The E-flite Opterra 2m BNF Basic Electric Flying Wing with AS3X and SAFE technology is an exciting combined effort of George Hicks and Mike McConville – two of model aviation’s premier aircraft designers. Together, they have created some of the most dynamic flying RC airplanes on the market. This big flying wing has a wide range of capabilities that include everything from sport aerobatics to soaring.
Central to the aircraft’s amazing capabilities are lightweight construction, long wingspan and efficient, 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.
This craft also 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. Multiple camera mounting stations are available, allowing you to fly FPV and record HD video at the same time. This Bind-N-Fly version comes with the added benefit of a Spektrum AS3X receiver that features optional SAFE Select technology for more novice flyers.
The camera nose includes four foam inserts:
- Insert for GoPro Hero 3 and Hero 4 Cameras
- Insert for 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.
