WLToys XK A160 Skylark Flying Model Piper Cub Flight Test Review
This is a very good looking 4 channel flying RC model of the Piper Cub. It includes a 6G stabilzation system to help ease flying.
Find it here:
Pros
- Looks fantastic. Nicely done flying model of a 1946 Piper J-3 Cub.
- Very quiet (almost silent) in flight while under power.
- Constructed of EPP foam with plastic trim. Weighs 145 grams, and thus does not require registration in most countries.
- Includes 6G (6DoF) stabilization (3 axis gyroscopic, and 3 axis accelerometer) to provide smooth flights for beginner pilots. The stabilization can be quickly turned off and on with the press of a button, allowing acrobatic flight if desired. If you get into trouble, just turn stabilization back on to allow it to automatically level itself.
- 1406 brushless motor for power and durability.
- 4 channel control with power, ailerons, elevator, and rudder control.
- 7.4V 500mah provides about 6 minutes of flighttime per charge.
Cons
- Plastic trim components are susceptible to damage in a crash.
- Not ready to fly, requires assembly. Assembly instructions were incomplete. Requires some basic RC knowledge or experience to fill in the blanks during assembly.
- Prone to stalls and unrecoverable spins with the 6G stabilization system on. Stalls/spins occurred even when carefully flying it through gentle turns while paying attention to keep the speed up.
Huge radio-controlled cardboard airplane made at home with cereal boxes, this time the only thing not made with cardboard is the fuselage, since this kind of cardboard is not strong enough to stand...
