Happy flying!
My apologies to Lee if I've missed it in the video but those complaining that their stabilizer doesn't work might need to know that the stabilization DOES NOT kick in till you rev up the motor for the first time. Fell into the same trap on my Orbit Neon.
Later versions of the stab do that. Thanks fro the comment.
Very nice review, i also have all three ZOHD's and my fav is the dart with the Orbit wing coming in close 2nd, i removed the battery strap and use a 2200 4s battery as far back as it will go against the spar and a little cutting of the top cover, so far its been too cold and i have given up with freezing fingers before the battery has given out, performance on 4s is outstanding. Love this thing.
As a new wing piolet i absolutely LOVE mine, its completely tought me to fly properly... And looking forward to adding Inav just HATE to lose any of the current fight characteristics that make this wing so awesome... ty again for all your vids i may have. O choice but to patron u also.. cheers
Yea any idea how to get the prop off? And I cant seem to get the CD perfect unless i get lucky.... so odd and mine will fly out of my hand also seems we deff have somewhat diff cg?
Hello,
I ordered this flying wing and the FrSky X8R receivers because I also have a Taranis x9D if I ever had a problem with the remote control model could you help me because so far I only do fpv drone.
Big thanks
czcams.com/video/OaKqAng-BVE/video.html would be where I'd start. Flying fixed wing is a blast! Best of luck!
I ordered this flying wing. So far I've only done drones.
Can you explain to me why your model in the Taranis for the Orbit in "entry" has a line at 100, 50 and 75% with an inter SA. We don't see it but I guess we have to do the same for the "Rud"
In "MCXOR"
CH1 100 I Garlic
CH2 - 100 I Ela ..... why -100 ?
CH3 100 I THR ..... Is this correct ?
CH4 100 I Rud
CH5 100 SE (or SA ?)
Thank you very much for the help you will give me for the details of the model, which will allow me to start on a good basis.
I hope you love flying FPV fixed wing as much as I do. What you're looking at are triple rates on the radio. This video is a good place to start to earn your 'fixed wing' know-how stripes.. czcams.com/video/OaKqAng-BVE/video.html
The things you are asking about are 'dual rates'. They allow you to change the sensitivity and aggressiveness of the controls by limiting the movement of the control surfaces. What channels need reversing depends on how the servos and linkages are installed on the model. See the link above for the basic plane setup video that covers this in a lot more depth.. Best of luck!
With the space for electronics and long flight times, I'd like to see you do an INAV setup in this wing. Great review.
+sptrader I am planning another iNav wing build, but with something a little bit more expensive! Stay tuned!
New series will be starting in a few weeks - you can preview the first video here:

Is the ZOHD Orbit and the ZOHD Orbit Neon interchangeable?
Looks amazing!
Hello Painless, quick, complete and painless we learned all about Orbit. :-)
Where do you place the single JST pins throttle, rudder, mode on your Frsky X8R? Do you have 3 receiver pins for one channel within your X8 or only one? When you have 3 pins do you fix the single JST on Plus, Minus, Neutral / up, down, middle?
I bought PNP with AIO preinstalled cam and Vtx and it comes PNP without. Always the discussion ... There should be a 5,8 gHz Vtx under the inner plate. Do you find something like that? Can one use it? Is there a connection?
Thanks a lot!
The single wires plug into the signal pins of those respective outputs on the receiver. Please see the close-ups of the wiring in the video for more information. Best of luck!
@@Painless360Thanks a lot, Painless! Little question en passant: which one is the signal pin? X8R down, I found it, I haven't worked with single wires up to now.
Which other RX for the Taranis X9D plus do you recommend?
It’s written on the receiver,. Demoted by the wiggle, see my videos.. (and 7:53 in this video) best of luck
Hello,
Thank you so much for the great review. I would like to ask a couple of questions:
1. Did you set the Throws to 50, 75, and 100 for the auto level (launch), Manual, stabilization modes respectively?
2. Are you also used the same throws and expos for ZOHD Nano Talon’s Aileron, Elevator, and Rudder?
Thank you for your reply.
