A compact forward-swept flying FPV flying wing platform that promises a new paradigm in flight performance and reliability at this scale.
The TBS Chupito is a compact forward-swept FPV flying wing platform that stays true to its heritage of the TBS Mojito. We gently eased off the focus on efficiency and toned the complexity down a notch or two to make it more approachable and easier to fly for casual pilots. The cruise speed is still a respectable 70km/h, while the top speed on the stock setup will allow 160km/h. It will give you a comfortable 20mins/15km of casual flying on a 1300mAh 6S battery, and it's quiet enough not to bother your neighbors. Keep the plane in a travel-friendly 3 piece confguration or fully glue everything down for a basher-friendly rocketship that is easily strapped to the back of a FPV backpack, or on a spare seat of your car.
The wing is built for both analog and digital video links, and we've also designed 3D printable customizations that make it the perfect wing to experience and document your FPV adventures!
Fun factor
The Chupito was engineered to provide the maximum amount of accessibility and fun while keeping the performance and flight envelope beyond any other wing in its size and weight class. It is the perfect bring-along wing for small (or large) trips, or just as a casual long range flyer. With the small size and precise response to inputs, you can shoot tight gaps. On 6S, unlimited vertical flight allows for maneuvers limited only by your imagination. The battery compartment gives you enough space to install a power system that covers 5km vertical, or 30km horizontal distance - with margin to spare.
Build and appearance
The kit comes with assembly required, and no servos (!) installed. From start to finish, you will need less than an hour to put it all together, assuming you're using TBS electronics (sold separately, or available as a set). If you are starved for speed, we recommend laminating the wings, and speeds of 230km/h will be achievable using the right propellers (bi-blade, high pitch). In the air it's visually hard to differentiate from a Mojito, but when you place them side-by-side the smaller size become apparent. All in all, this wing subscribes to the 80/20 rule, giving you the most bang-for-buck, and an insanely fun all-around wing.
