You are a good narrator!
that would be good paired with the new ELRS PWM reciever. No Flight Controller needed
Its going to sound great! I just recently built an EDF foamboard plane, similar style to this one and it has become my most enjoyable plane/wing to fly
Can’t wait for your first flight!
ZOHD maybe has every category covered. But they do miss a capable „normal“ plane with „t-tail“ flaps and all that goodness.
Yes, they've done some truly cutting edge aircraft, leading the way with producing easy to assemble models. But I agree, they would be on to a winner if they put those techniques into what we would describe as a "normal" plane.
I like it! Thanks for the review! I love the Alpha Strike so I really need this. Looking forward to your maiden!
Zohd kopilot system would probably fit in there nicely, you’d have return to home and stability modes would make it a nice cruiser, and with the fpv module it would be a great long distance flyer. It also looks very nice too.
I don't think it would make a good long distance flier, depending on what your definition of "long distance" is. EDF's are highly inefficient, they just SUCK down the power, an you can't really do a Li-Ion batt pack in them because they suck up so much juice.
Looking forward to your first flight. Hope the weather accommodates!
Flew mine for the first time today. 5 flights. My first ever flying wing. 2200 4s zippy compact and cog at bang on 65mm. Throws exactly as manual with 2mm up from neutral on elevons. Surprisingly easy hand launches at 70 percent throttle. 50 percent expo made flying controllable and glides in smoothly for landing. Only flew on two thirds throttle cause I scare easily. Was very pleasantly surprised for my first flying wing as I expected a much worse outcome. Hope this helps. Andy in uk.
Hi Andy, thanks for that. Actually really helpful as we are playing with this model for a flight setup video at the moment. I've also found that there isn't enough of a tube behind the EDF so you loose some of the power. If you add just a 1" extension it can add about 10% more thrust making it a lot more efficient. Happy flying!
I've had my eyes on this plane and it's sister for a few months now lol. Such a cool looking plane. I'm going to wait until I can fly a little better until I buy one.
I'm not a fan of either of them. There are better flying options for the money... Happy flying
Looks good, I'll be waiting to see it fly.
id love to test that with the crazy aggressive birds over my house sometimes. i wonder if its impervious to all the hawks and blue Jays because the prop is hidden..
It would be safer for wildlife with no exposed blades - the EDF noise would help too ;)
@@Painless360 I’d love to know the reason you gave up on this plane since mine are clear: UNFLIABLE plane ( at least for my capabilities)
i feel the one down side is if the motor burns up there is nothing else that can be used atleast on the alpha strike you can switch motors to what ever you want i have been into speed here lately i dont fly far just fast
Very interesting Lee, looking forward to the flight test!
Fantastic review, Lee! 😃
I don't know if they read some of my comments asking for an EDF version, but thanks a lot, ZOHD! 😃
But yeah... The lack of space for a flight controller is a real bummer... 😕
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
With the battery at the back of the bay, fit the FC at the front ???
@@stevietee10 that would make it impossible to balance the weight in the CG. 😕
I'm about to share some images of the build here with Patreons. It isn't as 'roomy' as some other models for sure! :D
@@MCsCreations 12:55 ??
Looks great. Not a lot of space inside but I think you could still manage to put a fc inside like the matek f411.
i guess everyone is waiting for the go ahead from zohd to do a flight video i cant wait to see the speed on this jet
Pan & tilt on a fast, manuverable, "manual" model should be interesting. 🙂
Looks good though. Just a shame I'm not (and won't be 🇬🇧) registered.
I have wanted a Zohd for a while but they are a little to big for where I fly. This one however would be perfect!!!! Its now on my X Mas list!!!!
я Начинающий!!! Чайник!))) После таких ПРОСМОТРОВ!! "чешутся руки" так хочется попробовать собрать такую КРАСОТУ!! Спасибо что предупредили об уровне подготовки пилота. Но обязательно сделаю и научусь летать. ТРУДИСТЕСЬ!! на благо просвещения. Очень эффектно выглядит двигательная установка в корме да еще закрытая )) Чистого неба и 1000000 на 1000000 видимости I'm a Beginner!!! Kettle!))) After such VIEWS!! "my hands are itching" so I want to try to collect such BEAUTY!! Thank you for warning me about the pilot's level of training. But I will definitely do it and learn to fly. WORK HARD!! for the benefit of enlightenment. The propulsion system in the stern looks very impressive, and even closed)) Clear sky and 1000000 to 1000000 visibility !))👍😜
Я бы не рекомендовал это для новичка. Это не очень хороший самолет EDF, есть много вариантов получше. Смотрите мой плейлист с неподвижным крылом и видео, предназначенные для новых пилотов. Удачи!
As an efficiency/endurance chaser, EDFs are the worst choice. BUT this one looks really gorgeous! For the field... But, I'm almost never at the field... Damn it ^^
Thanks for the video.
For me, this particular model just misses all the marks for use as an FPV plane. Having the pan servo where it is, the lack of internal space for flight controller and even worse the poor access into the area where one might put a flight controller, even a small one like the F411-WSE.
Being EDF is the last straw if I'm honest, I guess it could be fun and there will be lots of people who'll be happy to fly an FPV EDF, but flight time will be short in comparison to a regular motor/prop combo.
I noticed also, the servo wires just go straight through the internal air ducts, from ZOHD who've been great at designing their planes in the past, I would have expected the servo wires to at least loop over or under the air ducts.
