ZOHD DART XL EXTREME (ENHANCED FPV WING): ESSENTIAL RC FLIGHT TEST
AVAILABLE HERE: www.banggood.com/custlink/mDD...
ZOHD have listened to feedback about the original Dart XL and improved it. Improvements include,
- New designed motor mount, much more strong and durable.
- Add GPS bay and cover.
- Built-in Carbon Fiber rod inside fuselage.
- Optimized airfoil.
- Extend dock for Flight Controller.
- Extend the plywood for battery.
- Extra ball linkage inside package.
- Built-in Carbon Fiber strip inside rear hatch for enhancement.
Original features of the Dart XL have been preserved and include,
Features:
- Small size airframe optimized for long range FPV and portability.
- Carefully chosen airfoil gives the aircraft an incredible lift power and excellent handling
- Detachable wing and vertical fins make it portable for an easy transport and deploy
- Light-weight composite hard nose for better protection of your expensive camera gear
- Multi-camera nose compatible with 99% of the FPV and HD cameras in the market: Runcam HD, 2, 3S, Swift, Split, GoPro H4-5-6-7, Session and much more!
- Reversed wingtips, provide more lift force and ensure a super efficient wing surface
- Vortex generators for improving lift efficiency and gain higher control at low speeds. Use them straight and you will have even better Yaw stability!
- Load it as much you want with a huge equipment bay!
- Computer designed optimized air flow pod, that maximizes cooling, reducing the risk of crashes for overheated electronics
- Impact resisstant protection cover for mainwings leading edge and landing skids
- Built-in carbon fiber tube inside mainwings for enhanced performance and rigidity
- Exclusive VTX / RX bays with excellent air flow and away from interferences
- Full spare parts supply, worry free fun. Fly it like you stole it!
As soon as it was launched I found the Dart XL to be super stable in the air despite not having any form of onboard flight stabilisation. This would make a great long range FPV platform as it can carry large batteries for extended flight times.

Great review. Keen to see you take it for a run with FPV gear installed.

Great review, seems to be a very good FPV platform. I'll take a closer look at it. Thanks and Regards 🙂👍👍👍
Very cool. Love this plane. 😊🛫

2020 has been my flying year strangely...if only because there have been no shows or events to go and film at. Really enjoying doing all the flying at our local field. Has reminded me how much I enjoy flying RC.

Essential RC that’s really good. I guess sometimes for you going to show too show, you forget you love flying as well. At least you helping the RC community 👍🏻

I’m finding ARFs that I would need to install a power system too, what size brushless motor comes with the PnP version?
I wish i had one

Hi
Very fast! Your decal flew off

I know!! Maybe I should slow down!!!
Is that plane really as noisy as I perceived it on the video? Interesting it's so stable, it looks like a difficult plane to control. Thanks for the review but Banggood is off my list until they get caught up on backorders and faster shipping. Two to three months is too long for me to wait. I'm American after all...I want it yesterday. Haha.

We had a loose decal flapping around so that would have created a little bit of extra noise. Sorry to hear you've had problems with shipping. I guess with COVID that's a problem not just limited to Banggood. I tend to get my orders from them in 2 weeks if by air. I'm no different. If I order I want it next day or sooner.

Hi , great plane but how is it possible to land and avoid the propeller touch the ground and detroy the plane? Thanks

It has runners underneath that prevents the propellor hitting the ground
What transmitter are you using with that ZOHD Dart?
@EssentialRC
4 жыл бұрын
My trusty Spektrum DX18 Gen1 but I use that for everything. You could use any transmitter with V-tail options to fly this.
would you still recommend this fixed wing in 2023?
@EssentialRC

Yes...its still a good wing for FPV. Very stable and easy to fly. Good quality kit but all ZOHD stuff is good. Lots of space inside so easy install and can take large lipo.
there is a camera ??
@EssentialRC

Not included...but you could put any FPV or action camera in it if you have one. It is designed to have a lot of weight up front to achieve the recommended CG balance.
How’s does a PNP work im new

A 'kit' is just the foam aeroplane and hardware/linkages. 'PNP' comes with everything in the kit plus servos, motor and ESC. You will still need receiver, transmitter and flight battery.
Too bulky for me I say but still a good flyer

Wings slot on and off with no screws so easy to transport...and it's so stable because of its size. 😉

Actually, pusher props are noisy by nature, since they’re working in the interrupted airflow coming over the wing. I have some pushers, and they’re noticeably louder than my regular planes. But yeah, loose decals don’t help. ;-)

"coordination between motor and propeller" what does that mean? 😆 I think the prop needed a bit of balancing but otherwise pushers tend to be noisy.

"... coordination between motor and propeller", means, @@EssentialRC, ... there is a connection between the speed (RPM) of the engine and the propeller (... size and pitch ...) that must be observed, otherwise there will be loud "super sonic sound effects", similar to a cavitation problem with fast motor boats props, the aircraft's propeller then only generates a lot of noise and less thrust ... Unbalance can of course also produce noises, I thought you had already balanced the propeller on the shaft by turning it piece by piece... ... but I'm not really an expert in this field, I only know this from the time of flight - combustion engines, if you are interested you should read more about this topic ... ... gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen der Drehzahl (U/min) des Motors und dem Propeller (... Größe und Steigung ...), der unbedingt beachtet werden muss, sonst kommt es zu lauten "Überschalleffekten", ähnlich einem Kavitationsproblem bei schnellen Motorbooten, der Propeller erzeugt beim Flugzeug dann nur noch viel Lärm und weniger Schub ... Unwucht kann natürlich auch Geräusche erzeugen, ich dachte du hättest den Propeller auf der Welle durch stückweises verdrehen schon ausgewuchtet ... ... aber ich bin nicht wirklich ein Experte auf diesem Gebiet, kenne dieses nur aus der Zeit der Flug - Verbrennermotoren, bei Interesse sollten Sie sich in dieses Thema tiefer einlesen ...
