Well I knew everything couldn't have completely clicked I forgot to fomat the SD card in my HatCam so I only got the first minute or so of the flight just up till takeoff so I tacked it on the beginning of the video. The inflight video turned out not too bad there was a little jello in spots but not bad. Im impressed with the spear it was a whole different experience then the little FT ARROW with the gyro it tracked almost dead straight and being larger its much easier to SEE! I have to give this one credit were it is due Josh Bixler did another great job designing this one and its the first flying wing that I have flown. youtu.be/Xa5jfkBifrM |

Nice job! Great flight my friend, you floated that in nicely at the end, Alright I think I will try a wing in the near future. Really nice spot where you were.

Looked pretty smooth, how high did you have to calibrate with the up pitch on the nose up to get it to fly level. I had to do that to do about 5 degrees on the mig. If I build a FT wing, this one will be it. |

Yup about 5 degrees I laid the plane flat on the ground and then rested the nose on my leg as I sat cross legged and plugged in the lipo to the ESC and waited for everything to calibrate . Some of the bobbling around was me over controlling and switching from stabilize to gyro and normal mode. Stabilize really limits your roll and pitch athority but it keeps everything smooth and stable when I watched the video I didn't realize I was over flying the trees if I had lost power then I would have been up a tree.from my perspective I was clear of the trees.all in all I'm happy with the way things turned out.

I don't think you would go wrong with this wing its easy to build and fly and the high lift airfoil shape generates a ton of lift . I was really impressed with the glide angle it comes down on about 35 to 45 degrees and it dosnt want to stall mind you the gyro helped to how can you go wrong the plans are free!

Glad it worked out for you. The pid gains aren't adjustable so you are taking a gamble on whether they work on your plane or not. Works great on the mig, not so much on the dart. Although if it bounces too much, you can always mechanically dial down your servo throws, I had to do that on my dolphin, even with gyro correction at the lowest setting, I had to manually lower the gains by moving the servo linkages, although it is pretty default that I put them on the next to furthest out, sometimes that backfires. I thought they allowed 70 degrees banking and like 45 degrees in pitch. |

Yup 70degrees bank and 45 pitch I guess that's why when I setup to land it came down at about 45 degrees.
