Long time no post some updates, here's my latest flying activity with my good old UAV mini Wing wing z-84 mission flight for 2019.

Wow 50km flight, wondering what size mAh lipo you are using to make it...

Its not a li-po, its powered via small vape/torch light battery.

Wow those battery can fly up to 50min? Impressive.
I believe those battery in vape and torch light is lipo battery 18650 if not mistaken.

need to note that he's using a glider/winged flyer. you just can't do 50mins with a rotor flyer.

those batts are li-ion. the good ones does have good capacity to weight ratio. the downside is discharge rate.

Yes its the 18650 li-on battery for vape/torchlight. The best i could push its limits was 1.5 half hour about 90 minutes as shown in attached video, quite good and still have alive after 3 years of usage even flown in fully drenched wet far better than lipo interm of life-cycle usage. My other buddy from neighboring country could push more than that.

Wing Wing plane like Zagi last time can't fly for so long or glide too long else will drop wan. But been so long away from plane liao. So maybe the material or construction is lighter now.

The aerodynamic of wing design have been improved over time, material still the same. So it means it can glide longer with less power even during stormy weather. I used to fly old zagi but today wings designs have evolve a lot and cheaper.

Back for more mission flight, another extra miles on my mini UAV wing wing Z-84. Visiting the plantation area.

Planning to revive my zmr250 quad.... Any online shops to recommend?
Hobbyking? Banggood?

I used to shop at hobbyking 3 years ago, now banggood.com is better, more choice and extremely fast and cheap shipping, already ordered more than dozens.

Somehow agreed. I have long time no play drone... LoL.. Too lazy

And hobbyking now have a lot item can't ship Malaysia... Banggood cheap and fast.

where do you guys get you lipos? banggood can't ship lipo. still stuck with hobbyking as they are cheaper than buying locally when buying in bulk.

I have that problem too before I temporary stop play. And hobby doest let me ship lipo.... Not sure why.
Even 2s 500mah 30c.

i had that same problem with my last lipo shipment a few weeks ago. HK don't let me ship. then i changed the address and it works. the 1st try was to my office, the successful shipment was to my home. banggood just outright refuse to ship lipo to MY since a few years ago. buying overseas from shopee will ship, but end up with refund because custom rejects it.

Here can't get lipo hard to play... Specially frequent flyer. Lipo dead fast.

Banggood used to be good, but its pricing has become less competitive lately.

Drone parts are now also available on Shopee, Lazada & Aliexpress.
