Hello Dom. Something to note for newer flyers like myself. When setting up the model using the provided stabilizer, in the TX you need to program it as a normal plane wing and tail, and then set the dip switches on the stabilizer for delta. I had done the normal elevon setting for a flying wing and couldn't get my control surfaces sorted correctly. Maybe this is something that most people flying rc for a while would of known, but there was nothing in the instructions that would tell you to do this. As a note this is also the first stabilized model I have flown. Just thought I would throw this info out there because I found it helpful. Thanks for the videos! -Jamie
Good point Jamie. Even on the Banggood product page it says you need a TX with elevon mixing...which I think is wrong for this wing, because as you say, the stabiliser PCB does it for you. Thanks for pointing that out. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Essential RC Your welcome! I guess the only possible reason BG would say "use elevon mixing" could be for people that order just the "kit" not the "PNP" as the kit only comes with a simple PCB. Take care man,. -Jamie

Yeah. That would be it. I only noticed they did kit version today. Thanks again Jamie.
very nice stable flying! are you running this 3s or 4s and what size battery is it?
This is 3S1500 pack. No need for 4S. Who am I kidding! We'll try that soon. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
It goes well on 3S. I'm looking forward to trying this on 4s, Once I've built it!!
Can the "provided stabilizer" be purchased separately from Banggood? I could use one of my cheaper radios if I knew what to buy.
Not at the moment Robt but I suspect spare parts like the PCB will become available soon. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Please tell me what the bunny ear antennas are for?
FrSky receiver antenna. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
what is wingspan high altitude?
Wingspan is a 820mm. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
What's the total weight?
My setup with 4S 1600 comes in at 606g

GOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAM !
Essential RC thank
