- Chill and watch as I build and then fly a HeeWing F-01 high speed wing!
This video took over a month to create, so if you enjoyed it please give it a like :)
I technically built this wing for free. I used RUclips revenue to buy the wing itself, and then kitted it out with spare electronics I had lying around. I also used a BETAFPV ELRS kit that they kindly sent me for free. You can get the kit from here:

I made a small mistake in the video at 8:38 I used the 5" prop for flying at high speed. The 6" prop was for endurance flying. Also used the 6" prop for the VTOL
This a cool and way more than a toy if used for surveillance of one’s property.
Tell me what kind of range are you getting? …and for a recon mission? …how about in areas with partially heavy forestation?…any options with thermal cameras and or starlight cams?
I would like to invest in a First person perspective drone for both the fun of flying as well as as sweep of my property. It is mostly flat land (45 miles west of the Chicago limits… with a large clear space that is about one mile by 3 miles roughly oval and a few more heavily forested. I would also really like to fly a pattern manually and be able to send it off to repeat that recon sweep autonomously.
What do you suggest?
@@robertwalsh5461 You could do all that with this wing, although there's definitely better options. A mini Skyhunter would be my suggestion. You can get very long flight times with that (over and hour with the right batteries), and it would easily be able to carry things such as a thermal camera. As for your last question, any drone that's equipped with a GPS unit and a flight controller running INAV firmware would be able to do autonomous flights/fly a pre-determined pattern.
@@gizfpv any video coming soon about the siyi hm30 hd system, I just order one with the hdmi converter, I built a homemade fpv cockpit with a 50" screen, I think the siyi hm30 will do great with my setup check it out and let me know what you think
Pyo
@@sub_idiljin9038 sorry what? lol
Wow it stays really well locked in at 400ft !
Amazing the accuracy we achieve now with technology
I know right. It's like magic 😅
The air layers are very calm at 400ft... I have detected the same phenomena with my DJI drone 😉
Really great of you to document and share this, excellent idea, great approach. Thank you for helping fellow RC pilots!!
I like a lot how you made this video. Super useful. It doesn’t seem the slipperiest design given the blunt front end the thickness overall and all the things on the surfaces disrupting airflow.
I hope they didn't charge much for that wing. You basically built that up from scratch. I have a ton of respect for your building capability and knowledge but sometimes these hobby shops get away with highway robbery.
Yeah I gotta admit, it's not really a 'PNP' model, despite being advertised as one. I technically didn't pay anything for it (used RUclips revenue to buy it) but it wasn't too expensive anyway :)
I totally agree with you, that is only 50cents of foam😢 the author could make it himself especially since he did 99% of the build😅
Thats a tidy build and the internal bay looked great with your custom 3d prints in, might grab one myself as i have a spare microvector that would drop in nicely. Great vid.
Another freaking awesome video, love watching them all!
Beautiful build. Thanks for sharing and all the editing.
Thankyou. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank You for the detail and the 3D print files link!
I was waiting for someone to review this wing. Thank heavens 🙌🏾🙌🏾😭😭
I love your build videos, Thank You 👍
Great build video - thanks for sharing !
Thanks for sharing this, loved it.
You're welcome :)
Woah, cool build dude! Really dig the video quality and editing as well, a lot of people don't appreciate how much effort and skills it takes ;)
Cheers man. Yeah, editing takes sooo long. Especially when you wanna sync 300 clips to music and add a hundred overlays lol
Wow, so amazing
Really cool, thank's for sharing 👍
Glad you liked it 😊
perfect build and flight💯👍👍
i absolutely love all your videos thank you sir!!
I'm glad you like them 🙂
Thanks for sharing the .stl files, extremely useful
You're welcome
Yo! So cool! It feels perfect when you just slot the part in to the 3d printed part so gracefully. Great work!
It really does :)
Have you tried the antenna menace make? Its flat to the surface almost with a nice streamlined cover over it, i put one between the landing skids on my AR900!
So much more speed to gain here with small tweaks. Very nice product
I absolutely agree. Few tweaks and maybe a upgraded motor would have this thing flying rapid
Impressive wing. IT seems to fly like it's on rails.
Once I sorted out the elevon linkages, yeah it really did! :D
This video so much fun do more keep up the good work
That was bad ass bro!! Been flying freestyle quads for 4 years now. Not much experience with analog but I was very impressed with the lack of breakup and nice video quality man! Just shows that if you choose the correct parts analog can be sweet! The wing was a really clean build btw dam!!
Cheers man! Yeah a decent analogue setup can work really well. My current setup will get me miles and miles of range if I wanted. Cost a fair bit initially to set up, but worth it in the long run :)
Excellent build man!
