Finwing Traveler V2 Backpack FPV Plane Maiden Flight
This is Finwing Traveler V2, a Fixed wing RC FPV plane designed to fit in a backpack or a small carrying case so that you can carry it anywhere and enjoy FPV Flights at your favorite spots, and destinations. Until now, Fixed Wing FPV RC plane pilots could only dream to fly FPV at various destinations. The size of FPV Plane, the troubles to pack and carry, it was just way too much trouble that most of the FPV pilots simply did not and were not able to carry their favorite Fixed wing RC FPV planes with them when traveling. Well say good bye to that scenario. Now you can easily carry your Fixed Wing FPV RC plane with you to any destinations you wish to go and enjoy flying short range to medium range FPV flights. Finwing Traveler V2, specially designed keeping travel in mind, is available in a kit version, and is just as easy as 123 to build. No DIY work needed, every piece simply fits. And best of all, you can easily disassemble it and fit it in a small aluminum carry case or a backpack. Now you can carry and travel with your FPV Plane with simple ease. Finwing Traveler V2 is a super FPV aircraft that delivers a stable and fast FPV Flight performance. Using dual motors, this plane packs a powerful punch, superb cruise speed and a good flight endurance for your short to medium range FPV Flights and FPV Adventures. Assembly and deploying takes only a minute or two, and after flights packing it back in a backpack or a carry case takes a minute or two as well. Enjoy the maiden flights and see how easy it is to carry this superb RC FPV Plane along with you to wherever you go.

That’s really cool how easily it assembles, great for easy transportation!
loved it,sounds and flyes very good
where do all those roads go?
Gorgeous plane! It reminds me of the My Twin Dream you flew years ago. I just love the sound of a twin.
Ali,
are those Counter-Rotation Props? or same rotation?
Where in China you are heading? Are there more restriction in flying RC in China?
VERY NICE SAVE MAN!!!!!:)
You hit the Right Aileron with up Elevator Just in Time!!!:)
VERY impressive save for such a Unstable Flyer Especially during a hand Launch By yourself with such a short time to make your stick corrections!!!:)
I believe that the high mounted Horizontal stabilizer with such a short wing span is causing the unusual Center Gravity and stall problems. The Duel Motor’s have a tendency to make throttle up fly completely different than when gliding even at a fast glide unless you literally just came out of a Dive at a very high speed.
Those motor cowlings combined with the propellers tongues a tremendous amount of drag when they’re not pulling so that’s probably the most significant Force causing you to have to mount the battery so far back which would normally throw your CG completely off.
Of course you probably already knew everything I just said. Lol just wondering if I still could diagnose RC airplanes which I haven’t flown unfortunately in about 10 years:/
I used to know it like the back of my hand:). Great piloting!!! BTW:)
As far as FPV is concerned the Runcam Swift (2) has battery telemetry and a timer built in to the camera itself. It comes with a little joystick where you can modify where you would like everything to be located on the screen. I’m pretty sure you know this also. Lol, but figured it couldn’t hurt to mention it. It’s pretty cheap Also and has extremely nice factory settings that deal with sunlight and shadows better than any camera I’ve used so far for 5.8 FPV. I think it takes up to about 24 volts so you wouldn’t even need a voltage regulator. I’m pretty sure you had the video transmitting part figured out a long time ago!!!:). I’m just curious what milliwatt would you use on something such as an airplane that can fly so far away so quickly?? I know 800mw with a circular polarized antenna would probably be Child’s Play for a aeroplane with such speed. You have a great idea with installing the returned home system before flying fpv because you never know what type of interference you may encounter between your goggles or video screen and the aircraft itself. Now that I think about it I remember one of your older videos from years and years ago you flew and airplane over some type of a river and a lot of people were talking about the smog I believe it was and as a matter of fact I think you said you were in China at the time that video was recorded. I could be wrong but it seems like that was you way back around the time I watched one of your first videos:)
That was very interesting, and I hope you have a wonderful trip my Friend!!!!:) I’m looking forward to that next video!!! Take Care Man!:)
Ok show. Brazil. Rio de Janeiro
Great flying Ali , good to see planes back . When you put the FPV camera on your CG will be nose heavy again but your the expert so you will sort it . Are you going to sell the Jimny , well i suppose you will , cost too much to ship it . Good luck again with your move back home to China . I’m glad you did’nt get SHOT , restrictions on model planes and drones in Dubai but not on guns i see 🙂
Great idea with ease of breakdown and carry, shame that stability is not good. How to correct this problem? A 3axis gyro?
I just noticed you get the traveler upside down in suitcase, is the bird happy with the new way! this one is medium speed, not very slow glider. Just FYI I tried to put a 0.5MM washer on top of the motor let the motor has about 2 degree down thrust angle then subsequently shimming at the back of the upper vertical wing surface made the horizontal wing has a little down angle(R>L about 2-3MM), finally the plane flying much slower , But I think most of the FPV pilots wouldn’t get it to slower
selamun aleykum please give me a drone
wow, awesome save. last time I had a craft bank like that on takeoff it ended badly.
Are you in the United Arab Emirates? You sure get around Ali!
That’s pretty neat if i may say 🙂
Without the wings it reminds me of an ekranoplan
Thanks for review, I bought one;
Nice recovery on that maiden. Not many catch it or have luck in that situation. 🙂
Also I like the jewelry box hardware allowing for the quick and easy break down. The tail fastener could probably be improved with the right cam-lock instead of screws. (1/2 turn or so to lock, instead of screwing all the way on.) Only a minor nit-pick, probably something that needs a bit more research. Or perhaps an alternate to that would be a notched and slotted rail fastener that locks with a spring clip?
That thing does zip though. Looks stable enough yet it seems like it doesn’t like inverted flying much with the airfoils used, and perhaps more lift in the tail itself than usual if it likes the CG further back? And if it uses separate aileron servos, maybe programming it with flaperons would help slow the landing speed?
