We’ve now had a few opportunities to fly our Chocofly DG800. We’re still tinkering with the settings, but are close to the final result. It’s a fun plane. With the large wingspan and short fuselage it’s very manoeuvrable and the airfoil allows both for good thermalling and faster flying. Without pushing it too much I got to 235kmh – more should be possible. At the same time it likes a bit of camber and can be thermalled really nice and slow. Here’s a video that I made from our flying yesterday. The air was very gusty and choppy, so not the best conditions for flying, but the DG800 dealt with it very well. Also note that the mix of the rudder and ailerons isn’t optimal yet, the plane should be more stable when we get that right.
