- Howdy this is the COMPLETE build video of the DW HOBBY Rainbow Flying Wing V1 bought from Banggood.com here bit.lc/3Vdr. ALL the parts used during this build are listed below, press the SHOW MORE button to see them.
As you can tell from the video above, I love flying wings and this one when flown with a light 2S setup is brillant fun. It glides forever and you can do pretty anything with her. Happy days!
The maiden of this new wing will be up on TH-cam in a couple of days, I need the weather to calm down a bit first here in the UK.
MODEL:
DW HOBBY Rainbow 800mm Wingspan EPP Flying Wing RC Airplane KIT bit.lc/3Vdr
HOT GLUE GUN:
This little glue gun is brilliant! It's super cheap and takes 7.1mm glue sticks: goo.gl/bFPRqU
SERVO TESTER:
If you don't have one of these, they come in super handy to check on servos before putting them into your models and of course centering them too goo.gl/sa0hPw
CONTROL HORNS:
As mentioned in the build video of the flying wing, the control horns that come with the model aren't really any good, so instead I used these ones goo.gl/ogkRhV which are miles, miles better.
CARBON FIBER RODS:
I get through soooo much of this stuff in my models goo.gl/M4fwxP.
One small slit with the craft knife, run an end of the rod through, add glue and push in the length of the carbon rod or instant, lightweight support.
CRAFT KNIFE SET:
I can't remember where I got my knife set from, but this set goo.gl/S2p3Yc is similar.
BLUE LOCKTITE:
The threadlock comes in two forms, red & blue. Red is permanent and the blue stuff is semi-permanent so you stand a chance of getting the screw back out later. So you want the blue stuff!
MOTOR:
I use this motor in my baby bonsai flying wing and it's proven to be able to take a complete beating over time goo.gl/NDSqsI.
It's designed for 2S batteries (which is perfect for this flying wing), I have run it on 3S for say 40 flights and while it still works, it's showing signs that I have pushed it too hard.
So keep it to 2S batteries unless you're prepared to treat motors as consumables ;-)
PROP ADAPTER:
The prop saver that comes with the EMAX CF2812 motor is pants, I've never broken a prop yet with a flying wing, so with that in mind grab one of these goo.gl/ODsWgp for about a quid ($2 USD)
SERVOS:
I use the TowerPro MG90S servos in all my smaller models and they ROCK! They're cheaper than the cheap HobbyKing plastic geared ones. They have more torque and have metal gears goo.gl/6M7XDR
Note: See this video for more details • Metal Geared Servos, C... about the Tower Pro servos.
RECEIVER:
I'm using FrSKY, so using a V8R4-II receiver goo.gl/PZZNvT is a no-brainer because it's light, cheap and has 4 channels. We only need 3 for this model, so a great choice.
TRANSMITTER:
Always the Taranis goo.gl/3BRI0s, by far the best transmitter around for the money.
If you're on a budget, then this one goo.gl/FCBQw7 (FlySky FS-i6) is miles cheaper and basically does the same thing.
FPV AIO CAMERA:
If you'd like to fly this wing FPV stlyeeee! Then the Eachine MC01 is a brilliant little camera to use goo.gl/amyuOW.
Note: Do not go for the Eachine MC02 AIO FPV camera, see this video for why • BAD REVIEW Eachine MC0...
SUGGESTED BATTERY:
I'm using a 2s 1000mAh Zippy pack because thats what I have loads of, but to be honest it's a bit big for the model. A battery like this one goo.gl/KVBF8y (JST connector) would be more suitable and fit more nicely.
As always thanks for watching & happy flying,
Matt,

This will be my first wing build, cannot wait. So this is a big help :)
You're a good guy bro, I wish I had someone like you to hobby with.
I've loved each of your videos I've seen. You are a great asset to our hobby! I'm super impressed with how much info you include in the "details" section.
thanks for the build! I've bought 2 of them and one's going to be made into a twin engined pusher. :)
Howdy fella, if you're going to overload the frame, make sure you reinforce the underside so it can take the extra weight. I had to chuck mine off a slope and overpower it to realise it's much better suited to a 2S setup. Hopefully taking her out for her maiden the wing tonight! Matt
will do. ply belly skid ready and a carbon dowel as a mainspar.
do you set the wing up with any reflex?
forget that you've just answered that in the video!
Master Kammelryder :)
I should say i really enjoyed the in depth build video.
Its the way all RC build videos should be done.
Iv just ordered the new Eachine TX01 from banggood because its a bit lighter than the MC02. (Also the TX01 & TX02 are on sale at the moment on banggood)
I nearly went for the 200mw Eachine TX02 but it draws a bit more power so decided to get the TX01 so i can also use it on my Eachine E010 Mini Quad as well.
I love all the new RC gear Banggood are getting in.
Your first video linked on banggood is the reason i purchased this Wing and the reason i found your youtube channel.
You really need to submit this build video to banggood. It should get you loads more subscribers and help people to build there own wings.
