful model: it could be more stable with a few cm2 of wing area; it looks fast and twitchy, not for newbies. This nose is too long for comfort, it will not survive many hard landings. I'll end this with a question. After reviewing a lot of these forward swept wings designs, which one is the best for someone who is not an ace pilot (asking for a friend)? Love your content, you are the go to source on my foamie buying decisions.
Bugger,, it looks so good in the sky too,,, I was hoping for it to be a bit easier to fly as it would have made for a great small scout FPV. You make it look too easy. Did you find ya other prop and nut???
It's one of the coolest planes out there..Definitely would get black. It would look awesome going that fast. Plus it would be easier to see. For me anyway. Except at night,. Would need led's. Great landing!!! Subbed..
Sophie, I put LED (5) strips on the leading edges, port and starboard, they work a treat on an overcast Ozzie day, especially, flying towards yourself on landing when you're looking at it head on, very hard to see. A great little aircraft. Mine has a 2826 2300kv with 8x5 folding and leaps out of your hand on 4S full throttle launches.
Andrew,
My wife has started watching your videos with me. I cast them to the TV and we enjoy.
Excellent, hello Ms Caraco
Looks like a swan flying with it's long neck! Nice.
A pretty dam fast swan! Lol
That first Lauch was epic!!! Great video ;)
Wow. very little wobble on that rear footage - thats solid. Nice ! Thanks Andrew
It is reassuring to see even one of the Masters of Flying like yourself can make a simple error. Glad you were prepared, and got it flying well.
That looks like a great little plane!
Thanks a lot Mr. Newton. Now i start hesitate between this and the Agressor.
then pick them both :D
@@alerx94 Just don't tell to my wife!
Aggressor is totally different wing, slow and steady and wants big batteries. This one would be more nimble and fast. Cheers

Sounds sweet, how about sharing some pics?
@@billfromelma Not mine but very similar in design. Check TH-cam for more - th-cam.com/video/m6oIxusWyY0/w-d-xo.html

Sounds mad!
Version 2 needs provision for DJI Air Unit and/or CADDX Vista. Great looking bird, on the shopping list.
Woo its amazing
It looks beautiful
Cool flight, thanks for sharing! 🐾🐾🐾☠️

Looks like a Klingon Beast of Prey in the air....

Yes that would be OK. The only hassle with a bigger prop is you might have more torque roll on launch.
It looks very aerodynamic and seems to cut through the air very well. Very nice flight demonstration ;-) See you in the Air!
will it slope? :)
Great video thank you for sharing 😊 Just ordered one of these but I'm putting in a high power set up For speed😊
Yeah!
Hands off my doodads!
Well done Andrew!.. I brought the Aggressor because of your review.... now this!!.... Lucky I'm building a P-47... Stop it with the good planes!! :)
Ha, they keep sending them to me
Great video.
Btw, it seems like always dropped in altitude during launching... Should the setup with higher thrust?
Best to give a stronger throw to get that initial air speed
Is that “fluttering” during level unloaded flight that you can see in the vid, just turbulence from temperature differences near the ground? Seemed a little gusty..? Love your honest direct reviews! Thx!
Just turbulence I think
Super nice😎🇺🇸
Good review and flight Andrew... i was actually looking at one of these just for a bit of 'line of site' fun at the field...
Yes a fun little model Craig
Nice😍👌👍
Where does this one fit in? How direct is this compared to the others?
Not as precise or fast as the MD, and it easily loses height in the turns.

Love your content, you are the go to source on my foamie buying decisions.
Probably the Dart XL Enhanced for easy of launching. Mini Drak for speed and durability when you're up for it.
@@AndrewNewton thanks. The Mini Drak is a pain to import. The Dart XL, is much cheaper to buy and ship.
Your damn good at LOS i used to be now in FPV spoiled.. i can't fly los anymore lol
Haha, I did start before FPV was so accessable
What conclusion did you come to regarding throws, Andrew
I didn't record throws. But I used 2nd hole on the servo arm and 65 ele / 35 ail mix
@@AndrewNewton OK, I'll start there. Thanks Andrew
Bugger,, it looks so good in the sky too,,, I was hoping for it to be a bit easier to fly as it would have made for a great small scout FPV.
You make it look too easy.
Did you find ya other prop and nut???
No but I have spares luckily
would you rate this as good a long range slow flyer equal to the aggressor? Love your videos!
It's just like a smaller version, faster and more agile. Can't carry as much battery but would get there quicker.
Do you think a setup using a 1900kv motor, 7" prop, and 7000mah li-ion battery would make for a good long range build?
Hmmm, good question. Depends on the motor, it would be a heavy setup
It does look nice and you got it flying just great, the dip on launch looked bad, but any way i will leave this one to the experts
They all dip for some reason. Maybe the Dart XL and Rambler not so much.
@@AndrewNewton cant say my ramblers dips, but yeah the old dart 635 tended to dip
what sort of camera do you strap to your planes?
He has used Mobius and Runcams in the past.
That would be in the description
Which one would you recommend better?, the AtomRC Dolphin or the LTE Rambler RS or the Dart XL Enchanced, could you make a comparison video
All good so get the one that looks best to you.
I have had terrible outcomes with long nose forward swept wing crafts for some reason. Too squirrelly for my blood.
I love your vids :) what amp meter do you use ? to send it to the control ? Please
FrSKY 40A current sensor - bit.ly/2H670Ln
@@AndrewNewton ty ty
Can this handle a 3700mah lipo battery ? For a longer flight time
I tried a 3500mAH Lion
@@AndrewNewton nice I'll try that thanks
Hi can that plane and the mini drak can map the area
Aggressor would be more suitable for mapping
@@AndrewNewton thanks
Which plane have a better low speed handling? The Aggressor or Dolphin?
Aggressor as long as you dont overload it
What is the sir thrust angle please reply and how to make this
I don't have this anymore. Thrust angle was OK as it was.
now when i turn on my T16 it says: "GREETINGS FOLKS"... it's so funny to hear !!
Brilliant, they should all come like that
I can't believe you did not mention the stealth technology that allows the plane to disappear. It is perfectly obvious on the video.
Good point, secret tech
It's one of the coolest planes out there..Definitely would get black. It would look awesome going that fast. Plus it would be easier to see. For me anyway. Except at night,. Would need led's. Great landing!!! Subbed..
Welcome. It is a cool model
Sophie, I put LED (5) strips on the leading edges, port and starboard, they work a treat on an overcast Ozzie day, especially, flying towards yourself on landing when you're looking at it head on, very hard to see. A great little aircraft. Mine has a 2826 2300kv with 8x5 folding and leaps out of your hand on 4S full throttle launches.
White On White Is Really Hard To Follow, Butt w/FPV It's Easier To See! Maybe Put A Sound Module In It Soo It Honks Like A Goose? LOL
First. Awesome video.
I just look at the nose on these types of planes and think - in my hands that won't last long.
Is it Duck Season or Wabbit Season? Duck Season! I'm surpwised no moron with a shotgun has bwasted your pet mallard out of the sky, Andwoo...
