HK Tek Sumo FPV

[MonZon]

I've been looking at this plane on HK, but never flown a flying wing before, I wasn't sure about getting it...

Until one good day I'm not good LOS pilot, prefer FPV. After maiden I couldn't stop enjoying this wing, so it became my FPV beast.

My setup:
3S 2200mAh LiPo
C2830-1000kv motor
20A ESC
2x HXT900 servos
TGS Sport 8x4E prop
FatShark VTX 600mW
808 #11 camera + jelly lens
AUW 705gr
CG 206mm from leading edge

This cutie flies so nice, I've never expected something like that from a wing!
Expo's need to be fixed big time

Here is some photos and couple of videos:

Great flight!

Thanks! For humble 6-7 months experience I think it is okay.

Guys, I'm planning to move my VTx on one wingtip and Rx on another and also add GPS and OSD.

I've placed those components on the wing to balance it in roll direction. To have correct CG I'll need to add another battery.
Here is the photo of it:


Right now AUW is 705 grams and wingspan is 90 cm. But after adding all this stuff my plane will be a lot heavier. Will it fly? Will it fly well and slow? What should I expect?

Go fly it and find out!

To fly it I need to carve placeholders, embed all the stuff inside the wing, cut and re-solder most of the wiring. Which can't be undone. So it is not an option.

Just strap the equivalent weight to it and go and see how it flies. If it doesn't go well then you know you can't add that much weight. If it goes well then you know you are good to change everything.

Finally, I've tried this. Results are not good. 2 batteries are really heavy. It does fly, but like a dead turtle.

Still thinking how can I balance it without adding much weight. If anyone has ideas - let me know, I could use some. The main trouble is just when I place VTX and RX on the wings, CG shifts too much back.
