Chimera Flying Wing - Pro Kit (GoPro Housing, Linkages)

The Chimera, created by Alex (IBCrazy). An FPV wing with a different sense of flight than you'd expect. While it is quite fast (up to 95mph), it's not a speed ship... it is an endurance plane.

Specifications

• Top (recommended) speed - 95mph
• Battery: 2X 3S 4000 Lipo
• Range: 35 miles round trip
• Flight time: 45 minutes
• AUW: 1.8Kg (just under 4 lbs) with video gear
• Solid wood ailerons (not coroplast!)

Both the PRO and Standard version come with the following:

• Airplane frame
• Laminating film
• 2 tubes of adhesive
• Motor mounts
• Solid wood elevons
• 4 fiberglass spars
• Winglets

The Pro comes with these extras:

• Side by side GoPro/camera case
• Midwing Stabilizers (minimizes tail-wag)
• Landing skids
• Control linkages
• Control horns
• Servo extensions

What gear to use? (from Ibcrazy himself)

Motor: I recommend a 400-600 Watt motor. More power is fun, but anything over 700Watts is more than you need with this airplane and will reduce flight times. I personally use a 3015 - 1640kv and 8X prop. A large 1500 kV and 9X5 or 9X6 would do well also.

Servos: The pro has cuts for 12 gram metal gear servos (I like the Corona 939MG's, personally). However a larger servo can be beneficial such as the Hitec HS82MG. I recommend a metal gear servo as the elevons are solid wood and can strip a servo in a wreck.

Average flight expectations:

• Weight: 2kG (4.2lbs)
• Range: 50km (35 miles)
• Speed: 110km/h (75mph)
• Distance: 60km (40 miles) round trip
• Batteries: 2X 3S 4000mAh Lipo
