Summary:
easy to control flying-wing without virtical surface at all
the warperon works well
factory recommended BL power system is lightweight and highly efficient
Strengths:
wide speed range
no tip stall tendencies
light, strong and shock proof construction
servos factory pre-installed
no glue or adhesive needed to build
easy to assemble/ disassemble with no special tools
Weaknesses:
none for flying performance but as no protection for underside and the LensRC BL motor easily sucks dirt or sand (see photo above), you should land on grass or catch the airplane.
Overall rating:
AAAA (four of five)
