Well the FT Mini Arrow is no more!

[droneflyer200]

Well I had my first fly away and crash today with the Mini Arrow I just couldn't get it dial in and stable and it got out too far and I lost orientation with the thin out line of a tiny flying wing . I lost control and it spiraled into a line of trees and out of sight. I looked for and could get a signal from the receiver and know the general area it is in but I doubt I will find it until winter. I just couldn't get the elevons working reliably . Oh well I built 9 planes this winter and have been able to get most of them to fly and fly well so I guess Losing one is par for the course. I guess the little racing wing was just too much for my old eyes and reflexes.
Im not going to give up just hope the FT Spear its bigger bother flies better.

If you want a cheap FC that works well on wings, you could do worse than getting one of these.

As a bonus, it has geofencing or return to home. So you can fly in manual or stabilized mode, and if you lose sight or orientation click it to RTH and it will come right back to you.

I was kind of leery to try and put a gyro in the arrow it was so small and cramp but I have one in the FT spear I have two of these gyros and I have seen video of guys using these on flying wings

The elevons on the spear seem to work properly  but on the arrow I seem to get more movement one then the other.

that works, i like the RTH function if you get disoriented, it is a one button failsafe. It has saved me a few times LOS.
