Overview

Designed by premier aircraft designers George Hicks and Mike McConville, the Opterra 2m flying wing delivers an exceptionally versatile flight experience. Thanks to its large 2m wingspan, lightweight construction, and efficient aerodynamics, the Opterra is capable of a wide range of activities, from graceful thermal soaring to spirited sport aerobatics.

Its primary role, however, is as an outstanding FPV platform. The airframe features multiple camera mounting options to suit your needs. A specially designed camera nose includes foam inserts to securely house FPV cameras alongside multiple different HD cameras. Additionally, an external mounting station on the top of the fuselage is perfect for low-profile cameras, allowing you to fly FPV while recording your flight in high definition.

This Bind-N-Fly version comes equipped with a Spektrum receiver featuring AS3X technology for outstanding stability in wind and turbulence, plus optional-use SAFE Select technology for added confidence. Put yourself in the pilot's seat and explore the world from a new perspective with the highly capable Opterra 2m flying wing.

Highlights

Engineered for Performance

Engineered for Performance

Central to the Opterra wing's performance is its advanced aerodynamic shaping. Beyond its efficient airfoil, winglets and fins on the fuselage keep the model perfectly aligned in diverse airflows. Vortex generators positioned on both the top and bottom of the wing actively improve slow-speed stability and control. The airframe itself is a marvel of engineering, fashioned from carbon-reinforced, hollow-core Z-Foam™ material that maintains optimal strength and rigidity while remaining remarkably lightweight.

Rapid Assembly and Convenient Storage

Rapid Assembly and Convenient Storage

The Opterra wing stands out for its user-friendly assembly and transport. Its plug-in wing panels and winglets are secured by simple thumbscrews, allowing for full setup or breakdown in minutes. The intelligent design even extends to its packaging, which serves as a robust carrying case with an integrated handle, offering unmatched convenience for pilots on the go.

Efficient Power, Extended Glide

Efficient Power, Extended Glide

The Opterra wing is equipped with a high-output brushless power system that provides ample thrust for carrying camera payloads or performing dynamic sport aerobatics. When you're ready to cut the power and ride the thermals, the folding propeller efficiently reduces drag, allowing for significantly longer and more satisfying glide times.

Multiple Perspectives for Recording

Multiple Perspectives for Recording

Capture your flights from various angles with the Opterra wing's extensive camera mounting options. It features a primary sleek nose for performance flying, but also offers an optional camera nose that includes two forward-facing mounting stations for FPV or HD cameras. For unique aerial views, a downward-looking camera bay in the belly is specifically designed to fit GoPro Hero 3, Hero 4, and similar HD cameras.
