I have the swordfish. Made some 150mm inserts to put between the wing's and fuse on calm days for absolutely stunning, floating glidability. Very impressed with the quality considering the price point.

Your content is literally reading my mind lately!

@sagienaicker2064 11 месяцев назад

I enjoy my Dolphin. Versatile aircraft. 4s lipo for speed runs. 4s 21700 for distance. Fantastic for cloud surfing. I love the Dolphin but am thinking about a Swordfish.

@northernfpv9562 11 месяцев назад

I have all 3 and the Penguin is my favourite. No question the Dolphin is the fastest. I find the Swordfish a little boring but it does everything right. The Penguin is a great mix and I run it much faster than the Swordfish. I find it quirky fun, stable and it’s the easiest to travel with. I only have one O3 unit and it’s in the Penguin. The rest get OG air units. It’s also very quiet. You can’t go wrong with any choice here, especially with the ready to fly FCs built in.

@patricehonvault2612 11 месяцев назад

I also own all three planes. my favorite model is the Penguin, followed by the Swordfish. The dolphin flies very well, but I always have a little apprehension when taking off with the Dolphin and its propulsive propeller.

@FlyByWireC 11 месяцев назад

Just recently converted my swordfish into a VTOL, I love both swordfish and dolphin, I feel dolphin is more suitable for Acrobatics and swordfish is better for long range flight. The penguin just looks too weird to me.

@craigrjrich 11 месяцев назад

Can I ask what parts you used and where I may get them please

@northernfpv9562 11 месяцев назад

The Penguin is my favourite!

@mysticguido1 11 месяцев назад

Nice video with some really good info on all 3 planes. This will help Me make up My Mind as to which 1 I would like to have. Thank You Sir.

@johncarold 11 месяцев назад

Hi Lee, Great video and review of your favorite model. Personally I like the Swordfish, but I love the size of the Penguin. I do like the Dolphin, but the size is the only thing I don't like. Thanks again for the video and information about these planes.

@MCsCreations 11 месяцев назад

Awesome, Lee! Thanks a bunch! 😃 Really impressive models indeed! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@irvine40 11 месяцев назад

Somehow I’ve ended up with all 3!

@Painless360 11 месяцев назад

That is not a bad thing!! Happy flying!

@willay747 11 месяцев назад

I have all 3 and do love my Dolphin! I have to disagree on the Penguin being efficient. I find it gobbles up the battery fairly quickly even when flying slowly. Maybe different props will help...

@Painless360 11 месяцев назад

How odd. Definitely not the experience here. See my full review as cruise throttle will affect flight time dramatically... Happy flying

@nicktwinn6760 Месяц назад

Thankyou for that , I agree the Dolphin is a great all-rounder. How about adding 'Wind' tolerance to your list , it'd be very useful 😉

@Painless360 Месяц назад

Check out the specific reviews as that is covered.... Happy flying

@dihler55 11 месяцев назад

Fun thing I figured out about the swordfish is that it somehow really enjoys flying inverted way more than it should lol.

@Painless360 11 месяцев назад

I need to try that next flying day! :D

I have the dolphin and swordfish, both running walksnail. I love them both, you cant go wrong.

@Nico-dj3gu 3 месяца назад

Can you make a video series, from unboxing the wing to wiring, setting it up etc. with a O3? Would be really appreciated since there arent much infos available online on this topic.

@Painless360 3 месяца назад

Check out the INAV for beginners series. I don't use 03 stuff here but I have made a few videos on the DJI setup needed for INAV too.. Best of luck!

I replaced the motors (T-Motor f2203.5 2850kv) on the penguin and re propped (gemfan 4052 tri) it goes 100mph and handles like an f22 its a sweet plane, I can do all kinds of crazy stuff, it's so maneuverable. Also using differential thrust.

@Painless360 7 месяцев назад

@mysticguido1 11 месяцев назад

I feel with the way I'll mostly fly the Swordfish would be the one for me. Right now I have an Aeroscout (Replacement on its way). So would this make a good second plane?

