The Delta Ray is a fantastic trainer with the ability to take you from beginner to advance, all in one plane.

One downside to the build is the inclusion of brushed motors.

Because it is a trainer, the brushed motors do prevent any crazy pilots from taking it too far, but then again that lack of power doesn't allow advanced pilots to fly this at its maximum capabilities.

The battery is specific to the model, preventing any larger batteries from being used. Our guess is this helps keep the weight correct as well as the CG.

The kit includes the Spektrum DX4e and requires no mixing! Also, this transmitter can help you graduate to new planes.

While in beginner mode, the SAFE system limits the throws helping you to stay on course. If you are feeling confident, you can switch to advance at any time.

The ever important "Oh, Crap!" switch will always be there to rescue you, and boasts an impressive response time.

Nice review. Would have been good to directly link to the Apprentice review since it did a better job of covering features of the SAFE system. But the plane was well discussed, showed what kind of flying it is capable of, and had the usual FT charm.

Very good review. Great job Josh S. You could probably have done everything JB could have done there.
I appreciated seeing the Battery bay and Rx Brick.

I think an airframe only delta Ray Maybe in my not to distant future!:rolleyes:
