- Chill and watch as I build and then fly a HeeWing F-01 high speed wing!
This video took over a month to create, so if you enjoyed it please give it a like :)
I technically built this wing for free. I used CZcams revenue to buy the wing itself, and then kitted it out with spare electronics I had lying around. I also used a BETAFPV ELRS kit that they kindly sent me for free. You can get the kit from here:

I made a small mistake in the video at 8:38 I used the 5" prop for flying at high speed. The 6" prop was for endurance flying. Also used the 6" prop for the VTOL
This a cool and way more than a toy if used for surveillance of one’s property.
Tell me what kind of range are you getting? …and for a recon mission? …how about in areas with partially heavy forestation?…any options with thermal cameras and or starlight cams?
I would like to invest in a First person perspective drone for both the fun of flying as well as as sweep of my property. It is mostly flat land (45 miles west of the Chicago limits… with a large clear space that is about one mile by 3 miles roughly oval and a few more heavily forested. I would also really like to fly a pattern manually and be able to send it off to repeat that recon sweep autonomously.
What do you suggest?
@@robertwalsh5461 You could do all that with this wing, although there's definitely better options. A mini Skyhunter would be my suggestion. You can get very long flight times with that (over and hour with the right batteries), and it would easily be able to carry things such as a thermal camera. As for your last question, any drone that's equipped with a GPS unit and a flight controller running INAV firmware would be able to do autonomous flights/fly a pre-determined pattern.
@@gizfpv any video coming soon about the siyi hm30 hd system, I just order one with the hdmi converter, I built a homemade fpv cockpit with a 50" screen, I think the siyi hm30 will do great with my setup check it out and let me know what you think
Pyo
@@sub_idiljin9038 sorry what? lol
Wow it stays really well locked in at 400ft !
Amazing the accuracy we achieve now with technology
I know right. It's like magic 😅
The air layers are very calm at 400ft... I have detected the same phenomena with my DJI drone 😉
Really great of you to document and share this, excellent idea, great approach. Thank you for helping fellow RC pilots!!
I hope they didn't charge much for that wing. You basically built that up from scratch. I have a ton of respect for your building capability and knowledge but sometimes these hobby shops get away with highway robbery.
Yeah I gotta admit, it's not really a 'PNP' model, despite being advertised as one. I technically didn't pay anything for it (used CZcams revenue to buy it) but it wasn't too expensive anyway :)
I totally agree with you, that is only 50cents of foam😢 the author could make it himself especially since he did 99% of the build😅
Thats a tidy build and the internal bay looked great with your custom 3d prints in, might grab one myself as i have a spare microvector that would drop in nicely. Great vid.
I like a lot how you made this video. Super useful. It doesn’t seem the slipperiest design given the blunt front end the thickness overall and all the things on the surfaces disrupting airflow.
Yo! So cool! It feels perfect when you just slot the part in to the 3d printed part so gracefully. Great work!
It really does :)
Have you tried the antenna menace make? Its flat to the surface almost with a nice streamlined cover over it, i put one between the landing skids on my AR900!
Woah, cool build dude! Really dig the video quality and editing as well, a lot of people don't appreciate how much effort and skills it takes ;)
Cheers man. Yeah, editing takes sooo long. Especially when you wanna sync 300 clips to music and add a hundred overlays lol
Beautiful build. Thanks for sharing and all the editing.
Thankyou. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Another freaking awesome video, love watching them all!
I was waiting for someone to review this wing. Thank heavens 🙌🏾🙌🏾😭😭
Thank You for the detail and the 3D print files link!
Great build video - thanks for sharing !
That was bad ass bro!! Been flying freestyle quads for 4 years now. Not much experience with analog but I was very impressed with the lack of breakup and nice video quality man! Just shows that if you choose the correct parts analog can be sweet! The wing was a really clean build btw dam!!
Cheers man! Yeah a decent analogue setup can work really well. My current setup will get me miles and miles of range if I wanted. Cost a fair bit initially to set up, but worth it in the long run :)
I love your build videos, Thank You 👍
perfect build and flight💯👍👍
This is my first rc fpv plane.. I didn't know it was built for speed because I bought it from Amazon, and it was advertised as "fpv wing flying wing rc plane wing rc flying wing fun beginners." Gotta love the Chinese. I put a MATEK fc, gps, long range vtx in it, and I'm setting it up to fly itself the best I can, and I've crashed it twice.
