    Noob question on Versa wing and receiver

    I'm just completing my initial build of the versa wing. I have a spectrum ar610 receiver and with the servos plugged into it its a bit too tall to fit completely inside the wing. I've built it as a pusher so I don't have the power pod. Since I'm a rather new flyer I'm expecting it to take a...

    CG Problems - FT Versa Wing and Blunt Nose Versa Wing

    Last summer I built a regular FT Versa Wing. I loved. I recently took it apart to used the hardware in a fresh new Blunt Nose Versa Wing. Both Pushers. However, I had problems with the CG on the first one, and I'm having the same problems on the blunt nose. Tail heavy. For the regular Versa...

    Mini Flite Test Planes

    Recently I have been obsessed with smaller planes and decided to try and make some scaled down FT planes. The smaller ones seem to be a tad bit harder to fly than the bigger ones, and take more tweaking, but it is totally worth it when they are done. Some of the advantages of smaller planes are...

    Versa Wing converted to Funfighter

    As a result of my first Versa Wing diving straight into the ground during maiden flight, the whole center of the wing exploded. Leaving only the wingtips and most of the Elevons intact. So I tried to salvage as much as possible of both wings, with an idea to make a mini wing later. The...

    Will this last minute polyhedral work on the Versa Wing.

    Finished building my versa yesterday night. Did not maiden it, but I already feel the need for a stability enhancement. What if I stick two triangular pieces of foam board at an angle to the vertical fins at the wing tips. Will It add to the stability or just be dead weight? Please note that the...

    Power Pod Set-up for Versa Wing and others

    Hello! New to the forums, asking for advice: I've built my first FT swappable, a Versa Wing. One side's a bit off from the other, but not too bad. I'm waiting on Flite Test parts for my power pod to build it. Using some online calculators and some educated guesswork, I ordered the following...

    Hi All, first time on this forum (actually first time on any forum).... don't suppose anyone would have the SPM file for a Spektrum DX9 for the FT Versa Wing by chance ? Many Thank, John.

    Versa Wing Mobius Ship

    Hi Guys and Gals, I've been trying to get some smooth video without a prop in the way. Would a Versa Wing in the pusher configuration be a good fit for this? Will it be smooth and "Floaty"? :D Also, would this be a good or stupid idea? I would like to make a version of the swappable pod...

    Versa Wing teething issues

    Hello! I've been flying since 1993 and I've returned to the hobby and to electric flight after several years. I've just finished a Versa for combat in my club and this morning went to maiden it and it will not fly. The plane nose dives into the ground. SETUP: pusher setup with the beef electric...

    Speedy Versa Wing - Build

    So if you were wondering where I had gotten to, I have been busy doing revision for upcoming exams (I know, it sucks right?); however, Ive managed to put a few hours this week into building a Versa Wing, and its almost done. Its got a pretty "beefy" motor too. 1450Kv. Too much? I built...

    Blunt Nose Versa Wing Aerial Video Compiliation - More than just your average FPV vid

    I'd like to think that this is not the typical aerial FPV video we have all come to know. In addition to flying I really enjoy the creative potential for using remote rc aerial footage to make video art. I'm just experimenting with the whole process and hope you enjoy this "testing". The...

    Sharpening my FliteTest Blunt Nose Versa Wing

    This is my FliteTest Blunt Nose Versa Wing during the first week of flying and shaking it down. I had a perfect maiden flight day. It took off an flew absolutely perfectly with no trimming required whatsoever. The beginning of this video pokes fun at how my overconfidence and carelessness led...

    Anyone else keep stripping the 9 gram servos on the Versa Wing?

    I have stripped the teeth off 4 of the Hextronic HXT900 9g blue servos - pretty much one every outing since building the Versa Wing. I think this is happening in the air as I lose control and then fall out of the sky (generally nose-first), so I don't think I'm hitting the elevons on landing...

    Versa Wings - ready for combat

    I did another scratch build versa wing using the black dollar tree foam board for a buddy of mine. So hopefully in the next few days we will get out for some combat. I wanna give him some time to get used to it a bit first. We call his the Black Mamba, but we will see which one strikes first...

    FT VersaWing aerial video on maiden flights

    This is my 2nd ever FliteTest build, with the first being the still great FT-22. They kind of look similar too: I guess there's something about elevon controlled planes I like. Might have to do with my first trainer plane being the elevon configured Delta Ray. I saw the Versa Wing as the...

    FPV Wing V2 Plans Published

    G'day! I thought I would put a post here in the forum as I really don't think this warrants an article over on the main site... A while ago I was working on a modified Versa Wing with a snub-nose center section so it could be fitted out with FPV gear - Zephyr style. A lot of people asked if I...

    Versa Wing Electronics Compatible?

    Hi all! I built my versa wing a couple of days ago but needed to make an extended battery tray to balance it out since I will not be putting a camera on it. I am using the ft firewall to which I mounted my turnigy 2200kv (2826)motor. It is using a 3 cell 2200 mah lipo and a turnigy 45 amp speed...

    Which size propellers to buy for swappables? / Versa Wing?

    I'm a newbie looking for my first handful of props of various sizes (to test with a watt-meter) for the Swappable Trainer and an FT Versa Wing, both with an NTM Prop Drive Series 28-26A 1200kv / 286w motor and 3 cell 2200 battery: I've been looking here: Hardware & Accessories > Propellers...
