Pilot-rc 2.2m Matrix “Maiden flight”

Banana Hobby 2024-01-05 | It’s that time we all have been waiting for!
The maiden flight of the new Pilot-rc 2.2m Matrix. Join us as Team Pilot Warren Bio take to the sky with the Matrix. In this video Warren demonstrates all the preparations he takes to ensure a successful maiden flight. Beginning with an extensive ground checks to include a taxi test and brakes check. Once he is confident that the jet is ready, he begins all his pre-flight checks. The Matrix performed very well with a 120n turbine at sea level. All that was required was 2 clicks of up elevator trim and the matrix was locked in flying straight as an arrow. The matrix demonstrated exceptional flight characteristics with a wide flight envelope. It was evident during the several flights that day that the matrix not only like to fly fast, but also handles very slow speed with ease. We at Bananahobby thank you for following the build series of the new Pilot-rc Matrix.

Available for preorder on our website with 4 color schemes to choose from.

Xfly Swift 2100 Quick Flight Review

Banana Hobby 2023-05-02 | Xfly Swift 2100 Quick Flight Review

XFly Model is proud to announce their first RC glider Swift 2100 that is easy to hand launch, quick to build and fun to fly! CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) was first used in the aircraft design by XFly team, which has enabled the Swift 2100 to achieve high lift-to-drag ratio and excellent aerodynamic characteristics.

The Swift 2100 features tough, composite-reinforced EPO foam and precisely positioned carbon fiber reinforcement throughtout. The factory -installed power system, including an efficient 3136-KVlOOO brush less motor and a 40A brush less ESC, paired with a 3S or 4S Lipo battery, delivers plenty of thrust for fast climbs to soaring altitude, sport flying and aerobatics.

The Swift 2100's efficient aerodynamic design provides extended flight times up to 10-30mins with a mix of power on/off. The bottom wheel and plastic components on the wingtips and the tail allow the pilots to land on hard surface. Wing connectors and glueless design facilitate fast and easy assembly - only 6 screws needed to get the Swift 2100 ready to fly.

In addition, pilots can remove the folding propeller and add the optional nacelle(with XFly Galaxy 50mm EDF 4S power system installed) to the top of the fuselage for a different flying experience. FPV setup is also feasible with the optional canopy and servo-equipped camera mount available from XFly Model!

Feature:
5 Operable Channels (Aileron, Elevator, Throttle, Rudder, Flaps)
XFly team used CFD in aircraft design, allowing the Swift 2100 to achieve a high lift-to-drag ratio and excellent aerodynamic characteristics
Tough, composite-reinforced EPO foam and precisely positioned carbon fiber reinforcement throughtout. The unqiue docking design of the wing spars frees the main wing from distortion when overloaded
Composite-reinforced EPO foam and precisely positioned carbon fiber reinforcement, with a unique docking design of the wing spars that prevents main wing distortion when overloaded
Factory-installed 3136-KV1000 brushless motor, 40A brushless ESC, and 3S or 4S Li-po battery, provides ample thrust for quick climbs, sport flying, and aerobatics
Efficient aerodynamic design, 2-blade folding propeller, and metal spinner produce a unique and pleasant sound during high-speed flights
The wingtip and tail plastic components, along with the bottom wheel, enable pilots to make hard surface landings
The latch-type top hatch provides convenient access to the capacious battery compartment, which accommodates a 3S/4S 2200-3300mAh Li-po battery for extended flight times
RC pilots can replace the propeller with the optional nacelle(sold separately) that equipped with the XFly Galaxy 50mm EDF 4S power system on the top of the fuselage to enjoy a distinct flying experience
FPV hobbyists can install the optional canopy and servo-equipped camera mount from XFly Model to enable an FPV setup
