Zeta FX-79 Buffalo FPV Flying Wing

Following the success of their FX-61 Phantom Flying Wing and it's successful performance as an FPV vehicle. Zeta Science now have a larger wing in developement. I am currently doing a review of their new FPV Flying wing the FX-79 Buffalo. At 79" or 2 metre in wingspan she's a big ship and if her performance is anything like her predecessors the FX-84 and FX-61, she's bound to be a winner.

I have not long completed an LOS maiden flight today check it out on my RCGroups build log below.

This gives you an idea of what she looks like up against a Skywalker, check it out on RCGroups

WOW, this is an awesome looking wing alright. It's gonna be a bugger to hand launch, hope you've got plenty of flying friends. :)

Thanks for your comment. The launch (for me) was a breeze and Grant handled that easily, I am planning to use a Bungee to launch, especially when I am on my own, having fallen foul of a pusher prop a while ago and not looking to repeat the experience.

However, on the discussion thread there are two other launches (to date) by the pilot and both went off very well. So for it's size it does appear to be a puppy to launch.