Trial by fire damnit, I'm not giving up lol.
So much more speed to gain here with small tweaks. Very nice product
I absolutely agree. Few tweaks and maybe a upgraded motor would have this thing flying rapid
Great build video, nice tidy plane. Like the pad take off at the end 👍🏻
Thanks man 😊
@@gizfpv Video popped up, thought I would have a look. Great style 👍🏻
Love how the GPS drops nicely into the FC mount at 4:55. 😉 Assume you did one massive raid on the spares box, then came up with a strategy. Always learn a few tidbits from watching your well edited content. The use of 3d-printed camera mount (5:18) that glues in vs. gluing in the camera is really thinking outside the spares box. Makes for easy recovery, or swap-out in future. ♥😎
Regarding the speed and weight (12:31), generally heavier planes will achieve better performance at higher speeds. I'd suggest checking propeller speed (RPM vs. pitch). Beside propeller, you might check speed claim to see what battery was used. A higher voltage would provide more power (provided ESC and electronics support).
A coat of turtle wax (🐢) could make it a be more slick (just kidding). BTW: one thing I noticed is the 3d-prints for VTx and Rx appears to have a lip, which could act like a spoiler; particularly as close to leading edge of wing. If had be placed further back, they'd be behind laminar separation point and have less effect (but would be in area where foam not as thinks. Tradeoffs)
One extra you could try is printing servo covers that add an aero shroud to cover elevon pushrods and horn). Know would not be stock, but it might enable getting the most Hee out of that Wing. Alternatively trying high speed passes inverted might have an alternate limiting speed. (never know, that fine print in claims, etc).
Owning a 3d printer is invaluable when it comes to building aircraft. I pretty much always design and print parts for each build I do, as it just makes them much cleaner builds :) On that note though, you may be right about the VTX and RX mounts having a slight lip that may have interrupted the airflow and induced drag. Although as someone else commented, the VTX antenna probably produced the most drag. Ideally a embedded antenna should be used I reckon. Servo covers might not be a bad idea though. As for trying high speed passes inverted.....that sounds like a recipe for foam snow and tears 😂
@@gizfpv 😂
Use nail clippers to take the hangers off of your fingers. Changed my life. No pain and nothing to catch on anymore.
Thanks for sharing this, loved it.
You're welcome :)
When you use uhu-por just apply thin layer to both sides and wait 5 minutes (spread the glue). After that join parts together and done - glued instantly.
Amazing video which also happens to showcase the ridiculous barrier to entry in this fpv hobby still. So much 3d printing and soldering. Imagine being an RC beginner watching this wondering how you are going to get by.
You can buy pre-built stuff. It's just more expensive, so hobbyists don't.
I doubt a "beginner" would get into fpv and flying wings so early...
Hey man, nice editing. Really enjoyed the vid, thanks
Cheers man, glad you liked it :)
Thanks for sharing the .stl files, extremely useful
You're welcome
Really cool, thank's for sharing 👍
Glad you liked it 😊
Been in this hobby longer than I would like to admit but finally picked up a pair of crimpers and WOW they are awesome, I hated soldering to these boards!
Haha, yeah have a pair of crimpers and some crimps makes builds so much easier and also so much cleaner. Defo worth having :)
Clean build. Nice vtol at the end. I'm sure they will add that to the listing :)
I don't think I will ever take the time to build and put together things like you have shown in your video. Haven't done building RC models probably for, let me just say, a LONG TIME :) Just more enjoy operating then putting together or building. BUT I MUST SAY, Really enjoyed your video and it is very informative..... Very informative. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it bro :)
Cool build 👍 that sucker MOVES for a foamy. I need one!
Do itttt 😋
Wow cool flight my new friend☺👌 excellent build😃👊👍
Thank you 😊
This video so much fun do more keep up the good work
Impressive wing. IT seems to fly like it's on rails.
Once I sorted out the elevon linkages, yeah it really did! :D
Excellent build man!
