The X-UAV Mini Talon is a very popular model for some very good reasons. With its’ 1.3 meter wingspan it easily fits in most cars assembled and ready to fly, or can have the wings removed if necessary. Its big-brother, the X-UAV Talon, has a 1.7 meter wingspan. With the recommended power system it can easily fly for 20-25 minutes of moderately aggressive flying, or much longer if you are conservative on the throttle. With proper R/C & FPV equipment some modelers have done 30-50 km. round trips with this plane. The plane is a V-tail, so there is mixing required to have both rudder and elevator on the 2 surfaces. You either need an advanced radio or a flight controller for this. In my case I fly FPV, and use an Eagle Tree Vector flight controller/OSD. The plans are a bit lacking if you like written step-by-step instructions. This model however is not intended as a first-aircraft, most any experienced modeler should have no problems with assembly. The plans show ”Carbon Rod Fasteners” which are actually pre-installed in the wings, so don’t expect to see them in the parts bags. These fasteners have a set-screw to lock the wings to the CF tube, using the included allen wrench. 10C 4S battery packs are ideal for the power requirements. While you can convert the plane to use the typical 3S battery packs you may already have, I wouldn’t bother. Buy the light weight/low-C 4S batteries if you don’t have them. A good option is to get the LiHV (High voltage, 4.35 volts/cell, vs 4.2 volts/cell) packs, but these do require a specialized charger. First flight: Despite forum-posts of people having problems, this thing flew right out of my hand. Hold it at the CG, use about ~75% throttle, give it a smooth overhand toss, releasing with a little upwards pitch. My first flight was line-of-site, with all control-surfaces set flat. It flew perfectly. The following 4 flights were 100% FPV, from 20-25 minutes per flight, from 12-20 miles elapsed distance per flight staying within a 1 mile radius. The plane loops and rolls well, and flies inverted very nicely with elevator input. I highly recommend the X-UAV Mini Talon, especially for FPV flight. With its speed envelope it can quickly exceed line-of-site if you are not careful. Its’ reasonable size makes it easy to transport, and also allows it to have fairly long flight times. While not appropriate as a first model, it’s great for any experienced model pilot looking for something new and different. Put a Vector (or equivalent) in this and have a blast, buy 2 as the darn thing is under $50 from the USA warehouse.
