I love windy drifting, it's so entertaining.
Nice little plane.
Just follow the rules for the slope. Adding ballast tames the turbulence some and smoothed out the flight. On one windy day I almost doubled the weight of my core flute zaggi wing.
Maybe next vid with Phoenix glider :D also I like CG a little bit forward on Drift, its reason why flying better with Mobius ;)
Nice Video, thank you. A warning to all USA buyers from Banggod, shipments are being delays for lots of people (Not Banggoods fault). I have a drift that changed from 15 days to 2 months for delivery. Been sitting in ISC Chicago for over 18 days. Banggood did what they said and got it processed and shipped out quick, but USPS is slow walking the mail in Chicago at least. I found one at a local retailer in kit form and love the little plane! Please do get one of these planes, just be ready to wait for it.
i have been waiting a month for props that have not left yet 6 to 7 weeks for my hd wing who knows about the rest. ill have to wait cant do much about c virous but its killing me the wait that is.
@@crog9750 LOL, have a little fun and find the ISC Chicago faceb00k page, they have a few posts of workers saying how happy they are getting paid to just sit and do nothing... Good luck on getting your stuff!
My Drift order with fpv was cancelled by Banggood & refunded as they could not get supplies
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for first rate and very useful content as always! But don't worry about so-called 'downwind stalls', that is a very widespread misconception in the RC community. The plane's reference point is not the ground, but the mass of air that it flies in, and that will not change character at all in a turn. The plane does not care about the ground and has no idea whether it's going up- or downwind. Stall is related only to angle of attack, which is determined by elevator input, period. Trust me, it's pure physics. So what might make models stall going downwind, is the fact that the pilot perceives them to go faster - as his reference point is the ground - and unconsciously slows them down in relation to this false reference point. As long as we don't adjust the elevator, wind direction will never stall us. That said, turbulence can always stall us. But that is nothing to do with horizontal wind direction, it's a result of changing vertical components in oncoming air. You won't stall over the road so long as you leave the elevator alone. And the Kopilot will not make that mistake, it doesn't have the massive mental capacity required to be misled by a false reference point the way even the best RC pilots are from time to time.
Thanks for your explanation but you're ignoring the transition period between upwind ground speed and downwind ground speed. Thats when the plane is being accelerated by the moving airmass pushing from behind. Cant get acceleration without an external force.
@@AndrewNewton The point is that there is no transition. The plane flies through a homogenous mass of air throughout the turn. The air mass does not change during your turn, and the plane has no magic ties to the ground. Think of the turn maneuver as centered around a drifting toy ballon to see the principle of an air reference point. The ground fallacy is ingrained in nearly all modellers, but virtually non-existant in full sizers, even the amateur ones, as their natural reference point is the air. Trust me, there is no acceleration going on except the centrifugal force around a point that moves with the air. Or refer to a tutorial Bruce Simpson posted a couple of years ago. He is to my knowledge the only modeller who has ever addressed this misconception. Try to think of a boat circling in a flowing river; that is a helpful analogy. Its water speed is constant even though it seems to vary in relation to the banks.
Yes it's an interesting and complex topic. I need to devise a simple test to show what I'm talking about. Newtons First Law is the key. Inertia
@@AndrewNewton
My experience in Paragliding showed me it takes time for an aircraft to adapt to changes in wind speed. *In other words, inertia is important.* When you come in to land in strong wind the Paraglider (PG) will be trimmed for fast flight, if you now descend into an area of no wind (wind shadow behind a line of trees for example), the PG will dive forward to try and adapt to the new airspeed. If you did not have the height to recover from this dive you will crash face first into the ground. In lighter wind, you will be flying slower (closer to stall speed) then if you go into a wind shadow, the PG will instantly stall and you will fall out of the sky vertically (called parachutal stall in PG circles) and land on your back!
Nice video Andrew, funny enough i had a very similar flight yesterday with ranger 16 in stabilise mode at the slope site, very gusty wind coming across the slope, poor old Ranger was getting knocked about
and loving it I bet
Your Winter looks better than our Summer...lol.
Yesterday I went thermal soaring at 1200 feet with the Phoenix 2000...had a great time TBH.
Oh yeah, sore neck?
@@AndrewNewton A bit, a good 30 minutes or so in lift, below cloud, so I could see it okay at that altitude...🤔😳😳😎
@@EnglishTurbines X-ray eye's too! you legend
@@reefer2917 "Below cloud"...a clue.
