Review by: John Harmon
Most fun I’ve had with a small glider!It seems to do everything well and turned out great. The kit is very nicely made but slightly more difficult to assemble than expected. The servo mount shown in the videos isn’t included in the kit so you have to fabricate your own, but this is easily accomplished using some of the spare stock. Make sure to use a lightweight covering to prevent over shrinking the wing since the trailing edge side can be fragile. The BMS-101DMG servos fit perfect barely clearing the bottom of the wing. Anything wider will require some additional planning. I wish it came with a full-size plan but that would probably just increase the price.
AUW came in at 123g. Instead of the recommended equipment, I used some leftover components in the build and was very happy with how it all works together. Here is my setup:
Motor EMAX 1106-KV4500 with Graupner CAM 4.7×2.3 prop & VM 25mm Spinner for 11xx Motors
Rcvr Lemon DSMX Diversity LM0034Z
ESC MX-12A
Servo 2 x Blue Bird BMS-101DMG
