    SonicModell Dart XL EV 1000mm (39.37") - PNP from ZOHD - ZOH10042


    The ZOHD DART XL "Enhanced" Version is an updated version of the ZOHD Dart XL Extreme. Vortex generators, detachable wings, and vertical fins are what give this airplane an outstanding lift performance! The "Enhanced" version of this PNP comes with a new motor mount that is stronger and durable. Also added is a GPS bay cover, built-in carbon fiber rod inside the fuselage, optimized airfoil, extended dock for the flight controller, extended plywood for battery, extra ball linkage inside the package, and a built-in carbon fiber strip inside the rear hatch for just to list some of the improvements.
    Easy Assembly and Transport


    The detachable wing and vertical fins makes the Dart XL easy to transport.
    Durable EPO Construction


    Molded by tough EPO material, built-in CF spar for enhancement, stable flying capability and impact resistance.
    Large Battery Bay


    The Dart XL incorporates a large battery bay for your chosen FPV equipment and electronics.

    I ordered this and it did not come with any manual that I could find. Where is the CG supposed to be?

        Can anyone tell me what this plane is made from? Is it really EPO or is it BEPP?

          It says EPO and that is what mine appears to be.

            That is good to hear. The first version was made from BEPP which is not very durable in my opinion. I had a plane that was EPP foam and when it broke it would turn into little beads. Also I could not get paint to stick to it at all.

              This is a RC FPV platform and performs very well in lower winds up to 15MPH. From 15 to 25 MPH winds it can still be flown however video is very difficult to get useable on board clips. Love the simple design and works great for the first time FPV platform.

                Do you have a gyro on it? I feel the same way, but haven't gotten a chance to try with a gyro. A gyro with a GoPro in the nose would probably stabilize the picture at higher speeds

                  Indeed I used a Spektrum AR 637T and changed the Speed Control to a Spektrum Avian 40 Amp tp take advantage of AS3X and real time Battery Voltage . I used a Runcam2 However I am willing to try a GoPro, I need to check them out. (Thanks for the Advise)

                    The built in stabilization of the gopro alone is worth the price over a runcam for this type of application.
