That. Is. Sick. I definitely need one of these
FPV wings are the best break from quads!!!!!
GREAT.. just GREAT!! Just what I need.. another aircraft to have to repair after crashing 😂😂
Looking forward to learning fixed wing fpv
If you want to save money, try foam board options available for a fraction of the price, and quicker to assemble.
WTG Shawn!!! Very comprehensive build and with lotsa super tips 😊
I have been wanting an FPV airplane for a while, but there don't seem to be many. Thanks for putting this together!
Wire-cut foam wings are definitely fading in popularity. The PNP molded foam wings have just gotten so much higher in quality and lower in price the last few years that it’s really tough to compete. But it’s super satisfying to put a good wire-cut build together and the ability to customize means you can get creative if you want.
@@swissfreek I recommend the sonicmodel baby ar wing pro. Just did hours of research and came to choose that model
@@chrisbee5481for a first wing? I dunno. I’d say AR Classic. Everyone should have one. But I’m partial to wire cut builds and if you’re looking to get into that, this RR kit looks really straightforward and well put together.
@@swissfreek well, I think the classic or even the new white version is great. Actually the atomrc dolphin is also probalbly one of the best on the top list I would get.
Thing is these wings are really big and heavy. Kinda scarry for a beginner and could potentially cause more damage in a crash.
So for me the baby ar wing pro seems the most portable and best for a beginner. I carry my quads in a backpack and cycle out to the field. You cant do that with a big wing
@@chrisbee5481 it’s relative. The AR classic at 35” to me is a mid-size wing, but then my favorite wing is 52” and I’ve got stuff as big as 90” and as small as 18”. I think 35” is about the perfect balance of having room to mess around inside without everything being super tight, easy to hit CG, decent in a crash, big enough to not get pushed by every gust of wind, but small enough to launch easily with one hand and can still fit basic 5” quad motor/ESC/battery/prop that are easily available everywhere. And it comes apart if you want to fit it in a bag. And it’s cheaper than dirt.
Best man on RR !
This new wing looks clean. Still haven't killed the wing I built with you at Rampage.. yet 😂
Wow. Impressive
This guy rules.
fpv wings are so underrated, i must say i had more fun with a few friends and a bunch of wings in the air then a drone.
This is one build I really enjoyed watching to the end. Thank you LFRC
pretty sure Shelby Voll has build videos, with the same wing or a very comparable setup, but still petty good, dont know why folks say "finally" and what not. Wings and wing build videos have been around for quite sometime
I started with planes....I fly 3d aerobatics(low post stall flught) and xa (extreme aerobatics) high speed tumbles super fast snaps ect. But drones are super fun too and way more durable
Awesome! Fixed wing FPV is super fun!
speedybee 405wing and gps and inav perfect
Matek f411-wing would bé better... The Speedybee is too big
very nice
Thats a super cool camera vtx mount you could basically put on anything you want. Awesome design!
Great video Shawn! Always wanted to try a wing. You made it nice and simple to follow. 🎉
The gardener called and fined you for spraying glue into the plants ;) but REALLY, thank you for this video and build as ONE simple quick easy follow along build video. This is HUGE, cuz nobody else has done a build video like this before. I can see this will become not only a huge video over the years, but i bet you will sell a lot of these wings because of it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
Thank You for noticing. I also knew this video needed to be made. ;)
love wing forever❤
Nice! Reminds me of my good old MSComposit Swift wing.
Love seeing this guy on camera!
Glad you guys are getting in to selling wings hopfully this will expand more i get my drones from you guys would be nice to get my planes as well
This looks a little too advanced for my little brain, but I still get stoked for EVERY build Shawn is involved with!
It looks way worse than it really is. Just a little patience and attention to detail. It’s also not as exacting as it looks. You can get away with a lot of fudging/imprecision if the basics are correct. Downside is yeah it doesn’t just bolt together like the quads.
Start with foam board. Flite Test sells the Arrow as well as others. Much cheaper and easier to build.
Awesome
Loved this, very informative watched the whole thing. Shawn said airframe like 475 times almost 5x a minute. Educated i iz
Lol. Drinking game. 😂
✈️
your one of my favorite pilots!
Glad to see other people in FPV are also using Harbor Freight tools! (Warrior brand reciprocating saw blade)
zero flight footage, awesome work guys 👍👍🤣🤣
I'm flying CTH hobbies atm, hope you don't mind, but you guys have some great wings and I come to your site for information.