I have the wing setup at 60 percent ailerons, 40 percent elevator with 30 percent expo and it flats great.
Flies great sorry, No edit options lol.
Thanks for another instructive video. Whould it be an idea to look at upgrading the FC to maybe a programmable GPS FC or Auto return?
Indeed - see the iNav series. :)
New series will be starting in a few weeks - you can preview the first video here:
czcams.com/video/qDbKvIfmrsU/video.html
it would be awesome if you listed the parts you used in the video description
The links at the bottom of the review videos. Both of the pieces used here have already had reviews and the links to those videos are in this one. Happy flying
Great review of the ZOHD Orbit.
Do you mean you physically stuff a piece of notebook paper between the elevons and the wing, and that deforms the foam enough to avoid future contact?
I did to bend the foam back..
Lee. We just bought one of these and I've never connected a receiver to this type of setup. I have no idea what I'm doing with these single wires that need to be plugged into the receiver. Any tips would be appreciated. Our receiver is the Frsky RX4R. Thank you so much and have a wonderful day. Update- Been working on this for an hour and have tried about every combination and still can't get things correct. Our radios and planes are set up as Throttle, Aileron, Elevator and Rudder.. i'm wondering if this is a conflict. Also. I'm not sure if I'm missing it in the limited directions, but how do I set up a switch for the 3 flight modes?
I ended up using PWM connections as shown at 8:02. Adding an extra swtich isn't too tricky. It's all covered in my OpenTX mix school playlist. Google something like 'adding switch opentx painless360' to find my video on it. Best of luck
Thanks Lee. I really appreciate the reply. Are the single wires the signal wires?
All I've flown have been std servo connections (3 wires) and have never had a plane with stabilization... All new stuff to me. Have a great day.
Yep. The three cable wire is the aileron and the others are all just the signal pins...
hi thanks for the video ……can you tell me if a spectrum receiver will work with this wing ……..and has it been discontinued? ……cos i can not get a hold of one right now thanks
Masha Allah as always a very good review, which of the 3 would you recommend for an FPV, longer duration and heavier gear?
Orbit or the Mini (not Nano) Talon.. I’ll be looking at other options soon too.. stay tuned!
@@Painless360 So you'd say the Mini Talon is a good beginner plane? Looking for something that can go far, for a long time, and fly stable.
Dear Sir, i was wondering if you can help me out on the wiring schematic if using FRsky X6R receiver on this ZOHD Orbit? (any additional component/components needed?)
Shouldn't be. See my Opentx plane setup videos for more tips. I also have a flying wings for quad pilots series that may help too.. Best of luck.
@@Painless360, that is a really helpful info there. So my brief understanding for a wing is no flight controller is needed & if we use receiver like Frsky X6R/ X8R, it does have stabilization option if we choose to? correct?
You don't need stabilisation. See my various wing build series ..
My stabiliser did not work from the start on a Dart I bought from Banggood and it is an impossible mission to get a replacement from Banggood. They expect me to buy any stabiliser locally although I really would like a the original thing.
I've not seen anywhere that sells them separately. Maybe an iNav upgrade? Best of luck!
I had the same issue. I stopped buying from Banggood. Customer service is horrible. They want to see videos, pictures, order details, receipts as if they didn't have anything on record. They actually asked for a picture of a charger that was not charging. I hope more products were sold on Amazon because their return policy is best.
Milan yes, I agree, even Ali Express has a better return/refund policy.
I enjoyed the video. Did you need to solder the VTX to the Runcam Split? Thank you.
Yes. Happy flying!
Can someone please help to reverse(Jumper t16) one of my servos(channel 2) on the transmitter? When I pull back on the elevator on my Orbit the elevators go down instead of up, can someone please help me to reverse the channel or any other solution?
Check out my Opentx simple plane setup video..
