Great flying design. I built one similar but KFM4 and bigger? I call it the bloody arrow.

An official resource has been added to the resources section of the forums! Maybe we'll see some action on this thread...
I still haven’t gotten a chance to build one. I definitely plan on it, and my needle cutter is just waiting on a replacement aurduino, so I should be able to build one soon.

Ready to maiden. I went with an 1806 motor because other than a rather docile Spear I haven’t flown wings very much. The Arrow and I have a checkered history. I’m hoping that the Dominator will be a little more forgiving. I plan to throw it up in the air Thursday after work, but it gets dark early in the Northland this time of year. If all goes well I modified the 2212 plans and will see how they work.

Cool paint job! You'll be the first to fly it on an A pack, but I'm sure it'll fly fine!

Okay, so the Dominator flew. It was a bit squirrelly at first. However, once I got it trimmed out it flew nicely...though, I have to say, I crashed it into the snow a couple of times (Thank goodness for snow!). After the Dominator was set up it was easy to fly, maybe beginner/intermediate level (as I am not sure I'm more than an intermediate level flyer.) An1806 motor is probably a little under powered for this wing. Mine has a snappy roll, but it doesn't loop very well, which is more of a power maneuver, so a 2205-ish motor would be better.

Assessment:
One sheet of foam board (Though, I built mine out of scraps.)
The build is EASY!
The Dominator is a nice flyer, once trimmed.
Mine balances with a 70g-72g battery, because the foam board I use is slightly heavier than FT foam board (3S 850maH or 900maH battery).

It's fun!

If a person wants to get into wings, then this might be a good starter. Better than an Arrow to start with, but not as easy to fly as a Spear. The Dominator is easier to build than a Spear, so it the Dominator would be a better starter.

Just my thoughts. Thanks for the plans!

Congrats on the maiden! Glad you like it!
