I'm just building my Bixler right now! I got the PNP version. Not bad for $50. 4 servos and a brushless motor. I also removed the weight from the nose and plan to use a 2200 mAh 3S. Did you use any carbon fibre reinforcements? I'm also going to use a 6x4 prop and 20 A ESC. I hope it's not too much for the motor.
@matty6032 yeah, good advice, I'm using a 30A esc. I didn't even try the 20A. The motor seems to be holding up well and I get 8+ minutes of flying time. I glide around a lot.
Nice vid, I noticed with mine a bit of wind helps a lot, I was flying today and it was so windy the plane was actually going backwards :-) keep the vids coming, im gonna subscribe
