FPV Wings Recommendations

Racing Quads, Self-builds & FPV

This is more out of curiosity at the moment to be honest but have been looking at the Parrot FPV Disco Wing. This is obviously out of production now but even secondhand used people want £400+ and on amazon they are £799! :astonished:
Are there any decent alternatives that you guys would recommend? Cheers

Hi Steve
Do you want to buy a BNF or scratch build from a kit?

Hey Steve would probably be a BNF to start with but I would be open to all advice and recommendations. I wouldn’t mind building one up myself if that opens up more/better options :+1:t2:

It definitely opens up cheaper options. A wing is just about the cheapest FPV thing you can fly and also some of the most fun. Just depends if you’re wanting GPS autopilot and all that jazz, then they can get a bit tedious to set up.

Thanks Mark they do look like great fun. I’ll have to look into the options available before I make any decisions

I had one that @Steviegeek got me. Not expensive, and you had to build it, but flew real well.
Unfortunately it’s crashed beyond repair :laughing:

@notveryprettyboy Whisky flight Karl? Or did you try to hit a gap and forgot you had a 2M wingspan? :rofl:

Nah mate. I had it flying upside down and everything. It crashed on a take off and loiter mode. I think. Proper piled into the deck. Just waiting for the frame to be available in the uk. It was a z84 wing wing. Great acrobatic plane :+1:

Are these wings the same as quadcopters in the respect that you can use various fc, vtx, rx etc or do you need specific equipment for specific wings?

The only major difference is they need 2 servos. They are real cheap. Plus they only need 1 motor! Instead of 4!

Would I be able to connect something like this up to my current radio (Jumper t-lite) or will I need a new radio?

Yes, all the FPV stuff and flight controller is the same as quad stuff
ESC’s used to be from good old model planes, but now you’re better with a BLHeli modern ESC