My brain hurts but im building one
Looks verrrry similar to the RiteWing VollStyle....just smaller
Yes. Shelby and I are good friends and have similar interests and flying needs. ;). Same manufacturer made both wings to our specifications.
Lmao 😂
Looks a nice build, thankgod you kept with no fc, your the fc when it comes to rc aircraft and it's easy to fly compared to quads.
Where did you get those green light strips? They look great
my new project: make this rc wing
8:30 With Welder’s getting harder and harder to find over the last few years, a good alternative is either FoamTac, which you can usually get at your local hobby shop (or online), *or* better still, you can pick up Aleene’s Ultimate at craft stores (Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, Jo-Ann, possibly even Walmart). Both Aleene’s Ultimate and FoamTac are contact cements like Welder’s, which makes them great for this sort of task (joining the wing halves together where it’s tricky to pin them if the glue takes a while to set like Gorilla or E6000/Goop), but way way easier to find, and in my experience they don’t get yellow and brittle over time like Welder’s will. Just a tip for newer folks who might be like “WTF is Welder’s???”
UHU por if you can get it
@@WipeoutFPV yeah, in Europe that’s your best bet. Welder’s hasn’t been available there for ages, and from what I can tell E6000/Goop and Gorilla Glue are also tough to find?
Does UHU Por have the same contact cement properties as Welder’s and FoamTac? As I recall it didn’t, but I haven’t used it in decades. If it does, that’s definitely a good option.
Foam2foam works awesome
I don't think I'm a good enough pilot to keep this in one piece. I'm patiently waiting for a mini tanq to come out, that's more my speed.
Still working on that. ;)
Would love to buy this as a RTF/BNF. Any possibility of that?
If you want to try before you get this awesome kit try the FT Arrow. 2$ in foam. Then upgrade to this.
I loved the arrow. Great plane. Just not durable enough
@@LetsFlyRC yah crash hard enough needs full rebuild.
about bloody time hehehehe... i'm guessing a ritespec or other spec wing ?
ThanQs. It is a completely new design, by RiteWing, to my specifications.
Can you pretty please do video with an iNav controller like SpeedyBee system?
I really wish wings had the appeal of quads… this one looks PERFECT. I guess they are just hard to build.
is there a BNF version? I would like to learn from there.
I wish it were possible. I thought long and hard about what type of wing to bring to the store. Unfortunately, with airplanes, you either get durability or ease of build. Typically the quick bnf planes aren’t durable. It takes soooooo long to build these wings, the labor time would be very expensive.
I used the v3 nano unit, but it burnt when I plugged it in. The wing controls still work but it burnt the unit up.
The ER4 has voltage telemetry which you can set up to give low voltage warnings. It's cool that walksnail shows voltage without an FC but seems unnecessary in your build. If you haven't flown a wing before you are a brave person or rich putting expensive HD FPV gear on the nose. Be wise to go with cheap old analog until you get the hang of it.
This tpu mount protects your expensive digital fpv gear
Motor mount looks like Ritewing, developed by Chris Klick at all ?
If I’m not mistaken it is produced in collaboration with RiteWing. It’s not just the motor mount, you can tell by how the bays are already cut and the “dashed line” thing he did for the LED channels.
Yes. The Chris and I worked together on this one to create the perfect design for what I wanted.
The name “Riot Wing” is kind of a tribute to where it originated. ;)
If u change the prop and the nut turns the opposite of its usual orientation will it cause the prop to come loose easier?
On landing that would be a potential problem in the past - before we started using locking nuts on our motors. I never have this problem since we started using locking nuts
@@LetsFlyRC good to know thanks
No maiden flight?
I know. I’m sorry. 😞
This video took 3 days to film - in pieces - and our camera guy came from an hour away each time. I will definitely have more footage coming.
Most of us plane flyers dint need telemetry we set a timer...especially my gas planes where u can't have telemetry fkr fuel tank
1:50 aka DJI IS EVIL
dude, where is the flight footage?
Ok but how does it fly. Send one to Shelby to rip.
If you're going to these lengths to build a wing, you'd be better off building a hot wire cnc to make your own wings and fuselages.
