Go Discover versus RVJet FPV wing RC planes (part 1)
A flying wing is one of the most popular forms of RC plane for FPV use these days.
Two of the leading contenders are the RV Jet from Range Video and the Go Discover from Hobby King.
In this video, I take a look at both models in terms of "what's in the box" and I end up doing a build of the Go Discover -- if only to make some room in the studio.
It's starting to look a lot like "you get what you pay for" with these models. The Go Discover is cheaper than the RVJet but it certainly lacks the "polish" and build-quality.
Several small (but very annoying) deficiencies in the Go Discover assembly process turned what should have been a 10-minute build into an hour and ten minute build.
Pro's for the Go Discover at this stage:
- it's cheap. You get quite a lot for your $130 or so when buying the PNF version
- it has *plenty* of room inside. Cavernous is the word I'd use.
- the quality is not too bad, all things considered
Cons:
- the fit and finish is disappointing when compared to the RV Jet
- no spare dome is included and the supplied one was dirty and scratched
- the instructions say "no more than 20 seconds at full throttle" - what the?
Stay tuned for the RVJet build video and then the side-by-side flight tests of both models.
