TA Wing V1 - Review and stats!

Image
The V1 of this aircraft is finally out. I have a planned V2 and V3 which will be released soon. Here are some stats: Top speed: 43 Km/h Ceiling: Above restricted ceiling - cannot test Turning radius: About 2 meters Stall speed: currently undetermined, but about 7-10 km/h Stall characteristics: Nose pitches down, recovers quickly.  AUW: Currently undetermined Propulsion: 10x4.5 propeller, 750 kV motor, 18A ESC, 5200 mAh Cruising speed: Currently undetermined, but about 15 km/h Cruising Amp Draw: 4.2 amps Amp Draw at Stall Speed: 3.6 amps Amp Draw at Full Throttle: 13 amps Aspect Ratio: About 2.6 Glide Slope (Post micro stall recovery): 7 meters Credit to Alexander Frigault for writing a stabilization code on an arduino board for this aircraft, he will release the code soon as well. The accelerometer is an ADXL345 board. The chevron wing extenders allow me to pull the main wing back to the point where it allows the aircraft to provide some pitch stability,