Thanks man :)
i absolutely love all your videos thank you sir!!
I'm glad you like them 🙂
Nice little screenshot of Bruce/RCModelreviews. A true pioneer for our hobby.
Absolutely :)
Glad to see your still building analogue instead of going dji like most others, cant afford to buy a new set up of goggles then air units for my builds! Also that music you use on your vids is great,lol!
Hopefully heewing might send you a ranger now you did them proud with alternative build for this kit,makes sense for them buisness wise to have us all catered for in these builds and yours is only one i saw going analog so far.
For sure man! I have tried the DJI fpv system, and it is cool, but it's way overpriced. I don't mind paying a 1 off expense for goggles, but I don't wanna be spending a fortune on air units for each build I do too. If a cheaper alternative (possibly Orqa) comes on the market I may get involved with HD fpv, but for the time being i'm happy with good old fashioned analogue.
And funny enough, Heewing have sent me a Ranger! I haven't built it yet though, it's my next project....after I finish my current one :p
@@gizfpv going HD or staying analog for us die hards(tightwads! Lol!).
Cool solution! 😎👍
I'm from Brazil and i like yours projets, good Job !
Thank you 😊
Loved the build and the bonus footage. 💯💚💚💚🔥 With a proximity sensor, you could use it to mow lawns! 🤦♂️😂🤣😂
Haha you literally could 😅
how lovely the grass was
Dang, that's fast!😊
Love the altitude display ha ha
Thank you for sharing of this great video!
I have the diatone Ripper 690 and I can’t wait to build mine.
Best regards
Joschi aka 1ronm4n ✌️
Nice. The Ripper is basically the same wing, just a different colour. Should fly just as well. Enjoy :)
Great vid - lots of effort in the edit, and it shows 👍
Thankyou :)
Wow, so amazing
Great job as always brother.
Cheers man :)
Bro thanks a bunch. I've seen countless videos that wasted my time. I just wished I would of seen yours first!!!! Thanks again.
Glad you liked it :)
1970s roller blade disco music approves of this video.
It's an absolute tune for sure
Much better luck than I had. I bought the Ripper R690 which is about the same. Didn't fly as good but was still crazy fast and had lots of grins 😁
From what I understand, the Ripper is basically the same aircraft as the HeeWing? Just different colour foam and different colour LED's? I would have thought it would have flown just as well. These things are legit fast though, even if I didn't get it over 220kph like I hoped lol
Esta chingon!
Con el fpv se ve súper
Thanks :)
Lets hear it for the spares box!! 😄
The spares box is my wallet's best friend lol
Giz FPV: HI! what to say man... I just forgot "using fast forward" watching your video. I think when your passion vs detailed dedication for the craft clearly show in this video, i think everyone will be stunned to see the easiest way of knowing about circuits, RC plane & remote. I just awestruck second by second with the circuit 💫 pictures and connections detailing. Well done brother 👍. I am a pharmacist, i don't know about anything regarding your stuff but i never fast forwarded your videos while watching. Watched till end. With lots of love from ANDHRA PRADESH INDIA 🇮🇳. ✈ ✋
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and learned a little along the way too :)
I would imagine the lost 20 kph from claimed top speed is due to the FPV antenna and the other holes cut out for the 3d printed mounts causing drag. But man that thing is an awesome build.
Yeah I'd agree. At some point I may try an embedded antenna and see if it makes much difference
@@gizfpv Also, more height-less drag... Keep it in mind :D
@@EXTREMERULES2009ify also less air for the prop to push🤦♂️ for jets yes altitude, but for small props thats not the best thing to do
@@OGDragonflare Also less air for a jet engine to burn its fuel with, resulting in less thrust. Jets are not flying with rocket engines.
The gain in speed is higher than the loss of thrust the props can provide, even if its just a litlle, the difference decrease with altitude so above a certain altitude the maximum airspeed will decrease but the maximum ground speed won't deacrease as fast and not from the same altitude. He should also fly in the same heading as the wind is going to fly faster (not relative to the air tho), that's even more true with those small planes as they are very light so the wind has a huge effect on them, compared to heavier and bigger planes.
