Description
 
This great-flying airplane is optimized for typical urban flying conditions: gusty winds, small flying spaces, and rough landing spots. Unlike most beginner planes, the Flying Wing has a 1:1 thrust-to-weight ratio that makes it highly maneuverable.

As seen in Make: Volume 30.

From Brooklyn Aerodrome.

First of ten videos offering step-by-step instructions.
Features
  • Highly maneuverable - can fly in tight spaces and turbulence, and even carry a camera.

    Detachable deck - airframe is durable, but repairs are simple and the airframe can be easily replaced.

From what I can tell, if you washed up on a desert island with this kit, a knife, and a car battery (for running the LiPo charger), you could be flying within a few hours.

4/5 Stars: kit looks comprehensive, but price is too high.

What's included November 26, 2012
Reviewer: Cory from Grayling, MI United States  
I'd like to know what's included with this kit and what I'd need to purchase separately in order to build and fly this project.

welcome to the skies June 25, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from MA, United States  
I liked the article, but the kit sold me.

It is different from the article, so go on-line and sync up.

The build was enjoyable, took the better part of a day.

It is fairly complete but lacks a 12V brick for using the battery charger in your house and deserves a "companion kit" with another battery, airframe, and more propellers.

I have never flown RC airplanes before and need more practice in a simulator.

It should come with two airframes. Fanfold doesn't come in small packages.

The deck so far seems unharmed. The battery, took much of the punishment over two sessions.

When you build something like this from insulation and tape, you feel empowered to repair, and enhance the thing.

I would definitely recommend this. I enjoyed building it, and I enjoyed crashing it. Soon I hope to enjoy flying it!
