Welcome to KiwiRC
54" Ritewing Zephyr
Bringing you awesome flying RC planes from RiteWingRC, SuperflyRC, BudgetRC, Phlatkits and the Mighty MicroDan motors from Gobrushless.
The Picture on the left is me with a stupid grin on my face. Just arrived at the Tokoroa Airfield in October 2009, for a day of flying with the SWMAC boys and invited guests. The Wing I am holding is a 54″ Zephyr, by RitewingRC. At that stage it had about 600 watts of power, curently it runs just over 1KW and has a top speed just on 160 km/hr
Its built from a set of EPP wing cores, Carbon Rods, Riteweave and covering, to make a very robust flying wing.
The Ritewings are the best in their class, designed from the outset to handle well with a powered system, Designed and Cut out by Chris Klique in the USA, and tested until they are “rite”
hi i am interested in a ritewing for power flight and will like to know how much for one – possibly partially built – like the motor mount attachment.
Hi Geoff – Atomic Start from Trademe ? what sort of powertrain are you thinking of using ? The option range from an IYF30″ running a small outrunner, at 100 watts orso, a LTG36″ at anything from 250 to 300 watts, a TL50″ at 300 to 800 watt range, or a DemonLite 40″ 600 to 2000 watts ? depends on the flying style and what you want from the wing. You live in Hawera ? come on down to the Hawera Airfield on Sunday between 10 and 12. Cheers, Mat