Great video thank you 👍 would you recommend this has your first wing ? I've flown quad's so have a little experience ?
+Shyfly it would actually make quite a nice first wing. It's pretty rigid, flies great and that stabiliser makes it a piece of cake to fly for even and inexperienced pilot too. Learning to fly a fixed wing, just like a multi rotor, is a learning experience so expect to crash. So maybe a really cheap, simple foam wing like a TeKSumo could be an even better choice as you're going to end up hot gluing it back together at least once or twice. Happy flying!
Hi again Painless I have just one final question for you on ur TX have u it set up as eleven wing or just the basic airplane setup. Thx 😁
8:06 ;) no mixing.. so whatever setup gives you the channels as per the images. That's usually the standard plane setup as the flight controller/FC does the mixing for you. See my other videos on adding flight controllers and stabilisers to wings and planes....
Very nice review, could you please, release the stl files of that neat pod you made for the runcam split? Thanks
Already done - on my Thingiverse page :D Happy flying!
Hi there..the camera mount . is that on Thingaverse?? Love your stuff.
Yep. Google something like 'orbit camera mount painless360' and you'll find it :D
Great video, I just bought one. One of my ailerons is really sticky, did you slip paper in between the aileron and wing to loosen it? When flying in stabilization with inav it wobbles all over the place, I think it's because of this sticky aileron. Thanks again for the great video!
Either that or use a new Exacto blade to shave a sliver off the end. Any stickiness will make it trucker to get dialled in...
@@Painless360 awesome, thanks for the reply I'll try that. I've folded some paper and managed to get that in the hinge, I'll leave that over night and see if that fixes it. Thanks again!
That should do the trick, sometimes the model is sat on one end in transit/storage and it pushes the end of the wing in a little..
@@leehudson1384 Hi Lee - don’t know if you still read here but if ....
After you did ‚unstick‘ the ailerons did you get rid of the wobble?
because nobody’s else is complaining but from my wing experience (build many years ago myself like Zagi or similar) my Neon sorry flies like sh....
especially because of this wobbling and can’t really find a sufficient COG, where the wing after a short input to a 45° dive (just gliding/changed ESC to have a prop brake) does recover itself in a nice and gentle curve - the way wings with correct COG and neutral ailerons (most not symmetrical profiled wings have them a bit up (no idea for the Orbit) ....?) should ‚behave‘
all in manual mode - because I don’t want my FC to correct bad flying habits- first the wing should fly good by itself
any input (Painless360😉) highly appreciated
Thx
Nice video good job
Did you fly it with the Turnigy camera? I'd love to see some video from that camera and get your thoughts on the flight characteristics. Is that Turnigy 2K wifi?
+Ron Allison please see my review video for the camera, it's not a new one. Happy flying!
Hi Painless I’ve managed to get another ZOHD orbit Stabilizer from a pal who’s wrecked his wing. Can u plz tell me where on the receiver the 3 pin plug goes all the others I think go to the signal pins & the green goes to the gear channel to switch flight modes. Thx again for ur help Paul 😁
The outside pins on the output side are the ground pins.. hope that helps!
Hi Painless. What I mean is the 3 pin plug the red white & black one connected to the Aileron or what terminal does it go on. Thx 😁
Hi Paul. I used PWM and connected it as per the writing on the top...
Hi Painless I have just purchased the Zohd Wing & I am having a great deal of trouble with built in stabiliser it appears not to be working. Can I just use an ordinary spectrum 6 channel receiver without stabiliser & fly as well. Many thx Paul 😁
Yes you can but I’d let the vendor know...
I finally ordered one but think I've got the wrong receiver for it i got the V8R4 -II what fr-sky receiver would you recommend ?
I would use a X6R or a X8R personally..
I have a problem with the elevator on mine, where the travel on the up elevator is barely 5mm, with the stabalised "launch" mode, almost no travel on up elevator. Is this normal from your experience?
