Exceed RC - Accipiter Badius review (Cloud City Flyers episode 1)

[HumanJoseph]

Can't wait to get mine!!

@HumanJoseph Well when you do....enjoy it! :)

[aggron195]

its ok if you have the motor on on the controller because it have a safety on the plane

[dirtnapper73]

So would the straight wing glide better then the bent wing?

[optimistONE]

@dirtnapper73 In theory yes, the bent wing should provide a bit more lift.  However I think the real reason for the bent wing is for stability. Keeping the plane level and true during flight/gliding.

@MontagHeidi Thank you for that. I have learned so much since I made this video. This was my first ever video review so I was still learning the ropes. Looking forward to getting another glider in the near future.

bought mine at ^....^ FOR $55

STRAIGHT WING VERSION, NOT FOLDED not sure of the difference.

[optimistONE]

@hobodude8 Great deal! Enjoy it.

[optimistONE]

@hobodude8 Great deal! Still love to fy mine.

[nibbler125]

a little rough in the turns but in time you will smooth out

[optimistONE]

@nibbler125 4 months later and the 'Badius' is my best stable flyer. Still one of my favs. Thanks for the comment.

Good question 'Trueflights'. The folded wing design is made for maximum lift and while I have not flown the straight wing version I would guess that it may be a bit more touchy on the controls. While they are both obviously top wing design I think my folded wing would be a bit more forgiving and stable in flight. Just a thought. I can tell you this though, my folded wing Badius flys exceptionally well at high altitudes and will practically fly straight by itself when the conditions are right

[Trueflights]

Ther eis a version of this same plane with a straight wing, as opposed to this model with the folded wing. what is the differences between the two? Stats and features as well as price are identical so I was curious if it changed the flying and gliding characteristics.

Hey if your handy at soldering and with a little skill ,you can make up your own battery packs .That way you can make up 5 or six battery packs and fly for over an hour. You can get the cheaper nickle metal hydride batteries at a home depot. The batteries they use for outdoor lights. For 2 bucks a piece or the enegizer rechargables work 3 times longer than the stock batteries.

[optimistONE]

Thanks for the tip! Looking into getting a soldering gun and may attempt to try this.

[optimistONE]

Thanks LP. Appreciate it!

[LIPOPILOT]

Vice cool man. The wing having the uprights is called dyhedral which makes the glider more stable in flight. Awesome job bro.

[erkrystof]

Nicely done, Chris! Keep it up... and wow... thank you for the promotion!