Morning Andrew, thank you. That's glad to hear as I was worried about the length of the episode and whether anyone would actually watch it all besides me. I have a 450 quad build that I did a couple of weeks back, but never got around to editing it as I felt it was "too long". Screw it'll I'll edit it up and post it anyway when I get some free time to edit it :) Matt
Thank you homie for your excellent videos, awesome collection of wings!!! +1
Hey matt its paul again . matt i am using a 3s on my set up an i know what you had said about using a2s but at this point i only have 2 , 3sbatterys an i had to do what you said, an that was to cut out a little so that the 3s could fit. i did every step just like you said too on the videos ,i just hope that it comes out fine...i will keep you posted paul
Howdy Paul, I'm really enjoying mine on 2S, try flying about a foot off the ground & super slow, a huge challenge! Let me know how you get on with yours! Matt
EVEN tho it was made 7 yrs ago, still old pHArts like me out there wanting something to mess with🤷♂️🤪😜
Good job Matt, beat me to the build by a few days - I'll try not to glue my fingers together !
Howdy Jason, yea my finger is still hurting, that glue was HOT! Matt
Tip from Flite Test for joining two halfes was to use a big tape to hold the halfes together and then use the tape as a hinge to open the halfes hot glue them and put them together so they are very straight lined up.
Morning fella, I picked that same tip up from Pat too, I made a video on it a while back here th-cam.com/video/wiLY0OJuDKM/w-d-xo.html ANY tips like that do share them, I know I'd find them helpful! Matt
aaaaggggghhhh!!!! Think I am going to have to try this,..... my kits arrived, but no GLUE in it!!!!!! Hope I get it inline!!!!
I usually glue with hot glue. The first flying wing i built did i glue with "uhu por" but i think the joints are not strong enough.
thanks for the video i just got mine,an i just can't wait to start you gave me some good tips an will let you know how it turns out.
Good morning Paul, I flew mine yesterday morning and it was fantastic fun on 2S. Need to pop a bit of velcro in my battery section as I still keep ejecting the battery on the landings :) I'm glad the video helped Paul, Matt
Thanks for the video!
Howdy Ben, glad it helped. Matt
Which propeller are you using?
Great vid, thanks!!! Had one on order from Banggood for about a week, now.. I'm collecting all the other bits I need, now, should be good to go, when the wing gets here!!! Think I will order another, wonder if it would go without the motor pod, & slope soar???? Cheers once again, Fred
Howdy Fred, it should slope soar in light wings OK. I did it in 38 mph wind & almost killed thing thing. See this video th-cam.com/video/VaC1jO7Z5K0/w-d-xo.html at about 3 minutes in. Matt
Dear.
Differences between EDF version and tail push version? Many thanks
Hi Matthew,
During the video, you show us how you use the servo tester ; I've commanded one (it's so cheap ...) and tried it with success ! However, I've used a BEC to make my 2S Lipo voltage converted into 5V because the tester needs a voltage between 4.8 and 6V. It seems as you're plugging your battery directly on the tester, haven't you fried it ?
Howdy Ben, they're handy tool aren't they! As for plugging straight in, yes that's right because I am using 4x 1.2 Nimh batteries, which is 4.8V, hence I can do that. Matt
Thanks :-)
Hi there. That was good entertainment for the evening. My kit turned up in the post this morning. Was very helpful and I learned a bit to. Please can you do a video showing the settings and mixing on your Taranis, obviously for flying wings. I know other people have other make radios, but i am sure this would help us with Taranis radios a lot. It would me anyway. If you do a video on the above, please don't go to quickly with the settings, as it takes a bit of following. Many thanks and i did like. Happy Days. 👍
Howdy Keith, I'm glad the video helped you. Sean got stuck with his Bonsai in the Facebook group & asked if I could make that video for him. It's already up on YT but not been published yet, soooo with that in mind the Facebook group is here facebook.com/groups/ragthenutsoff/ or if Faceballs isn't your thing, see the video directly here th-cam.com/video/bX9n04xgegM/w-d-xo.html Matt
Mega thanks for the replie. Had a look at the other video, and i am a happy chappy now, i can get my Taranis set up. Really will help. Putting my pusher, rainbow together tonight. FPV with MC01 camera. K.
hi dear ,pls guide me , is this fly wing is good for indoor ? also i have emax cf 2812 motor , can i use this motor ? want to fly indoor , you look expert in fly wing , pls guide me .
Too big & fast for inside
I'm waiting for mine to arrive, BG sent it without track so it can be a month or more wait:( Do you have any idea already whats difference between this and V2? and have you seen already another DW wing with tracker prop BG have for around $40 that looks a lot different from most modern wings?
Howdy fella, I have the V2 on the way to me at the moment, I'll let you know what it's like!
Just curious, would i have any problem flying a 2200 kv motor with a 30amp esc?
Howdy, that really does depend upon the motor, battery & propeller. So assuming a 2205/2204 sized motor with a 6x4 or smaller prop, yep you should be fine, but do check to see what the max current draw is on the batter, motor & prop combo. Hope that helps! Matt
I did the same thing with the wooden motor mount.
