FPV Manta BNF Basic

First-person view (FPV) has spun off numerous forms of racing, and while most involve small quad rotor drones, there is a growing cadre of fixed-wing pilots using flying wing–style aircraft to FPV race. Enter the Manta from ImmersionRC and the Blade team at Horizon Hobby.

The Manta is constructed of molded Z-Foam and features digital servos and an AS3X stabilized receiver with SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology. A Castle Creations speed control, a brushless motor, and an onboard camera with a 5.8GHz video transmitter are all preinstalled.

The Manta can easily be assembled by anyone who can follow a manual, and because it’s equipped with a SAFE receiver, the Manta can be successfully flown by anyone comfortable flying a fixed-wing trainer if throttle management is used. If you really open it up, the Manta appears to be flying in the 100mph range and would require more-advanced piloting skills.
