This is my second plane. I started off with a Sky Surfer (1400mm Bixler-style), but I wish I had just bought this wing as my first plane. It flies a little faster than the Sky Surfer, but its agility makes it easier to fly in a small space like a park or rugby/soccer/NFL field. Its light weight and EPP foam means it hasn't been damaged at all on several nose-ins at half throttle when trying to set up my flight controller's auto-level. It did get a small tear in the leading edge of a wing after landing in a tree though, so tape or lamination film on the leading edge is recommended. The included prop does not have a 5mm ID, so if you buy a quad/drone motor, you will need to get matching props too. Keep in mind if you use a quad/drone ESC, the prop will brake instead of freewheeling when you drop the throttle, so this will decrease your glide distance.
The wingspan is actually 580mm and the airframe itself weighs just 53 grams. If you add only a 14500 lithium cell, a receiver and two servos you can have a slope soarer that weighs only 95g and can glide in a light breeze (plus it's legal to use near Australian airports if it's under 100g).
My build was an 1808 quad motor, a 20A quad ESC, a 5030 2 blade prop, a KK2 mini flight controller, a 3A BEC, a PPM receiver (very light, no PWM pins), a Turnigy Nanotech 460mAh 2S lipo, and 2x HobbyKing 3.7g ultra micro servos. The servos don't fit perfectly. The length and width is perfect, but the holes in the wing aren't deep enough. You can't cut them much deeper because the carbon spar underneath is in the way. See picture. The KK2 mini flight controller is too large to fit under the plywood motor mount. The mount is only 30mm wide, so I recommend a 20x20 flight controller. The processor doesn't matter as much as in a quadcopter, so just look for lower current draw to extend flight time. This build weighs 150g as I'm flying in the video. It has enough power that I can easily throttle out of a stall and fly vertical, but can fly slow enough to be easy to handle. It's very hard to handle in the 10km/h breeze without the flight controller in stabilization mode. I highly recommend using a FC. The build with the recommended parts in the listing will fly very slow and docile and would be perfect for a kid or a beginner without any simulator experience in no wind. If I add a regular size VTX, cloverleaf antenna with case and ultra light camera for FPV, it weighs 174g. The Eachine TX02 is a better option at only 155g flying weight. If you want a HD camera and a full size VTX, get the 800mm DW wing instead.