Thanks man :)
Dang, that's fast!😊
Cool solution! 😎👍
Been in this hobby longer than I would like to admit but finally picked up a pair of crimpers and WOW they are awesome, I hated soldering to these boards!
Haha, yeah have a pair of crimpers and some crimps makes builds so much easier and also so much cleaner. Defo worth having :)
Hey man, nice editing. Really enjoyed the vid, thanks
Cheers man, glad you liked it :)
Great job as always brother.
Cheers man :)
Great build video, nice tidy plane. Like the pad take off at the end 👍🏻
Thanks man 😊
@@gizfpv Video popped up, thought I would have a look. Great style 👍🏻
Esta chingon!
Con el fpv se ve súper
Thanks :)
Impressive!
Love how the GPS drops nicely into the FC mount at 4:55. 😉 Assume you did one massive raid on the spares box, then came up with a strategy. Always learn a few tidbits from watching your well edited content. The use of 3d-printed camera mount (5:18) that glues in vs. gluing in the camera is really thinking outside the spares box. Makes for easy recovery, or swap-out in future. ♥😎
Regarding the speed and weight (12:31), generally heavier planes will achieve better performance at higher speeds. I'd suggest checking propeller speed (RPM vs. pitch). Beside propeller, you might check speed claim to see what battery was used. A higher voltage would provide more power (provided ESC and electronics support).
A coat of turtle wax (🐢) could make it a be more slick (just kidding). BTW: one thing I noticed is the 3d-prints for VTx and Rx appears to have a lip, which could act like a spoiler; particularly as close to leading edge of wing. If had be placed further back, they'd be behind laminar separation point and have less effect (but would be in area where foam not as thinks. Tradeoffs)
One extra you could try is printing servo covers that add an aero shroud to cover elevon pushrods and horn). Know would not be stock, but it might enable getting the most Hee out of that Wing. Alternatively trying high speed passes inverted might have an alternate limiting speed. (never know, that fine print in claims, etc).
Cool build 👍 that sucker MOVES for a foamy. I need one!
Do itttt 😋
Really great
Thanks :)
When you use uhu-por just apply thin layer to both sides and wait 5 minutes (spread the glue). After that join parts together and done - glued instantly.
Nice little screenshot of Bruce/RCModelreviews. A true pioneer for our hobby.
Absolutely :)
I'm from Brazil and i like yours projets, good Job !
Thank you 😊
Clean build. Nice vtol at the end. I'm sure they will add that to the listing :)
Great vid - lots of effort in the edit, and it shows 👍
Thankyou :)
Bro thanks a bunch. I've seen countless videos that wasted my time. I just wished I would of seen yours first!!!! Thanks again.
Glad you liked it :)
Very nice!
Much better luck than I had. I bought the Ripper R690 which is about the same. Didn't fly as good but was still crazy fast and had lots of grins 😁
From what I understand, the Ripper is basically the same aircraft as the HeeWing? Just different colour foam and different colour LED's? I would have thought it would have flown just as well. These things are legit fast though, even if I didn't get it over 220kph like I hoped lol
Excellent video !
Thank you :)
Wow cool flight my new friend☺👌 excellent build😃👊👍
Thank you 😊
I don't think I will ever take the time to build and put together things like you have shown in your video. Haven't done building RC models probably for, let me just say, a LONG TIME :) Just more enjoy operating then putting together or building. BUT I MUST SAY, Really enjoyed your video and it is very informative..... Very informative. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it bro :)
how lovely the grass was
This is my first rc fpv plane.. I didn't know it was built for speed because I bought it from Amazon, and it was advertised as "fpv wing flying wing rc plane wing rc flying wing fun beginners." Gotta love the Chinese. I put a MATEK fc, gps, long range vtx in it, and I'm setting it up to fly itself the best I can, and I've crashed it twice.
Trial by fire damnit, I'm not giving up lol.
great video!
Loved the build and the bonus footage. 💯💚💚💚🔥 With a proximity sensor, you could use it to mow lawns! 🤦♂️😂🤣😂
Haha you literally could 😅
Thank you for sharing of this great video!
I have the diatone Ripper 690 and I can’t wait to build mine.
Best regards
Joschi aka 1ronm4n ✌️
Nice. The Ripper is basically the same wing, just a different colour. Should fly just as well. Enjoy :)
That flight computer is sick :D
Very cool stuff
Thanks 😊
Nice!
You have a very well equipped spares box :D
I would imagine the lost 20 kph from claimed top speed is due to the FPV antenna and the other holes cut out for the 3d printed mounts causing drag. But man that thing is an awesome build.
