Alightwing Flikwing Airframe: Your Micro FPV Addiction Starts Here (Choose Assembled or DIY Kit!)
Meet the Flikwing by Alightwing - the tiny terror that's taken the FPV world by storm (sometimes literally, into actual storms, or maybe just trees). Born from a collaboration with the FPV minds at RC Test Flight, this 19-inch wingspan EPP wing is engineered for maximum fun and minimum weight, becoming a fast favourite for micro FPV antics.
Whether you secretly relish the smell of foam glue in the morning or just want to skip ahead to the flying part, we've got you covered. Choose your path to Flikwing glory:
- Unassembled Kit: For the purists, the tinkerers, the "I built this!" heroes. Get all the quality EPP foam parts and carbon fiber hardware. You bring the glue, electronics, and patience.
- Assembled Airframe: For those who prefer electrons to adhesives. We handle the gluing and basic assembly. You just need to install your chosen power system, radio gear, and FPV setup. Get airborne faster!
No matter which you choose, you're getting a platform designed for agile FPV flight.
Why the Flikwing Airframe Rules:
- Pocket Rocket Performance: Its compact 19" (500mm) wingspan is small enough to zip through tight gaps yet surprisingly stable for smooth cruising or proximity flying.
- Sub-250g Potential: Build it carefully with lightweight components, and you stand a good chance of keeping your All-Up-Weight (AUW) under the 250-gram threshold. This can mean fewer regulations in many places! ( Always check your local laws - don't blame us if you get grounded! )
- Built Like a Tiny EPP Tank: Crafted from durable EPP foam combined with strategically placed carbon fiber reinforcements (main spar, aileron spars, canopy tabs). It's designed to bounce back from those ahem unexpected landings.
- FPV Ready Design: Thoughtfully designed with space to accommodate modern FPV gear, including popular HD systems like the DJI O3 Air Unit. Cutouts and internal space help make installation cleaner.
- Versatile Flyer: While amazing for FPV, it can be set up for simple line-of-sight cruising or configured with flight controllers (like iNav/ArduPilot) for GPS features, stabilization, and return-to-home functionality.
