Greetings,.
Well hopefully this will fill out over time.
I've a prop, Neptune on the way from Motion RC.
I've had, totaled, " Pilot Error", a edf version. 2 years ago. Will invest in another edf when they notify back in stock at Motion RC.

Over time I've moved to mostly wings in general.
..economical, an forgiving, in flight.
Also have 3 xk520's VTOL planesFROM Motion,. Awsome Tech on those,.
will review the Neptune prop as time goes on.
Hopefully more pilots will jump on board.

Hello guys,

Recently got a Skynetic Neptune II and just wanted to share a little bit on it. Easiest build I have done in years, if you like that kind of thing. Setup went fast even with installing the Admiral RX600SP gyro receiver and using my Spektrum DX6e. I used normal wing type in the radio and Delta mix in the receiver. Easy to transport and store. Toss and Boss flight character. Very sturdy design and it looks great. Fun to fly. Even in a limited space like a small park. Half tempted to take it on a camping trip if I can find a meadow or grass area to fly in. Good value for the money. There is a nice plastic grab raised area underneath it, that makes hand launching as easy as can be. If you have never had a wing, this would be a great one to start with.

Hello everyone,

I have a Neptune V2 being delivered today. Never flew a wing before and this intermediate pilot is excited to learn and experience one. I've probably researched flying wings way too much, but there is no mention of adding any reflex in the instruction manual. Should reflex be added and if so, how much? Any advice or thoughts on helping with my trip down wing lane would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much,
Spin
