That is one sweet little glider Frank and it reminds me of the multi-plex fox that so many people have converted into a glider just like this one ;-) and the crash kit could be another sweet little build so you and your mates could race together,so thats a big ole tubs up from me mate.

Thanks startazz! This plane is actually just a little bit bigger than a fox. mine weighs in at just a hair over 5 ounces (142g) which is pretty light. This is good because I intend to add some weight with a bigger motor, lol!!

Looks great!!!! Do you have a brushless that is on par with a (h.e.t 2w-20) please I hope so!! I want to drop one in this model. I have a muiltiplex micro jet with a h.e.t 2w-20 4 cell lipo 80 amp esc and it does around 230-250 kph!!!!!! The swift would go faster I think with my set up!!!!

microjetmad this plane is way to small for anything that size. the stock power system is only 6Amps you would never be able to fit that big a system in this plane. The whole plane ready to fly only weighs 142g.

do you have any brush less motor upgrade recommendations? i have this plane and like how it flies. but i wanted an upgrade to be able to fly faster and to have parts available for purchase. the parts are available, but for now the propeller is out of stock. could there be other places where parts can be available instead of just one place. that's why i like to upgrade the motor and prop. thanks for the review.

@boywaimea I'm working on it right now and will probably post a mod video or a blog post of any mods I do to this plane a little later, so stay tuned.

How may channels would the receiver have to be?

[youronlycow]

@superdhillonboy I think it's EPO because EPP is used mainly for 3D planes whereas EPO are used for scaled and these kinda planes..

[superdhillonboy]

@youronlycow i have the same question and the price of EPO is $ 44.99

[youronlycow]

Hi there! In this video, you said it was EPP but on the web it is EPO. So which is it? And whats the difference, pros and cons? Someone plz reply me :)

Hello, I'm looking at getting this cool little plane but I was wondering which Tx to use. Is the 'HK6DF 2.4Ghz FHSS 6Ch Tx & Rx (Mode 2)' Tx and Rx suitable for this plane? Also would I need to purchase a USB cable separately?

Thank you for you time and support,

Al

If you really want a pylon racer take the mini P-51D Mustang and fit a Tower Pro 2409 12T Brushless, Turnigy 30Amp ESC and a Rhino 30C 1050mAH battery.
