I just received the ZOHD Drift FVP with a 2s 3500ma battery (Dec 2020). I'm new to flying fixed wing and have basic drone skills. I find this model to be great for beginners, mainly because stability mode is so easy. I've crashed it three times badly in the first 15 minutes of use but all have been my error. I taped the wings and tips but also would recommend taping the nose as mine has cracked through with the bad crashes. My large battery is not what I would recommend, it doesn't lay flat in the fuselarge so I couldn't velcro it in place, it sits loose and could be partly the blame for my nose damage. It's capacity lasts for ever but a smaller battery like a 2s 1300 would be fine and make it easier to fly possibly with less weight. I find the factory CG positions to be correct but the large battery has to be back as far as it can go. Auto launch is great as everybody else states. Banggood delivery to Australia is satisfactory during these covid times and around Christmas too. Check my maiden flights on youtube chanel, Mustangdude...search ZOHD Drift. See in my pics, the tail horizontal is not perfectly aligned with the wings, this is common and didn't affect my beginner flying or the planes attitude in the air, it may not be acceptable to the advanced flyers though and can be fixed apparently.

Nice little model. Box and contents arrived in good condition. When assembled an issue with the tail became apparent. Either the tail boom mount fittings or the fin has been glued in the wrong position, the fin is not vertical and the horizontal stabilser is tilted. As all modellers know this will cause the model to fly poorly. There is no adjustment as all the parts are glued. It requires a new tail boom. No other reviewers mention this issue and it is not like Zohd to miss this as part of their QC. Maybe a one off problem but still requires fixing before flight.

mustangdude good advice Ken

Take your time putting it together, it is a work of art. I power it with a li-po 7.4v 1600 mah and it works perfectly with the larger 2 bladed prop. Remember it is a glider. Use the motor to get it to the right altitude, shut off the motor and look for thermals to keep it aloft. You can fly for hours. Happy Flying Ken

This transmitter is great for beginners and is easy to set up. It's economical on the batteries too.

Q: does it have real hinges for control surfaces

Asked by ror1948 on 2020-05-28 02:48:04

mustangdude If you mean plastic hinges the answer is no. It looks like the EPO is heated and crushed to form EPO hinges. But they work well enough.