I hope that once ZOHD are happy they have filled this gap in their line-up they go back and improve some of the older classics too... Still waiting for a Dart V3 that can support modern electronics easily for example..
This edf unit makes far less noise that the Push Prop ZOHDs - it will be interesting to see what you think why you fly it......
Looing forward to the maiden flight
Maybe a stabilizing RX for a more novice type pilot...Like ME~!... haha...I still had to have one. Waiting on its delivery. I am thinking of the Admiral Stab RX. We shall see. Great Review as always. Maybe in '22 ZHOD will attempt a VTOL? Seems to be about the only style they are yet to offer.
Can you imagine what Zohd could do with a traditional Sport Cub-type plane? I'd bet it'd be fantastic.
I hope they go back to the stuff they used to be really good at: well designed, easy to fly models that are fun, easy to fly and designed for modern electronics that also look cool.
Pretty Slick! "Features: Unique and charming“turbine" sound when flying" Lol
I really want to try this model out, as I'm a huge fan of Zohd....but I am also building a Dart XL Extreme for long-range an I don't think this would be a good candidate at all, as EDF, though fun, fast, an terrific-sounding...are inefficient AF. Still, this would be fun to play with. I didn't quite like the Alpha Strike so much.
I bet y' can put a little fin at the exhaust to get some yaw authority.
I don’t think you need an iNav FC and GPS in something like this with short flight durations. You can’t go very far and get back home! Radio dual rates should enable good control. Maybe a small simple stabilizer would be enough and would fit.
A modern version of the old Skyangel Screamer?
Bit of a half baked product then! still I'm looking forward to the maiden, excellent first look video.
Hi, great review! Is there a flight video?
Nope. See my video on why vendors need better manuals to see some of the attempts at flying /launching.. Not up to ZOHDs historically high standards of design... Happy flying
Have you designed a camera mount? And are you gonna upload a flight video of it?
I'm using my pan and tilt mount, available on my Thingiverse page. No flight video, it isn't a good model. Happy flying
I wish they would bring the orbit back so I can have one in my stash of flying things 😎
I'm hoping for an updated little Dart. I loved that thing!
I do like the orbit. I've got one in the cupboard I've not flown in months. Kind of just fly my talon now..
What are your flight times (with which battery)?
I fit a gps in under a removable panel in front.of the tail fin and a Sparky 2.0 flight controller all the way at the end of the battery bay. 3/4 of the sparky 2.0 is way back on the foam. Tbs receiver is mounted where the camera pan servo would go. 1800mah 4s only 3 minute flight time. Has anyone tried a 2200 ma 4s or a 1800ma 6s ?
Not sure if this will suit the FPV crowd. Camera position isn’t ideal, short flight time, and smaller internal space. The Delta Strike could appeal to budget conscious LOS fliers looking for a quality EDF model.
I’m interested to see how it performs.
ZOHD and budget conscious do not really fit into one sentence...
Hi, what’s the dimension of the battery compartment? I can fit a 4s 1500mAh that I use with my fpv drones or I need long and flat lipos? Thanks
I've posted the dimensions in the community tab. I hope that helps.. Happy flying
@@Painless360 thanks
Are these 50mm EDF motors (2611 4000KV) efficient for cruising? Wondering how would it fit to AR wing PRO. Maybe even two of them for better yaw control.
EDFs are not efficient at all. See my series on motors and props on why; ruclips.net/p/PLYsWjANuAm4q1nqZUOm3PrlUq0TlzuXzk
@@Painless360 Thanks, i was probably wrong when i thought lower kV motor, less blades and larger housing/prop diameter would be spot on for efficient cruiser.
A two bladed prop spinning slowly is exactly what you want. See that series..
I was wondering if it would be possible to use in this model the zohd flight controller? I have a spare from my Orbit Neon. Have you tried this model with a flight controller? Thanks!
A stabiliser or flight controller could be a good idea. This model has issues though. Best of luck
@@Painless360 , care to expand on the issues you've found? I have a spare ZOHD stabilizer from my Orbit Neon, do you think that stabilizer could work on this plane? Last question; Have you maiden your Delta Strike and are you planning on making a video? Thanks again Lee for all of your reviews/videos!!
Have you done the maiden flight yet?
Still trying to get it to fly well. This is my least favourite model from ZOHD...
@@Painless360 what issues are you having with it? I thought these flew well
Not here buddy. Not here...
🦄 Hello.
Are EDF engines faster?
They are often designed for speed. But, traditional props can push a model to high speeds with significantly more efficiency... Happy flying
@@Painless360 Thanks!
so where do you buy the control for the plane?
I don't understand the question. Do you mean the radio?
@@Painless360 Sorry, yes! Looking at the site for the plane, the radio is not included. I saw a 4 channel radio at Amazon and maybe it would work with the plane.
A radio is an investment in the hobby so check out my Kit Picks video from last summer (new one one the way fro this year but the radio piece is the same)..
@@Painless360 Thank you.
@painless360 So you never flew it successfully? :(
Nope lots of far better wings, planes and EDF models...
@@Painless360 what EDF in that price range would you recommend? Thanks!
I've not flown any new EDFs in a while. If you Google 'EDF painless360' you'll find my reviews of the ones I've flown. Best of luck!
It is an ugly aircraft. The model must fly beautifully and be reliable to overcome the appearance. Drones are better for video capture? It is a matter of taste. Appearance is the whole enchilada for many modelers. Respect, Bradford