@@AlphaDragons60 Altitude has to match the drag, the prop, the pitch, the motor/battery, the humidity and the air density, everything is a tradeoff :)
Excellent video !
Thank you :)
Penso che questo sia migliore della Air-Wing 900 che ho scelto . Meglio di materiali e strutturalmente 💪
That flight computer is sick :D
Impressive!
Really great
Thanks :)
Very nice build video. Did you also try the 5x5 prop? It might get a little faster with that one. I am building mine at the moment, so thanks for the information and perfect timing :)
Yes I did tried both the 5 and the 6" prop. I used the 5" for the VTOL at the end of the video :)
Very nice!
Wow you flew 400ft consistently the whole flight even when you landed. That's impressive :D
Damm right. Pure skill yo :P
great video!
Excellent vid man... I missed this one (and my guest appearance!):-D :-D
Your praise is a high honour sir 😁and I'm sure your cameo appearence is what's helped make this video so successful :p
Nice and clean build I like it. I purchased one and now I'm thinking about the GPS location. I will use an M100 "modern" GPS, so is it easy to fix satellites with the GPS inside the fuselage or should I put in a wing like many other builds? Thank you.
Subbed immediately.. Awesome content!!!!!!
Thankyou! :)
I think to get that last bit of speed you're going to have to really clean it up. Get rid of all of the external antennas and whatever those slotted panels are that you dug into the wing roots. Where they are, and with those slots and holes, I'm sure they are producing lots of drag, and lots of turbulated airflow. And that turbulence is being stirred up in front of the prop. Feeding a high speed prop lumpy air doesn't do it any favors. Of course, the prop already lives in the turbulence of that boxy center section, so there's that. Even the servo installation could stand to be cleaned up. Those stick-on servo covers seem aerodynamically suspect. Then the servo arm, linkage, and control horn are all hanging out, churning up the air. A simple set of fairings would do a lot to smooth out that churn. Even better would be to get them off of the top of the wing altogether. Remember, air is accelerated as it passes over the top of an airfoil. So you've got all that servo cover and linkage stuff sticking out in the same place that the air is speeding up. And because drag is roughly proportional to the square of speed. Basically, as far as trying to minimize drag, that servo installation couldn't be any worse.
I would bet that in order to truthfully make that speed claim, the company would have specifically prepared the model to make it as aerodynamically clean as possible.
They probably also removed all the FPV bits and pieces, and anything that doesn't directly contribute to speed. All things being equal, a lighter plane is a faster plane.
The practice is pretty common place. Full scale aircraft companies have been doing it for as long as there have been aircraft companies.
(Edit for spelling)
You have a very well equipped spares box :D
Very cool stuff
Thanks 😊

First time finding your channel, was very impressive.
Have a cookie. 🍪
Aw thankyou. I shall enjoy my cookie 😂
@@gizfpv 👍🏻
Hey Giz, i just found your channel and am so glad! One question, which one you reccomend for best stable flight high speed cruising long range distance? The AR wing pro, the HeeWing F-01 or the nano drag? Or maybe the TBS caiprinha 2 ? Thanks in advance!!
The Nano Drak, definitely! The TBS Caipirinha is also a good aircraft, but is really hard to launch
very good work 👍😉💪
Thank you 😊
Nice!
Nice build ;)
Thanks! :)
I know near nothing about RC but the vid is so clear on what you're doing (even the floating labels for the contacts!) Dang. Plus, you can fly them that fast???? What the most fun thing to do with those ultra fast ones?
Thanks man! Most fun things to do with high speed RC planes is fly them low to the ground whilst weaving through tree gaps, or chase them with other RC aircraft :)
superb
I've been building & flying quad for years, but now its time to head over to the dark side and build some FPV wings. HeeWing is my first build.
Never built with foam before, and have lots of questions about glue selection [hot or thick CA], laminate or not, etc. Is there a good source for basic stuff like this?
Yes, my channel 😂 But there's several other good channels out there. Off the top of my head there's Andrew Newton, Arxanglerc, adamgdoesfpv, bonefidepirate, rcmodelreviews, flitetest and painless360. You'll also find there's various good Facebook groups worth looking at, such as the inav fixed wing group, long range hooligans and the HeeWing official fpv community.
