So I started my RC addiction with an fpv 250 quad and now i want to also add a fixed wing to my collection. The plan currently is a FT Versa Wing w/ blunt nose mod and power pack C in a pusher configuration.
I have a Turnigy 9XR Pro w/ FrSky DJT module and a few Zippy Xtra Thin 3S 2200mah
That's it that can cross over. So i need a receiver as well. ANYWAY I'm posting this up because since i started with a quad i of course had a flight controller and the more i look through fixed wings the more i'm realizing i likely don't need a flight controller. I'm taking a swing into the relatively lit dark that i just connect the servos to the receiver and control inversion, rates, etc from the model mixes in my radio.
But can a simple flight controller significantly impact my flight experience enough to consider getting one for my first build? Any tips on modifications to the build to make modifying and swapping components easier?
I'm also considering in the future adding some poplar booms with an inverted V tail to set up a configuration inspired by the RMRC Anaconda, which I've been quite obsessed with since seeing FT's episode on it. The idea is to make a stable "long range" platform for scouting ahead on 4x4 trails. Also thinking the job will be best suited for the Y6 i want to build but i can't resist a fixed wing for the price and potential flight time of the Versa Speed build.