Stupidly tight fit. I had to use a mini file to open it up.
Morning Andrew, great minds think alike! Yea I just trimmed mine out with a knife, failing that the dirty hack tool (the dremel) would do the same job :) Matt
Is that CF2812 or CF2805? It looks like 2805 so it might be typo in description.
Howdy it should be a CF2805 motor, they brillant on 2S. Hope that helps :) Matt
How is there throttle? You dont have a ESC, (electronic speed controller) what esc did you use?
Howdy fella, oh I didn't list that. I used a 20A ESC for this model, complete overkill, but worked great! Matt
Howdy Matt, Did you just use small wood screews to mount the motor to the plywood firewall ? Kind regards and keep them coming
Howdy Garry, I did indeed. Just some spare servo screws :) Matt
Hi Matthew, thank you for your video ! You made my work easier and my first flight yesterday was quite good ! The pitch was not sufficient enough so I had to trim it before testing it today, and this time it was pure fun ! 360°, rolls, and inverted flight (not too long :-) ) was so nice ! I had to put my battery at the bottom front (with "scratch") because the old batteries I wanted to use were "dead" (voltage sag I guess, lack of power after 1 or 2 minutes), and the other one were too big to fit ...
Can you tell me what the Reptile S800 will have more than that wing that could incite me to test it ??? Speed ? Agility?
See you ;-)
Hello, do you know where I could fin a transmitter setting file for this wing ? It's my first wing and I don't know how to set my Walkera Devo10 ... Since there are only 2 servos, I guess that I need to apply the same control to both when I want to gain or loose altitude (of course having sufficient speed), and that I need to apply an opposite force to them when I want to turn left or right, is it ok ??? On the planes I own, there is always a specific servo at the back for pitch with respect to the two servos for roll ...
Howdy Ben, I have no idea with a Devo10, however see this video so you get an idea for how it should work with a wing th-cam.com/video/bX9n04xgegM/w-d-xo.html (and this one for the movements only th-cam.com/video/pxChyIvHbvU/w-d-xo.html ), Matt
Thank you very much Matthew, your first video confirmed my initial impression ! I'll be able to do the same kind of mixing on my devo, no doubt about that, right now I only have the wing and still waiting for the motor :-)
Matt great video, how would it go with 3s, too heavy do you think?
Howdy John, A smaller 3S pack, say 850mAh or less would fit in the nose without much trouble. I've kept mine to 2S and it's great fun. Matt
I was going to use it for fpv flying so don't really care if it fly's heavy. I was going to order the V2 and use carbon tube as I found in my last wing it works better then the strip.
I had a super fly delta 700mm which was designed to run on 3s with a 1000mah so I thought this being 1000mm it would be right to run a fair bit more weight.
Why is it that all the EPO wings are designed to run heavier equipment with similar sized wings, has it got to do with EPO being stiffer?
ESC and prop specs? Could you share?
Howdy Diego, just under the video press the "SHOW MORE" text and the full specifications are in the video description for you Diego :) Matt
Great video Matt! Where in the UK can you buy Goop glue?
Morning, eBay for about £9.75 ish. Get the plumbing stuff & also use it outside as it wreaks!! Hope that helps :) Matt
Morning, in short eBay! See here www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182286373143
is there a spicific goop glue model you recomend?
Howdy Elijah, yes the plumbing version or as an alternative, E6000. Hope that helps Elijah, Matt
k thank
RagTheNutsOff // E6000 is gold... its so bad ass of a glue, that Gorilla glue bottle says on the outside, "similar to E6000", not the other way around.
Hi Matt , just watched one of your videos were you said £50 is your limit to spend on a model , best of luck with that mate lol . I do believe this was my intention to , and it has not gone to plan . O by the way , we were talking about FPV cameras for mini quads , I think it was the f797 you had said was a good camera but was a little expensive , so I bought the Nano Skyhunter with the EFO1 camera . I shall let you now how both the camera and the plane perform mate . All the best .....
Howdy Scott, yea the EF01 is apparently pretty good, very jealous on the nano sky hunter! I looked at getting one but the shipping was FAR too expensive. Let me know how she goes when you get her! Matt
Hi Matt , I did the median on the Skyhunter nano today mate , in about 15mph wind and she flew great , and that little camera works really well to Matt , I done the high and low light test and it performed very well . Defiantly a winner mate . All the best ........
+Scott Thompson Happy days Scott!
if you ever come to newport flying give me a shout
Howdy Matt, hey that's just over the bridge from Bristol! Matt
yer mate i like to fly.
I live in newport, do you still fly? i build racing drones but looking at getting my first fixed wing
matt so sorry i just viewed your video again an seen that you did say something about the angle so sorry .
Howdy Paul, see this video th-cam.com/video/bX9n04xgegM/w-d-xo.html and this one th-cam.com/video/pxChyIvHbvU/w-d-xo.html I think I cover this in the first one. Definitely put a healthy amount of up in them, not so much so that it loops in-front of you, but a decent amount! Matt
