Flying the Shaka RC plane

In this video I will fly the Shaka from FlightPoint and share my tips & tricks around this flying wing. The Shaka features a classic balsa construction, reinforced with carbon fiber tube spars and leading edge. The kit consists of high quality laser cut balsa and plywood parts, carbon tubes and a complete accessory set.

The model and the flight characteristics are both quite impressive. However, my attention was drawn to the beauty of your flying field and the surrounding area.
What a glorious bit of countryside!

Your build video really paid off with your flying the Shaka.. I really enjoyed living in your Country years ago.

Excellent!! Great to see it flying after watchinv the construction video.

Many thanks for the video. I fly an unpowered Shaka at the slope, it flies well on a no so windy day, you are correct about the elevator throws, quite sensitive.
I think that the fitting of the motor and esc must have been tight, there`s not much room in the fuselage.

Great inflight and related video. Nice editing of what I suspect is a number of flights. All seems seamless and smooth. The onboard views are amazing, like riding along.
The camera mount idea and print is brilliant. Concerning drag, and weight, there is a smaller camera option available (runcam).

Sehr geil! Welches Material nutzt du im 3D Drucker?
