In this video see the two main setups that I use for my Turnigy Bonsai flying wings. We have a METAL fast one and a normal everyday flyer setup. Both are GREAT and they share very similar approaches. press SHOW MORE for the FULL SETUP details.

Baby Bonsai Setup (2S)
================================

This model is the one I fly loads with. It's light & amazing fun:

MODEL:
Bonsai Wing - [ Ссылка ]

MOTOR:
EMAX CF2805 2840KV - [ Ссылка ]

PROP ADAPTER:
The supplies prop saver with the motor above is utter pants, I have never broken a prop with a flying wing EVER, instead use one of these [ Ссылка ] which costs £1 / $2

SERVOS:
Tower Pro MG90S. These are metal geared servos and are cheaper than HobbyKing's cheap plastic geared servos. I buy them in packs of 6 here [ Ссылка ]

PROPELLERS:
I just use spare a quadcopter propelles, such as these 5045's [ Ссылка ]

ESC:
The CF2805 motor is only rated to a max of 14A, so you can easily get away with a 12A ESC. Something like this one [ Ссылка ] would be appropriate or any ESC rated 12A or above with a built-in BEC.

BATTERY:
I use the 1000mAh 2S 25C zippy batteries from HobbyKing here [ Ссылка ]

CARBON FIBER RODS:
I use these in pretty much every model I fly. They are super cheap at less than £3 and are 50cm / 19" long [ Ссылка ]

QUALITY CONTROL HORNS:
The supplied control horns for the Bonsai flying wing will work OK, but I managed to break mine & now prefer to put these in [ Ссылка ] instead because they're far more robust.

TRANSMITTER / RECEIVER:
I use the Taranis Plus here [ Ссылка ] it's amazing & for this model I use the cheap FrSky V8R4-II receivers here [ Ссылка ]


Bonsai FPV Setup
================================

I'm including two setups you can use with the Bonsai, the cheap & light version which is the MC01, the more expensive setup, is frankly way better.

CHEAP SETUP:
I use the eachine MC01 which is way better than the MC02 camera. I bought mine here [ Ссылка ] and a review of the camera is here [ Ссылка ]

EXPENSIVE FPV SETUP:
If you can afford it go for the RunCam Swift (PAL) camera here [ Ссылка ] for all-round image quality it's outstanding.

You will need a separate video transmitter, do check the input voltages needed as my Baby Bonsai I run with 3s (not suggested as it will burn that motor out given enough time).

These are small, light & work well [ Ссылка ] plus have the 5V out for the FPV camera which needs a separate power supply (or use one of these [ Ссылка ] and connect the Runcam directly to the balance lead of your battery).

Note: I also use these [ Ссылка ] but they're not cheap, however don't get as hot as the other two above when in use.

FPV GOGGLES:
I use these Fatshark Dominator V3 [ Ссылка ] however they're expensive, the cheaper goggles such as the VR-007's here [ Ссылка ] work well, I'm super pleased with those.

FPV ANETNNAS:
Aomway 5.8GHz 4 Leaf Clover [ Ссылка ] are the only way to go. Do double check which connector your video transmitter has and get the matching connection (SMA or RP-SMA).

Mental Bonsai Setup 3S
================================
This setup is the same as "Baby Bonsai", but.... the power house is different.

Be very, VERY aware this model is scary fast. It WILL rip the sky a "new one" and is not advised for new pilots.

The motor is the EMAX RS2205 2600Kv [ Ссылка ] with a 5050 tri-blade propeller [ Ссылка ] and a 40A ESC such as this one [ Ссылка ] AND of course a 1300mAh 3S battery.