It worked well in launch mode but I found the lift it used on the elevons was a little too much above 30% throttle. I can't test it now as I'm installing iNav into the wing so have ripped out the stabiliser.. Best of luck!
Seems I'll have to go the same route. Excellent channel btw. Thanks!
hi.. does this come up with free camera and remote control when you buy?
Everything that comes in the box is shown in the video. Happy flying!
Hi - great video. Was the camera case uploadedto thingiverse? i've been searching over there but don't see it. Thanks
Yep. It’s on my Thingiverse page..
Thanks - I was doing Painless 360 instead of Painless360!
:D
Is there any reason you would not use the XMR instead of the X8R. I have a nano talon and I have done the XMR pin mod. I haven't test flown it yet but i am not sure if there is any down sides. Thanks
The XMR with the pin mod is a great choice. I'm also getting in a few S-bus to PWM converters to play with too..
plese, why you plugged the green (mode switch) in channel 5? And, i'm a dummyflyer, but, how can i change the Inputs as you did? i tryed, but can't do it... just a few tips, if you can. :)
That was the channel on the radio that the 'mode' switch was configured for. Please see the Nano Talon video where I cover it in more detail..
Will you be doing a build overview of the TBS Caipirinha 2?
+Bouldy that's the plan, followed by an iNav install in it.. stay tuned!
New series will be starting in a few weeks - you can preview the first video here:

Nice
Hey! I would love to get into the wing game. Currently I fly only quads. Could this be my very first wing? Do I need to spend some time in simulators before I buy and fly one?How hard is to set up one? I plan to use frsky R9M system. Thanks
This is a really easy wing to fly, if you're coming in to fixed wing then check out my easy wing, introduction to fixed wing and teaching quadcopter pilots fixed wing videos on the channel. Best of luck
@@Painless360 Thanks! I will definitely check it out, I'm excited for the wings especially because I have pretty nice place to fly it, btw would I be able to use r9 mini receiver (it has 4 channels that could be wired individually - www.frsky-rc.com/product/r9-mini/). I'm not really sure about protocols that zohd stabilizer supports, I've tried to look over the internet and also on their manual but I couldn't find any useful info about that.
Ta muchly :) good solid review
32 minuets! Wow!!!
I know! These wings are so bloomin efficient. If you flew like a loon then I’m sure you’d get a lot less but the wing flies great in half throttle or less - very relaxing, fun FPV!
Anyone know if an APM will fit in this? Along with it's osd, power cable etc?
Unlikely, see my video where I install a F35 and iNav into one.. it's tight..
@@Painless360 Thanks.
Where’s the new Messerschmitt flying vid 😪
+Daniel Hearnden coming! Thanks for the comment.
Painless360 I’m uk 🇬🇧 too weathers been rubbish so I understand
+Daniel Hearnden then you feel my pain! :) With the model being so beautiful, I don't want to risk it on a less than ideal day as I don't want to break it! It's just too damn pretty. Let's hope the weather improves soon so we can all get out and fly a little bit more! :)
Painless360 I’ve just finished putting the decals on and I won’t be flying it until perfect conditions too she is a beaut bring on the summer ! Look forward to your maiden flight video
I’m sure there is a useless tosser joke in here somewhere 😂 Thinking you could have a 2 position switch. Launch mode and fly mode. Then have a logic switch for 50% acro mode.
Should have an EDF instead of the prop.
5+ )
Threaded prop!? I won't buy one because of this absurdity. Why encourage companies who produce bad products by purchasing them?
DJI use threaded props and produce first class equipment, considered Worldwide by most, to be leaders in RC aircraft design.
THE ZOHD Orbit wing is an ultra lightweight craft, it doesn't warrant the manufacturer using a washer and nut. I have both and appreciate the choices made by both innovative manufacturers.
With ZOHD, check out the way they conceal all servos and pushrods in the fuselage and the elevator actuator, concealed behind the wing's trailing edge....brilliant innovation.
I ordered this flying wing. So far I've only done drones.
