ZOHD RC Plane Review Notes:
Pros:
- Extra set of servo leads that go into the wing from the fuse for FPV items such as a VTX
- A spot that pops out to install a GPS piece to take advantage of the spare servo leads
- The kit provides several holders for multiple HD camera options such as Runcam 2, Runcam 3S, GoPro Session, and GoPro Hero 7 Black!
- Ball link connectors
- A very sturdy motor mount!
- Easy install pieces all of the way around. Only one section needs screws!
- You can likely store it in its box as well as use it to transport it to the field with minimal setup effort once you get there.
- It comes with a spare bottom piece
- The box includes several decal sheets
- Pretty much all of the shortcomings of the ZOHD Dart XL Extreme FPV Wing were fixed on this model.
Cons:
- Some say that the bottom part of the V-tail is fragile, but mine has held up great!
This is how ZOHD describes this FPV Plane:
"Away from our initial debut in the RC world, ZOHD has evolved into a mature, committed and responsible company.
The Talon GT “Rebel” is the continuation of our new series called MKII, started with the highly acclaimed Dart XL “Extreme”. This series will feature an incredible set of high quality and ORIGINAL innovations, intended to give you the FPV aircraft for casual, mid and long range.
With MKII, without cutting any corners, we went straight ahead with 100% biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials, metal gear servos, high quality power plants, protection for leading edges and skids, wing fences, vortex generators, dedicated bays for FPV gear, revolutionary multi-cam hard noses and much, much more.
Talon GT is one of the most capable FPV planes in 2019, regardless wingspan and price. Can compete in range and speed with planes twice as big and twice the cost without blinking. Specifically design to fly with modern flight controllers, high power video transmitters and long range systems, Talon GT will give you the best FPV experience to date. Easy assembly, setup and maintenance… A true king of the skies!
This is it! ZOHD Talon GT “Rebel” is ready to hit the skies around the world, and this is just the beginning… join us in this incredible adventure!
