Overview:
The Opterra 2m flying
wing is the collaborative effort of George Hicks and Mike McConville - two of
model aviation's premier aircraft designers. Together, they have created some
of the best flying RC airplanes in the world. This one is no exception. Its
lightweight construction, long wingspan and efficient aerodynamics give it a
wide range of capabilities that includes everything from sport aerobatics to
soaring. It even gives you the ability to put yourself in the pilot's seat with
FPV gear while using a GoPro Hero 3, Hero 4 or similar class camera to record
HD video at the same time.* This Bind-N-Fly version comes with the added
benefit of a Spektrum AS3Xreceiver that features optional SAFE Select
technology.
Advanced Aerodynamics
and Lightweight Construction:
- Central to the
aircraft's amazing capabilities are the advanced aerodynamics that shaped its
design. In addition to its efficient airfoil, winglets and fins on the fuselage
help the model track true in all kinds of air. Vortex generators near the
leading edge of the top of the wing, and just ahead of the elevons on the
bottom of the wing, enhance slow speed stability and control. The airframe
itself is constructed of carbon-reinforced, hollow-core Z-Foam material that
keeps weight to a minimum while maintaining strength and rigidity.
Easy to Assemble and
Transport:
- One of the model's most
impressive features is how easy it makes it for you to take it with you
anywhere. Its plug-in wing panels and winglets are secured with thumbscrews so
assembly or disassembly can be done in a matter of minutes. And the box it
comes in is designed to function as a carrying case complete with a handle.
AS3X Receiver with
Optional SAFE Select Technology:
- The model's AS3X
(Artificial Stabilization - 3-aXis) receiver works behind the scenes to smooth
out the effects of wind and turbulence. The result is a sense of stability and
precision that makes you feel like you're flying an expertly tuned aircraft.
- This receiver also
features optional SAFE Select technology that you can turn on and off with the
flip of a transmitter switch. With SAFE Select technology activated, you get:
Pitch and Bank Angle
Limits:
- These keep the aircraft from rolling or pitching upside
down. They also prevent excessive climb or dive angles during launch and
landing.
Automatic Self-Leveling:
- Instantly returns the wings to level when the sticks
are released.
- During launch, you can turn SAFE Select technology on
to keep the wing level and in the perfect climb attitude until you get
both hands back on the controls. If you are flying FPV with a headset,
activating SAFE Select technology will allow you to relax and enjoy the
view without worrying about trying to stay level or getting disoriented
and losing control.
High-Output Brushless
Power System with Folding Prop:
- The high-output power
system provides more than enough power for carrying camera payloads or
performing sport aerobatics. When you want to power off and grab a thermal, the
folding prop reduces drag so you can glide longer.
Up to 3 Camera Mounting
Stations Available:
- In addition to a sleek,
low-drag nose for soaring and flying aerobatics, the Opterra wing includes an
optional camera nose with up to two forward-facing stations for FPV or HD
cameras. There is also a downward-looking camera bay in the belly designed for
GoPro Hero 3, Hero 4 and similar HD cameras .
The camera nose includes
four foam inserts.
- Insert for GoPro Hero 3 and Hero 4 Cameras
- Insert for the recommended Spektrum FPV camera (see
below)
- Insert for other FPV cameras
- Blank insert that can be custom cut for other payloads
It also has an external
mounting station for low-profile Mobius or Legend HD cameras. This allows
pilots to mount an HD camera on top of the nose and an FPV camera in the nose.
