HighFlightRC - Caipirinha & Bixler 2 Flight

The 1st video of HighFlightRC!

At first we launched both planes!

Then we started to do normal fun flying!

We then decided to land!

We landed the TBS Caipirinha quite softley but for some reason the landing made the GoPro case fall out.

But the good thing is it's fixed :D

After that we talked about the pros and cons of the planes (also seen below).

Now, here are a few pros and cons of both planes:

1. The Caipirinha needs the weight of the GoPro in the front or else it is extremely tail heavy and it is unflyable.

2. The Bixler 2 needs a bigger motor. When you buy the Bixler 2 it comes with a 1300kv motor and you can not fly with it in that much wind. The motor I suggest using and I am using is a HobbyKing NTM Prop Drive 28-36 2200KV / 696W motor. It can do vertical with a 3s and it's great!

3. The Caipirinha winglets come with adhesive backed velcro, to stick the velcro on the plane and also on the winglet. The thing is the velcro is stronger than the adhesive and when you crash the velcro doesn't come off, the adhesive rips off the plane!

4. The colour of the Caipirinha is very good! The black is good for when your flying on a bright day with cloudy or blue skies! The yellow can be very good in the evening or at twighlight!

5. The Bixler 2's wings are really big! So that means that it is very stable. The more stable it is the easier it is to fly. So that makes the Bixler 2 a very good beginner plane.

6. The Bixler 2's decals are pretty bad quality and they peel off very easily.
