In this video, I rip and tear around through the smokey air testing the launch mode, gyro, perform loops, and do a few aileron rolls too. I absolutely love this plane and cannot believe the flight times!!!
Note: Be sure to make sure you turn your elevator throws WAY up and turn your aileron throws way down to fly this plane with success.
I used these for low rate settings:
Ailerons - 55% Dual Rates & 40% Expo
Elevator - 88% Dual Rates & 40% Expo
Rudder - 62% Dual Rates & 40% Expo
These are the review notes for the ZOHD Dart RC Plane:
Pros:
- It is fast
- Long flight times
- The flight envelope is very wide
- The easiest PNP build I have ever built
- This is one of the least expensive RC Planes I've ever reviewed with this quality
- It comes with a gyro that has an easy launch flight controller built-in just like the ZOHD Orbit Wing.
- The RC Airplane looks cool with its forward wing design.
- There is room for an FPV Camera and VTX. The canopy top is perfect for modifying to install your favorite FPV gear.
- It uses common 3S 1300 batteries up to 3s 1800's depending on how you have the battery bay configured. I used a 3S 1300 and still got very long flight times
Cons:
- I am not aware of any at this point.
This Flying Wing RC Plane is made by SonicModell. They make the entire ZOHD line like the Dart and ZOHD Nano Talon, plus Sonicmodell AR Wing.
Here is a link to my cameraman John's channel. He recorded the video:
This is how Banggood describes this FPV Wing:
"This Dart Sweepforward wing is the first Subter-250g fixed wing that made by EPP mateiral. Detachable main wing and twin-tail wing makes the Dart Wing very easy to install and carry for out door flying, what’s more, the wings will disconnected during a crash, thus to protect the main wing and tail wing. You can put a lot of FPV gear and big battery inside the spacious hatch with “NACA” air-inlet. The aileron were enhanced by carbon strips to avoid any flex during flying and enable a precise control.
