Volantex ASW28 2.54m glider 

Mr. Andrew I look forward to your response today regarding flying a model airplane in 13 mph winds. Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you.

The video is very usefull since the instruction manual is not clear enough. Many thanks

finally a normal person who makes a normal build guide

There are 2 of these in our club, 1 had the rudder separate and the other, running the recommended 3s felt like it didn't have the power to take flight. But overall, looks like a lovely glider.

bought it now and will do your mods to have a bit longer fun with it ... THANKS

Hi Andrew. Had my ASW28 for about five months now and just waiting to get some time in on cheaper models before I possibly wreck this beautiful machine. Look forward to you flying yours. Regards.

Looks good! I like the PVC fuselage and your PVC stand... I made a stand few weeks back out of 20mm. Look forward to seeing the maiden :)

The motor is decent too. not a rocket ship but still good. I found the standard aileron a bit anemic, so a good mix to use flaps with it makes it pop. the balance of the whole craft is excellent. small battery required - I used a 1500mah 3s but it also flew well with a 3000mah low rating multistar further back. inside the canopy you could park a mini minor as well. would be great for APM or other GPS / RTH - fpv solution. thanks for posting.

I got one of these and use it solely for sloping , lots of wing flex looks awesome , had to use full throws of the ailerons etc , its a bit lazy to turn otherwise , the stronger the wind the better ,,,,,,, looking forward to your maiden flight video !

great glider, preset up for failure using the supplied clevis band, servos unhook from the horns and then you have to buy another glider, good job china! could it be chance? i dont think so. once again we have people like you to enforce the checks and balances. thank you!

Merry Christmas and happy New Year with lots of health.

Did I hear right Adrian, you love the Radian? I had one of those and mine was YUK !!

Looks to be a good sailplane. Can`t wait to see some onboard footage as I`m sure your aiming to outfit it with multiple camera gear. Cheers!

Getting this. Probably.

Hi Andrew, I found a 4s was needed as the suggested 3s was just too sluggish when trying to climb (vertically) :):)

if it flies as well as it looks.. lovely glider

Nice glider !!! waiting maiden flight

Damn you Andrew :-) - I soooooo want one of these - I have an autopilot just begging for it. Will see how it flies and look at the budget next week.

Thanks Andrew. But seriously hot glue reinforcement for control surfaces !!! Here at Werribee on a hot thermal day that hot glue is going to run like water. Surely tough tape would be better. Great build video.

Hello, Andrew. Always Nice to watch your videos. Could you tell me what is the root and tip chord of the wing?

I've been tempted by this one many times!

good morning, With winds of 13 miles per hour, it is possible to fly a 1.3-meter wingspan, 1.3 kilos, electric trainner plane

Hey Andrew that plane is amazing for fpv!! I got ☝️

Andrew I want to use this or a Phoenix 2400 as a long range FPV platform with a big 4S battery. Can you remember what the unpowered speed of the two are, or what you guess they would be. Or how much faster the asw28 is compared to the 2400. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you and I hope your well.

The elevator and tail rudder look delicate, do any improvements need to be made?

Hello Andrew, Congratulations for your videos very inspiring ! I would have your opinion on 2 gliders you know well i think ;) Which glider do you prefer the most between ASW28 V2 & Phoenix V2 2000, and why ? which one do you think is the best for thermal in plains ? In advance, thank to you, Ben.

Nice glider, nice video.

Good morning sir. Many thanks. Regards, Vítor Lalanda

Mr. ANDREW, - the aileron + tail direction mix a good idea for flight?

I think i got a friday afternoon one , as the decals on the connectors were all wrong, once sorted its a brill flyer.

Hi Andrew....what size Fuel line do you use for the Control rods...I like that Idea and would like to pick up some Fuel line to do the same....thank you ....as always I really enjoy your Reviews of RC equipment.

Mr. Andrew. I ordered a CCW counter-clockwise propeller for my plane and they sent me a CW propeller. Can I fly with the propellers clockwise?

Hi Andrew, where abouts in your opinion is the best spot for COG, as I've still got one of these still under the bed and hopefully we will get a pleasant spring here in the uk. Happy new year and keep making the videos

Any more flights on this bird?

I realise this video is quite old now 2016 - but this aircraft is on Hobby King for £74 at present. a better deal.

Hi, great video. I've been flying drone for three years and I'd like to start a new experience with plane, fpv and long range. Do you think this is a good model to start or could you give me an advice? Thank you

Good Morning Mr. Andrew. I have a foam plane that weighs 1.3 kg (INCLUDING EVERYTHING TO FLY) I put an A2212 / 10 T / 1400 KV motor on it, but it wasn't enough to fly. 3S / 100C battery and 8X4 propeller. Can you recommend a motor with more torque?

nice video!

nice

Have just received my Volantex 2000 ranger. Great kit and well built. I have one small issue with regards to the installation of the recv esc and the best way to connect the aileron wires. It is supplied with 2 Y leads. One for the aileron and the other for the flaps they both have numbers on them but it seems at odds with how I was told to connect them, The instructions do not mention any of these operations. Your advise would be appreciated Thanks Colin

Good morning, is this glider only suitable for flying in thermal winds, or can I also fly it at an altitude of 2,600 metres?

another baby to my hangar. ... thanks.

g'day mate, i scored 1 just recently but it has no wing spars can ya tell me the size diameter of them please mate cheers good video

Looks excellent!