@Painless360 11 месяцев назад

Sounds like a good choice. Happy flying

@adamrosenberg4367 11 месяцев назад

Hey Lee, what would be your input on the most "stuff in a backpack"-able flying setup? I'm going back to school soon, and my primary transportation is going to be a motorcycle, so I wanted to put together a rig I could stuff in my my backpack and hop on the bike to go fly.

@mick813 11 месяцев назад

I noticed on a youtube video a person with only one hand. It struck me that they may not be able to use a TX without modification, If its already been done then I apologise. My thoughts were having the elevator and aileron on a stick with the slider being used for the throttle and a to flick momentary switch, (neutral in the middle and left or right rudder by flicking the switch. I am pretty sure this could be done on an edge TX system. Am I too late to the party with this. Just think it seems a shame those disadvantaged by lack of hand operation don't get to enjoy the hobby

@dallasb7117 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Lee, I have the Swordfish and Penguin, my flying mate has the Dolphin..All are Awesome we think..But what's up with these Names ? 😮..I Hate to tell an observer at the field..."Uh,..Ummm...it's a Penguin".

@toddmusser8555 11 месяцев назад

Coming soon, the ostrich and the emu. I do think the Penguin is a fun looking airplane.

@nicktwinn6760 11 месяцев назад

I'm always looking for endurance and subsequently have two 4s 5000mah 21700's in my Dolphin. However it needs a bungee for reliable take off . What would you reckons the most 4s mAh could be squeezed into the Swordfish ? I'd like something a bit more stealthy(quiet 😉)

@Painless360 11 месяцев назад

Not sure. I'd have to see when I get back. Battery bay is not as long as the Dolphin from what I recall... Happy flying

@R.B_B 2 месяца назад

Does anyone know what of those models are better for flying in windy conditions?

@Painless360 2 месяца назад

It depends on how windy. Normally, you need a model with more mass and more thrust to handle higher winds... Happy flying

@shotahayashi2969 11 месяцев назад

My penguin runs 4s 1750kv 6x6 prop. My dolphin runs 4s 1400kv 7x7 prop. I perfer penguin more than dolphin, The launch of penguin is much easier than dolphin. And fast and efficient among most the the throttle ranges.

Newb..Does this come with OSD.. ATOMRC Penguin 750mm Wingspan Twin Motor EPP FPV RC Airplane Fixed Wing KIT/PNP+S/RTH With LED Navigation lights PNP+S

@Painless360 11 месяцев назад

It will support an OSD in a FPV setup but that depends on the version you buy and what FPV system you use. Happy flying

@tk-maker 11 месяцев назад

Is it worth move from T1 to penguin? T1 was nice but feel like a bit sluggish for fast proximity move.

@Painless360 11 месяцев назад

If you are after a model with more responsiveness then the Penguin is a nice idea...

@11coso 7 месяцев назад

Hi Lee, Which of these would you recommend for someone entering the hobby currently looking for an upgrade from a HBZ Carbon Cub trainer.

@Painless360 7 месяцев назад

It depends on what you want to do with it. All are good choices...

@11coso 7 месяцев назад

@Painless360 thank you! That helps! I was worried one might be especially harder to fly than the others. I love what the penguin can do. Cheers

@Painless360 7 месяцев назад

All are lovely and forgiving with lots of fun. For relaxing flying - Swordfish, for portability - Penguin, for all round - Dolphin !:D

@bladeystudio 11 месяцев назад

I upgraded the swordfish to inav 6.1.1 but now fc orientation for upside down isn’t correct please now do I correct that?

You reapplied the 'Diff all' acc orientation and calibration settings you stored before you upgraded ? See my video on how to upgrade easily.. Best of luck

Unnnfortunately, my dolphin came with 2000kv version🤦‍♂️ can you suggestz what size ita good for replacing that 2000kv? Maybe about change esc to 1500kv 28xx? And 50A its enough? I'm thinking about use 4s and 6S with 28xx 1500kv