That winter flying really looks harsh. In Canada I put skis on my plane with two feet of snow on the field and fly at -20 c.
Respect!
Haven't done much flying here lately, around 8c with a bit of wind today,
that looks like an agile little plane, good for your coastal gliding?
I'm not keen on those self leveling I reckon they make it too hard to turn the models around, making it easier to blow away!
With the sale I got a new x8 skysurfer for au$50 delivered from Oz w/house! wohoo! can never have too many of those!
my x9 I fitted an edf to, well.. it crashed and caught fire...nothing left except the aluminium of the motor :-( was supposedly drawing 23 amps on a 30amp chinese esc, apparently it was only a 20amp? im guessing, cost me the x9, oh well...
great vid as always, come on the warmer weather!
Woo Hoo, nice warm fire, haha.
I’ve got the dart 250g and with the kopilot it’s fantastic.
Excellent, it's a great combo when you get it hooked up right
Nice one Andrew! I like seeing planes that can handle some wind ;-) See you in the Air!
Yeah me too
As a novice pilot, I didn't have as good of a day the other day when the winds were up. I knew better but I wanted to get it up with the newly installed Matek 411-Wing board installed. Repairs have been made and I'm ready to hit the field again for another try. What are your thoughts on adding a flaperon function to this fun flyer? Particularly for landing in more restrictive space as it can glide for days off of the ground effect.
Flaperons are only good for big gliders really, would make the Drift uncontrollable.
Nice video.
Cool I’ve got to get one ☝️
You should do another dlg build/review again! Does bang even have any dlgs?
I do like DLGs but not the cheap balsa ones
Since there is wind could you please do another rc sailing vid?🙏
Ha, I need warmth and less wind for that, but yes I will asap
Hi Andrew, I bought one of these little beauties and thoroughly enjoy it - thanks to your review btw!! Your videos are super informative and most of what I've learned comes from you - thank you. I have a question which you might be able to help me with, I am starting to learn how to fly in FPV and am currently using the ZOHD VC400 paired with Skyzone Cobra X. As I'm new, I would very much like to get the OSD to show altitude. I have a CAT01 that sends altitude to my FlySky i6x but I can't keep taking the goggles off to check altitude - I wear reading glasses and that makes it logistically hard as the glasses remain in the goggles. Additionally, whilst not critical, it would be nice to display an artificial horizon and home direction arrow. Do you have any suggestions, recommendations, or even videos that may guide me? Thanks in advance and please keep up the excellent videos.
You will need a flight control board with OSD chip to overlay the data on to the video. Cant do that with your board and camera. Have a look at my FPV and INAV playlists
I still have mixed feelings about the drift. It flies fantastic. After my final tune with inav it is soooo stable and smooth. But for my flying I just don't know what to do with it :D
I'm not a glider guy xD I wanna go high, fast and far away :D
To be honest I think it's better without a flight control board. Sloping, gliding and close in aerobatics, perfect for me.
Hello Andrew, I don’t think you mention it in this video but can you confirm that the bumps for setting the CG found on the bottom of the wings are accurate and what you used in this windy video, and currently recommend for the Drift?
Yes, right on the bumps is what I use for gliding and sloping. Can go a few mm forward in windy conditions
Good instruction on flying in wind, Thanks Andrew.
I just got one question: What was the word you said at 3:24? It sounded like BEEEEP! 😄
That was an exclamation of surprise and alarm commonly used in uncouth circles.
@@AndrewNewton
Ha-ha, I thought as much… Probably a good thing it got BEEEPed. 😃
Glad I stayed to the end cockies.
Awesome video! Does the Drift have any bad habits?
Have to reduce the rates for smooth flight but otherwise it's perfect in my view
I get ya point BUT may I see the last flight in Normal speed.
Cheers.
It is normal speed, lots of turbulent wind knocking it around.
@@AndrewNewton:Radical little thing..
*Hello*
Please have a question
What electric motors do you use?
Is it possible to increase the range of flight to several kilometers?
I use the motor that came on the plane, might be a Sunnysky. Yes long range is possible. Search for Matt Ogbornes Drift video.
@@AndrewNewton
Thank you
Winter LoL. Fabby Video
Nahhh, Just Make More Box Planes!LOL Thanks Mate
That's the plan!