Is it a good beginner plane? I have a lot of experience in quads, cars, boats, helicopters.

I have one of these with the 850kv motor, after testing the amp draw of the motor and disconnecting the battery, I noticed that prop/motor was very stiff to turn. and didn't free up till it had cooled down. did you notice this on yours, or do I have a dodgy motor. cheers

Was that just ordinary hot glue that you used on the hinges???

Excellent video. Just received mine the other day. Hope it flies as well as my Diamond 2500. Do you think a 2200 3s battery will present any issues? I'm willing to add weights if needed. Thanks

To fly a glider you need a minimum area of ​​SQUARE meters?

Hallo why the stabilator on top Mpx have also a plane solius Is that for better stability thank you

Hi Andrew, Just watched your video on the Volantex ASW28 - Q. Would you consider this a beginners glider? Thanks, Richard - Waiwera Auckland

Hi Andrew Are you having problems with the CG? My ASW28 with pilot and LiPo under the pilot is too heavy in the nose

Thanks ! Too bad, I hesitated to buy it for a long time ... what do you think is missing to be a good thermal glider? Is it too heavy? Or is it due to its geometry or the profile of the wing not enough carrying the wing? because in this case keeping the fuselage very design and resistant we must perhaps be able to adapt another wing ... It could be an idea of experience for your video blog;) Anyway thank you very much for your wise advice, Hello from France to Australia, Benwhite.

Ok. So the big question Andrew - ASW 28 or the Phoenix 2000 V2 if pushed to live with only one glider. Would the decision be different if it was going to be used primarily for FPV?

Mr. Andrew where are you from?💯

Dear Sir I was very pleased to see the presentation of the Volantex, even bought one that is on the way. I'm new here and I've trained in the flight simulator picassim. I've already figured I'd have plenty of time on the air. Will it be possible to help me setup my taranis X9D Plus for control surfaces? I downloaded the e-soar plus for taranis V1.0 setup Guide by Mike Shellim, 11/28/2015, my English is not a strong, but the fact that they mention a change in the open TX of the radio, scares me! Can you help me. Sincerely Vitor Lalanda

Sir, I have flown drones. Now wanting to try planes is this easy enough to fly for a beginner with wings?

Which foam are the wings made of? I ask as I will almost certainly crash it and will need to know which glues will work.

Hello Andrew, not sure if i have asked you this on another video, would you choose Ranger 2000 over the ASW28, sorry if i am repeating a question

Hello Andrew, Did you change the engine. I'm riding my settings to fpv, but I have 2.5 kilograms. I believe that the original engine has no power to this set. Do you have any suggestions?

Andrew what's your favourite rc glider and why?

Wednesday I'm going to train but the wind is 13 miles per hour, it's good, it's possible to fly without problems?

is it difficult to fly it without flight control/stabilisator?

Ok so this or the Phoenix 2000 as a first proper motorized glider ?

Is the plane suitable for training?

Hello This or the Volantex 742-5 Phoenix Evolution 1600mm 2600mm?

Hi Andrew ! Great video ! I purchased mine from HK and during assembly noticed that I was shipped two winglets of the same side not one for each. I'm having difficulty finding a spare parts website, would anyone be able to help me out ? Thanks in advance !

What a beautiful glider. Are you going to FPV it?

Does it have a flaps?

Does it use a T-plug?

Would you recommend this as a 1st rc plane? I've been flying quadcopters and helis for about 4 years now if that helps?

How long could I fly it with 2200 3s battery?

So what would you say is better between this and the phoenix 2in1 for soaring?

What are you using to test the servos?

What are you using to strengthen the flap, aileron, etc. hinges?

I knew it ! LOL

Thought you'll like to know that the ordered ASW28 arrived, somewhat damaged. The canopy was cracked, one of the fixation pins was missing, and the control horns and some of the screws were absent. I got the impression that the damage to the packaging was deliberate - not difficult, the packaging is minimal to say the least. Anyway, I've contacted Banggood and am waiting for their response. It's really a question of more delay - it takes at least a fortnight for anything to arrive from Banggood. When I'll finally be able to build and fly the glider I'll be considering upping the motor power. Can you advise on which motor, and, probably which battery?

Fanny

You must finish with a one minute flight! Please!

i have one for fooling about cheap and cheerful cost about 90 eur in germany fuselage is ok wings are wobbly and trailing edges waaaay too thick there is no dihedral tail plane same with a 3 S and decent motor it will climb ok but the glide ratio is very poor i have a calypso and its a much better plane with a 2x better glide ratio and flies like a real plane...

le fish!

not a foam fan at all