Yeah I'd agree. At some point I may try an embedded antenna and see if it makes much difference
@@gizfpv Also, more height-less drag... Keep it in mind :D
@@EXTREMERULES2009ify also less air for the prop to push🤦♂️ for jets yes altitude, but for small props thats not the best thing to do
@@OGDragonflare Also less air for a jet engine to burn its fuel with, resulting in less thrust. Jets are not flying with rocket engines.
The gain in speed is higher than the loss of thrust the props can provide, even if its just a litlle, the difference decrease with altitude so above a certain altitude the maximum airspeed will decrease but the maximum ground speed won't deacrease as fast and not from the same altitude. He should also fly in the same heading as the wind is going to fly faster (not relative to the air tho), that's even more true with those small planes as they are very light so the wind has a huge effect on them, compared to heavier and bigger planes.
@@AlphaDragons60 Altitude has to match the drag, the prop, the pitch, the motor/battery, the humidity and the air density, everything is a tradeoff :)
Excellent vid man... I missed this one (and my guest appearance!):-D :-D
Your praise is a high honour sir 😁and I'm sure your cameo appearence is what's helped make this video so successful :p
superb
Giz FPV: HI! what to say man... I just forgot "using fast forward" watching your video. I think when your passion vs detailed dedication for the craft clearly show in this video, i think everyone will be stunned to see the easiest way of knowing about circuits, RC plane & remote. I just awestruck second by second with the circuit 💫 pictures and connections detailing. Well done brother 👍. I am a pharmacist, i don't know about anything regarding your stuff but i never fast forwarded your videos while watching. Watched till end. With lots of love from ANDHRA PRADESH INDIA 🇮🇳. ✈ ✋
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and learned a little along the way too :)
Glad to see your still building analogue instead of going dji like most others, cant afford to buy a new set up of goggles then air units for my builds! Also that music you use on your vids is great,lol!
Hopefully heewing might send you a ranger now you did them proud with alternative build for this kit,makes sense for them buisness wise to have us all catered for in these builds and yours is only one i saw going analog so far.
For sure man! I have tried the DJI fpv system, and it is cool, but it's way overpriced. I don't mind paying a 1 off expense for goggles, but I don't wanna be spending a fortune on air units for each build I do too. If a cheaper alternative (possibly Orqa) comes on the market I may get involved with HD fpv, but for the time being i'm happy with good old fashioned analogue.
And funny enough, Heewing have sent me a Ranger! I haven't built it yet though, it's my next project....after I finish my current one :p
@@gizfpv going HD or staying analog for us die hards(tightwads! Lol!).
Awesome!!
Thanks :)
Your official now. Getting free gear to test😏😏😎
Cool bro!
Thanks!! 😊
Amazing video which also happens to showcase the ridiculous barrier to entry in this fpv hobby still. So much 3d printing and soldering. Imagine being an RC beginner watching this wondering how you are going to get by.
You can buy pre-built stuff. It's just more expensive, so hobbyists don't.
I doubt a "beginner" would get into fpv and flying wings so early...
Lets hear it for the spares box!! 😄
The spares box is my wallet's best friend lol
Wow you flew 400ft consistently the whole flight even when you landed. That's impressive :D
Damm right. Pure skill yo :P
Noice build
Thanks 😊
Love the altitude display ha ha
Its insane how those foamy planes evolved in a few years
Subbed immediately.. Awesome content!!!!!!
Thankyou! :)
Use nail clippers to take the hangers off of your fingers. Changed my life. No pain and nothing to catch on anymore.
Penso che questo sia migliore della Air-Wing 900 che ho scelto . Meglio di materiali e strutturalmente 💪
Nice and clean build I like it. I purchased one and now I'm thinking about the GPS location. I will use an M100 "modern" GPS, so is it easy to fix satellites with the GPS inside the fuselage or should I put in a wing like many other builds? Thank you.
Very nice build video. Did you also try the 5x5 prop? It might get a little faster with that one. I am building mine at the moment, so thanks for the information and perfect timing :)
Yes I did tried both the 5 and the 6" prop. I used the 5" for the VTOL at the end of the video :)
Haha, nice build!!
Nice build ;)
Thanks! :)
very good work 👍😉💪
Thank you 😊
Best wing 👍👍👍👍
cleanest build of heewing. Lol mine is a messy build but i was able to do 213kmph on this. still do not want to do FPV until i get a tiny ELRS system and a good FPV System
If it looks messy but it works then it's all good 😂 crazy you flew it so fast without fpv though! Mad skills
@@gizfpv yes thats the point that it works. and i am a LOS guy, so i love flying Line of sight. it goes out of my eye sight range just too quick where i lose orientation and i have to rely on my inner judgements and turn it to come for a dive. From your video i saw that you are easily cruising at 100kmph or more. you can go places with a good FPV System my friend. very neat and clean build. keep them coming
Hey Giz, just discovered your channel. Niceley presented video. Tempted to get one of these wings! I did make a fast little dart 250 a while ago, I think this could be its replacement!
