Plane Kit Deals/Sales

[Burkeomatic]

I think ratcheeroo  droneflyer200 or Mr NCT had said that if I saw decent deals on something to post it up, specifically FPV planes.. I don't remember if we had one of these or not.

This is $70 shipped, I actually just got one. 

The talon version is allegedly a little more efficient but a tiny more twitch at the same price.

They both take a 1300kv "C pack" motor, so you probably already have one laying around. 

This is either on sale or seems to have dropped in price, the swordfish. If I get one, it will probably be a LOS flyer. It takes a couple of quad motors.

I started drawing up the Swordfish a couple weeks ago, almost ready with those plans just working out how I want to do the nacelles. All the parts for the Tunnan are cut and ready to go, so Swordfish will be after that.

Ahh the swordfish does look like it would be good to adapt for dtfb design.

Pulled the trigger on the Zohd Drift PNP FPV version. I think, you never know exactly what you are getting from Banggood. The title says PNP FPV version but we will see. If it is then it comes with an AIO and the Kopilot thing. If not I have those things covered. My goggles are still in transit, lets see which arrives first. Still eyeballing the one Myles bought, see a lot of good things about most of the Zohd planes.

I had the drift for a while. It is a decent flyer, it may very well be your style, it just wasn't that great with the wind.  

The thrust angle needs a little work I think, a couple of thin washers under the bottom of the motor should do it. I ended up selling mine for $80 with all the FPV stuff in it. The ZOHD Kopilot is exactly like the sparrow FC. The little AIO camera does give you a decent enough HUD to know your voltage. You don't need to worry about amps on it. You can't even smoke the motor with 3s and the big prop, or you couldn't on the dart 250. 

I guess I have a dart 1500 now lol. 

Banggood is about the shiestiest place to buy stuff from as far as return policy. Literally all I ever buy from them is discounted kits on clearance these days.