As for your specific questions, in my opinion the best glue to use is Uhu Por as it's strong and flexible (and cheap) although hotglue and CA also work (however CA will melt some kinds of foam). And as for laminate that's really down to personal preference. It does add a bit of strength to a aircraft and does look nicer, however if you're a careful pilot and not likely to crash often it's probably not something you'll want to waste time doing
Great Presentation
Questions Please
I would like to build a high speed autonomous FPV drone that can travel over 100 miles at the speed shown
in this video with additional payload using Pixhawk or nav flight controller
1. Do I need to enlarge the wingspan and add additional battery?
what would be the formula and/or parameters ??
i love the 400 ft altitude XD
What motor and esc was used in this build?
Haha, nice build!!
We could probably squeeze another 20kph out of it if the antennas were kept internal, or if an aerodynamic nose cone was put in front of the blunt camera position.
200kph is nothing to scoff at with something that draggy :) Very nice build!
The blunt nose is a very odd design decision for a high speed wing. I agree something more pointy and aerodynamic would make more sense. And yeah also agree about the antenna. I was still happy with 200kph though :)
@@gizfpv 220 kph isn't that fast though, blunt makes sense. Look at actual plane nose shapes, most of those fly faster and still have pretty blunt noses. Don't need much curvature until you approach supersonic speeds.
what a organized and clean build !!!! just beautiful !! what tool have you used for crimping cables ?? it`s great. link maybe where you can get it from ??
Thankyou :) The tool is simply called a 'crimping' tool. You can find them online easily. Amazon sells them, as do Hobbyking
@Giz FPV Thanks for the tutorial. What would you recommend for a flying wing for novices?
If you're a complete novice, get a Zohd Dart PNP kit. It's a nice small low power wing that requires minimal assembly. If you have a little building experience however go for a S800. Bit of a bigger wing, and requires some assembly, but its almost indestructible so very forgiving if you're likely to crash a lot :)
That square nose looks like it would knock a lot of top speed off
Yeah you'd think so, but apparently not 🤷♂️
Very nice build. It is so smooth when you have the talent, the spares and the right tools ;) talking about tools: what crimping tool are you using? Thanks :)
It's a crimp tool I got online. Ebay and amazon sell them
Its insane how those foamy planes evolved in a few years
cleanest build of heewing. Lol mine is a messy build but i was able to do 213kmph on this. still do not want to do FPV until i get a tiny ELRS system and a good FPV System
If it looks messy but it works then it's all good 😂 crazy you flew it so fast without fpv though! Mad skills
@@gizfpv yes thats the point that it works. and i am a LOS guy, so i love flying Line of sight. it goes out of my eye sight range just too quick where i lose orientation and i have to rely on my inner judgements and turn it to come for a dive. From your video i saw that you are easily cruising at 100kmph or more. you can go places with a good FPV System my friend. very neat and clean build. keep them coming
Best wing 👍👍👍👍
Cool bro!
Thanks!! 😊
Is there any way to make this build fly far and for a long time?
Noice build
Thanks 😊
wow! there was a lot of setup on that transmitter. Could you show what you need to do on your setup when having a new plane like this? I have no idea what you did
Your official now. Getting free gear to test😏😏😎
I'm super new and was wondering what a good resource is for determining which parts to use and how to program them. Are kit fixed wing drones like this decent for long distance flights that might take a longer time? And can they be programmed to be semi-autonomous (using the gps, etc)?
As a general rule of thumb, fixed wing drones can fly much longer and further than multirotor drones. And any fixed wing drone running Inav firmware can be programmed to fly autonomous way point missions. As for parts, the easiest way to know what is good is to check out what other people are using. But in general for fixed wing you'll want a Matek flight controller and a TBS receiver and video transmitter. For camera either Runcam or Caddx are good brands, and for antennas TrueRC is decent.
Nice build, what crimping tool did you use for your connections? Can you recommend one?
Have a look on Hobbyking. The one I used is the same one they sell 😊
cool to see the build process,
wouldn't be better to use slimmer cables on the xt60? the motor takes all that energy and has much thinner cables, seems you could use thinner cables on the battery too.
