Turnigy Tek Sumo, the RC plane of the week

The Turnigy Tek Sumo flying wing from HobbyKing is this week's RC plane of the week on the XJet channel.

This example is Brent's and is perhaps a little underpowered with that tiny 2900KV motor but it flies nicely -- especially considering the very blustery conditions on test-flight day.

Remember: It's not an ad, it's not a review -- it's just the XJet RC plane of the week.

What happened to not being able to fly within 5 k's of an airport ??

[xjet]

@frogtwat Who made up that rule? We fly FROM the airfield with full official permission and approval.

I couldn't find the wing on Hobby King.

Am I mistaken, or is the prop on backward??

[xjet]

@MormanHP It was, but we put it on the right way before we flew it.

Windy? That was almost a tornado! Last time I flew my Kinetic 800 in similar condition I never saw it again... : (

@xjet ok ...under Australian MAAA rules, no remote control aircraft are permitted to fly within 5k of an airport ... WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL .

Having approval to fly there... you guys are so lucky ( wish i had an actual airstrip to fly from) so fair enough :) Love the reviews by the way .....

Is the Teksumo too small/light for a GoPro (sans case)?

How many Channels was that Twin Star Bruce? was it using Turniqy 9X with Turnigy servos and batteries?
