Great evening flying. Finished up with the explorer. Looks like it is flying nice! What battery did it take to get the thing to balance out? I ended up using a 3S 4500 MAH. I may revisit it as I have a few 4S 4000s. Were you flying FPV or did you just have a camera up there? I don't even remember you mentioning building an explorer, maybe you did and I am just forgetful. |

I've had this explorer for almost a year and am on wing #4. This wing is a longer sport wing with flaps, power off it flies like a glider. It balances with a 3s 1800 and still gets pretty good flight times. No FPV just a Runcam strapped to the top.

I had a hard time getting mine to balance. |

I wish I had a secret I could share but I just followed the plans and build instructions. All built with hot glue and wasn't careful about that. Sorry. It's ok. It was one of my earlier builds, who knows what I did. Most importantly, yours flies great! I did an armin wing on mine, it was a 60" sport wing with a carbon spar because I had heard of wings snapping. I am about to test an el cheapo FPV system, I'll let you know how it works out. I am going to do the sparrow 2 semi trash FC and a 600mw AIOish vtx on the floaterjet. I may give the FC away when I am done playing with it. |
