Mosquito.

Very cool looking plane, good details. Come with reverse rotating props for best flight handling.
The plane is very easy to assemble and comes with good instructions. Only took about one hour to put it together.
You will need 6 ch receiver with at least 5 ch radio.
The 6th ch is just for lights, it can't be turned on/off.

Suggested battery is 3s 2200. On test it only provided 280 watts at 25 amps. This was enough for the plane to fly but the flight was a bit slow and you had to keep 90%-100% power to fly level.
ESC supplies are rated for 4s-30amp. I tested with the 2200 4s and got 40amp at 600watts. This is only 20 amps per esc, so well under the rated power.
There should be no need to adjust the COG as it was a bit tail heavy stock. I'll update flight report, check back to my videos.

  • Looks great, might have to pull the trigger on this one.

  • @sbolandatutube

    Just make sure to upgrade stock props to Master air screws 9x5x3.

  • @sigor2011

    Yes, pull/push. I left the weight in, went with 4s 2200 lipo. Tested to draw below what the ESC are rated and give much better power. Seems CG was spot on, but check yours in-case i got my measurements wrong.

    Stock props = crash

see all
