I've had this EDF wing for several years now, but it's never had any spotlight time until now. This is absolutely one of my favorite and unique wings that I've kept to myself from Facebook / YouTube until my friend Robert decided to record my flight yesterday. The grass was also at the right height and smoothness to attempt a take-off from, as well as a touch and go. Very much to my surprise, both were easy to do, and is another fun/unique feature from this already cool EDF wing.

It's a shame that there aren't many (if at all) of these EDF wings in production anymore. Despite the poor TechOne equipment it came out of the box with (a stock motor lead that had a wire separate on inspection, malfunctioning ESC, and a busted plastic servo), The Neptune is really a brilliant EDF Wing design that comes alive when quality internals are installed. I'm hoping that there will be an EDF wing re-release of something like it from one of the current reputable manufacturers in the future.

I flew this wing for about a year on 3s, and loved it. Then I upgraded to 4s and, HOLY CRAP! Turned it into a rocket! I love doing the ground takeoffs, really freaks people out! LOL! Its a shame they dont make them anymore.

Derick--Nicely done sir. How you keep orientation is amazing in itself... I haven't gotten the nerve to try a flying wing. Excellent job. :)

I am trying the find a 18awg wire that is long enough to reach from the motor to ESC (about 8"). I have the same motor you are using. Any ideas where to find the extension wire?