Thanks man. Yeah it's a great little wing, I don't think you'd be disapointed with it :)
Nice
what a organized and clean build !!!! just beautiful !! what tool have you used for crimping cables ?? it`s great. link maybe where you can get it from ??
Thankyou :) The tool is simply called a 'crimping' tool. You can find them online easily. Amazon sells them, as do Hobbyking
Great video, I ordered the wing today (PNP pro version). Do you put the STL files in with Thingiverse? That would be very nice of you. Sincerely, Frank.
I wish my spares box was that stacked with goodies!
Haha, mine is mostly full of crap, just happened to have a few decent parts going spare on this one occasion lol
Hey Giz, i just found your channel and am so glad! One question, which one you reccomend for best stable flight high speed cruising long range distance? The AR wing pro, the HeeWing F-01 or the nano drag? Or maybe the TBS caiprinha 2 ? Thanks in advance!!
The Nano Drak, definitely! The TBS Caipirinha is also a good aircraft, but is really hard to launch
@Giz FPV Thanks for the tutorial. What would you recommend for a flying wing for novices?
If you're a complete novice, get a Zohd Dart PNP kit. It's a nice small low power wing that requires minimal assembly. If you have a little building experience however go for a S800. Bit of a bigger wing, and requires some assembly, but its almost indestructible so very forgiving if you're likely to crash a lot :)
Great Presentation
Questions Please
I would like to build a high speed autonomous FPV drone that can travel over 100 miles at the speed shown
in this video with additional payload using Pixhawk or nav flight controller
1. Do I need to enlarge the wingspan and add additional battery?
what would be the formula and/or parameters ??
wow! there was a lot of setup on that transmitter. Could you show what you need to do on your setup when having a new plane like this? I have no idea what you did
i love the 400 ft altitude XD
That music is just chilling
do u know name of this music?
@@ilyafedorov2144 no
@@vrashabhsontakke7282 I need this very hard, help me pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ilyafedorov2144 me too, just ask Google what song is this and play the music so that google can hear it. Give it a try and let me know
cool to see the build process,
wouldn't be better to use slimmer cables on the xt60? the motor takes all that energy and has much thinner cables, seems you could use thinner cables on the battery too.
Nice build, what crimping tool did you use for your connections? Can you recommend one?
Have a look on Hobbyking. The one I used is the same one they sell 😊
I've been building & flying quad for years, but now its time to head over to the dark side and build some FPV wings. HeeWing is my first build.
Never built with foam before, and have lots of questions about glue selection [hot or thick CA], laminate or not, etc. Is there a good source for basic stuff like this?
Yes, my channel 😂 But there's several other good channels out there. Off the top of my head there's Andrew Newton, Arxanglerc, adamgdoesfpv, bonefidepirate, rcmodelreviews, flitetest and painless360. You'll also find there's various good Facebook groups worth looking at, such as the inav fixed wing group, long range hooligans and the HeeWing official fpv community.
As for your specific questions, in my opinion the best glue to use is Uhu Por as it's strong and flexible (and cheap) although hotglue and CA also work (however CA will melt some kinds of foam). And as for laminate that's really down to personal preference. It does add a bit of strength to a aircraft and does look nicer, however if you're a careful pilot and not likely to crash often it's probably not something you'll want to waste time doing
I learned something. I didn’t think that loose pitch horns/control links would cause that much movement (makes perfect sense). I bet most of my planes have that to varying degrees.
TBH I didn't really expect it to make that much difference either, but as you saw it clearly does. Don't get why they made those top holes on the horns so big. Least it was an easy fix
I know near nothing about RC but the vid is so clear on what you're doing (even the floating labels for the contacts!) Dang. Plus, you can fly them that fast???? What the most fun thing to do with those ultra fast ones?
Thanks man! Most fun things to do with high speed RC planes is fly them low to the ground whilst weaving through tree gaps, or chase them with other RC aircraft :)
That square nose looks like it would knock a lot of top speed off
Yeah you'd think so, but apparently not 🤷♂️
What motor and esc was used in this build?
Very nice build. It is so smooth when you have the talent, the spares and the right tools ;) talking about tools: what crimping tool are you using? Thanks :)
It's a crimp tool I got online. Ebay and amazon sell them
maybe try to shape the mounts for the servo's a bit more aerodynamic with some sandpaper and the antenna too or put it behind the canard/pulltab in the middle of the craft, also maybe put some laminate over the plastic trays for the antenna's