How to burn your mom's wooden table in 3 easy steps.
if it wasn't 20 degrees outside rn, it would be in my cart already :(
Fly from the front seat of your car. That's what I do
@@DucksauceFPV my shoulder hurts just thinking about trying to launch a wing from my car lol
@@shellbournian you don't throw it just set them straight up and down
@@DucksauceFPV literally never considered that. I always launched my wing like a discus 😬
@@shellbournian it works if you don't wanna throw it
one inverted crash and that nose might come right off
Could have flown it
I know. I’m sorry. I wanted to do a maiden on camera, but, this video took 3 days to film and our camera guy drove an hour each day to come film.
@@LetsFlyRC dude I know if anyone could build a wing that I would want to fly it would have to be one of yours that's why I wanted to see it rip! lol
$200? for a hot wire cut thing that i need to spend a whole day getting it built? lol f that! i can get a atomrc swordfish for $200 in pnp, or a dolphin in rth kit thats fully pre built
Fly it into a parking garage wall and count the pieces that are left. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@LetsFlyRC I'll count them while hot gluing it back together, also it's not like one will explode while the other won't, so I don't see your point, I can get a moulded smooth clean nice looking airframe that's stronger due to its smooth surface that doesn't want to rip that I can also laminate, vs a hot wire cut thing that if you want a decently aerodynamic airframe you have to laminate, something that requires this much work from the end user should be cheap, I don't see any value here, nor do I see the point of your response since it will kill both aircraft and both cost the se for a replacement airframe lol I'll take a dolphin or swordfish or like 100 other planes for the same money over this thing all day long. Heck you could have 3d printed moulds that would make a nicer product, hot wire planes are only good for diy or prototyping, you really should be selling a better quality product for the money, the amount of offcuts wasted foam you want me to pay for is unreal, and I expect better from not just rotor riot, but you Shawn especially.
@@christhorney I am not telling you to buy anything. Nor, do I set the prices. The price is based off of what it cost, plus a minimal profit.
I am telling you that my wing WILL survive most concrete impacts, as I have done it over and over many times flying through parking garages with this plane.
I wanted to build a plane that was more durable than what I normally fly, so that I can do more difficult proximity flights without having to repair my plane after every crash.
You can keep being mad if you want, but, I usually build things that I want FOR ME, FOR MY NEEDS, and usually other people tend to appreciate my efforts as they are usually done because I am trying to make something better than it was previously to advance the hobby, or to help new pilots succeed.
If you don’t appreciate my efforts, that is fine. Keep flying what you want to fly. I didn’t do anything wrong. I provided input, tested and designed a wing that was right for my needs. And it flies like it is on rails and can take a hit.
@@LetsFlyRC and all i said is f paying $200 for it because it doesnt suit me and what i want to fly, i also didnt do anything wrong, just gave my opinion about $200 being too much for me to consider paying for this wing brother, then you wanted to put a stupid comment about counting chunks, sparking me to spew out a novel, not everyone is going to want the same thing as you, espesh for $200, i dont remember you saying ANY of that in the video, and how many pilots are flying their wings through parking garages? if i want to fly proxy and acro i fly my quads, i fly my planes a lot more chill, and i live in rural area flying around trees and grassy paddocks, so to me, $200 is way too much, get the f over it and dont get butt hurt bc i think its too expencive lol for me, my statement still stands, it would be far more durable if it was molded, and typical planes are far stonger if you also laminate them lol, i do like you and your quad, i just think this plane is over priced and personally i wont buy one, you dont have to have literally everyone in the world sit there brushing your ego do you? seriously
kept watching hoping to see that thing fly 😞
$99 for a foam kit?.. Must be smoking rocks. S800 reptile $35. Built like a tank, tried and tested. Thank me later..😉
Cool looking plane, but, it doesn’t check the same boxes. Will be in pieces first time it hits a tree or a pole.
@@LetsFlyRC That's where the S800 shines. Iv had several and still got two. I once clipped a lampost at 80% throttle and it just bounced of leaving a small dent to the trailing edge. Built like a tank
this might be a replacement for my first rite wing spec that has seen better days thats for sure @letsflyrc
ps never bind a drone. wing or plane with the prop on never
I asked the editor to add a written on screen note - hopefully that made it into the final cut😊
not what i wanted when searching riot wing...
Sure, no flight….
I know. I’m sorry. I wanted to do a maiden on camera, but, this video took 3 days to film and our camera guy drove an hour each day to come film.
