camera on wingo crash
Here is a crash of my buds Wingo.The camera is on board and pointing out under the left wing. At the end he does a loop and the Wingo goes into the dreaded tuck. There where no survivors

RE: camera on wingo crash
Yep the orange plane is my old T-hawk, loved that plane, great to learn on and fun to fly DURABLE !Did allot of mods to improve the performance, flies nice w 3cell lipo kokam and 7.2v brushed, just all alittle cooling. It's hard to make the wing strong enough to handle the load but it really is a great starter. Sold it to one of my friends to infect them with this addiction as well

Wingo's where bieng sold by Hobby lobby but they discontinued them last year, big wing and stable but they have one bad habbit of going into a tuck if ya loop um (see video....he he)

Cool looking warbird t-hawk, here is my t-hawk,
chg prop, add cooling, 7.2v grauper400,3 cell kokam 1500. Crashed a few by snapping wings but she did not owe me anything. Fun plane and a great place to start, It was hard for me to let her go.

RE: camera on wingo crash
that was the last flight of the wingo, he rebuilt the plane w a new foam blank. It's a good camera platform as it has allot of space upfront and can handle a bit of weight. HL does not sell um anymore, I think Coleseman, a greman company was the MFG, they made my projetti wich is my favorite. Sadly they went out of busness

I think the SoarStar (a Wingo clone) is still available. I see it over at ehobbies.com. The SoarStar is basically the same as the Wingo, and I've heard it comes with a better engine/gear setup.
