Of all the wings I’ve left in trees this is the one I miss the most.

[olegeau]

Yeah this F405 is definitely a woman 😀 Bought a couple of them to put one in the T1 for my son. I’m new to the hobby but channels like yours make the entry as a pure pleasure. Thanks! 😍

Thank you for the video. I'm at the stage where I'd like to try wings and fpv (so far I've only flown with a drone) and this is perfect video for me (alongside community picks). To make matters better, I managed to buy two new darts on secondhand market :)

I still have one of these brand new in the box. Your video has reignited my interest for building it and making it fly. Very interested in Walksnail, but can't afford it right now, so I'll stick with analog. Great video Lee! Thanks!

[IceMan]

That's a sweet fpv plane to be that small. Great planning on setting this bird❤

[BOTGRINDER]

awesome, i just put hdz on a new long range quad i built and im excited to see the results.

[FPVinPA]

Seems that I've been missing all of the fun because I've got an original Dart V2, new in box bought back in 2019 or earlier, that has never been built out. Darren, aka Mr. D - Falling with Style, also loves his Dart V2, and displays his wing in the background of many of his videos.

I recently put in a preorder for a set of HDZero goggles and several of their various vtx units, so you have inspired me to add the Dart V2 to my flying wings. Thanks!

[MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Lee! 😃
As my other comment disappeared, I've found the Dart 250g available, but now I see it's not it. 😬
There's the ATOMRC Mobula as well, but I don't remember much about it.
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Very nice plane. Did you know that it has 2 lead weights foamed in the nose, total 40 grams? Removed mine and on 3S 18650 it's good for 30 min fun. Bought mine a few years ago second hand with an Omnibus F3. Changed parts over the years. Now it has a Runcam Thumb Pro on top of the nose. I'll keep this Dart as my BAER, Best Analoge Experience Reference.

Just got one. It's a little scuffed up but itll be back in the air in no time. Getting to setting it up and fixing it.

[johncarold]

Hi Lee, I have been looking at the ZOHD Dart 250g, thanks for the video and information about your build

[GhostRyderFPV]

Thank you for another succinct and informative brief! I'd love to do the same with mine, but am I the only person who balks at the price of HD FPV systems from DJI, HDZero and Walksnail? I haven't made the jump because of the ever-increasing cost of entry, but man... it seems like every build or flight video these days are pure digital goodness!

I had to cover my own Dart's eye while I watched this, lol

[MessingWithCode]

i will be buying this FC very soon for my model

[alberto]

Thanks!! You Talk about Dart as she was your girlfriend!!! I have the Dart 250 and the problem is that vtx should fit at the back and camera at the front what brings one problem ofnHD systems: cable lenght. Analog you can always customize these things.

[RWGresearch]

Great Video and good Info. I just acquired one of these yesterday.(I think it has more hot glue than yours :) ) however it dose not have the Quick connectors on the wings. (Electrical parts) Possibly someone removed it at one time. Or did they make some of thses with those options not i stalled?
Question is. If i use analog video do you still recommend the same flight controllers you recommend here? Or is there an alternative you recommend if sticking with Analog? Thanks for all the videos! Been watching and learning for a long time. ~Russ

[julianhumphrey]

good video, this dart is one plane i really regret selling, now you cant buy them wish ZOHD would bring it back as it flew ace

[JulianGoesPro]

Why skip on CRSF? Don't you consider the Dart as "longer range" as it would make a difference (in confindence)?

[visioneerone]

Lee - 2 questions.

- any issues with the (unshielded) 1S VTX interfering with your GPS receiver? I have a pair of GPS-equipped craft which struggle to acquire and maintain a lock now that I've switched them over to Walksnail (V1)

- any plans to post the airscoop / grille you designed? I really do want to convert my Dart to HD 😄

[FraggsUK]

I dont know if it would help but if you used fport for telemetry it might reduce the load on the cpu Lee (and free up a port)

[spartan]

I light 1.7 mil laminated my original Dart and just converted mine to the INav 6, HDZero whoop lite, but with a foxeer camera. F405 wmn, Matak 2400D elrs and 3s 18650 Li-ion.Too windy to maiden so far. Although it's parts depart on crashing, mine too has a bit of UHU por from pre lamination. Landing the Dart smoothly was difficult at best. My Nano Goblin is much easier to fly, but not as sporty.
