5D2
The culmination of our FPV wing passion and experience thus far.
The 5D2 is a comprehensive re-imagining of the classic Legit Wing formula. Familiar on the outside, yet re-thought in structure and function. More performance, more durability, easier to build and easier to operate. The 5D2 is the first of our next-generation of FPV wing kits.
5D2 airframe kits are hand-made with pride in the USA.
Orders at this time will include your choice of nose style! Various other noses will be available in the future as accessories. Reference nose dimensions are available as an .stl file for user-customized nose designs.
We are currently producing a new instructional build video series for the 5D2 and future Legit Wings. It will be posted here upon release, as well as on our YouTube page.

A Variety of Nose Styles
All printed noses are made of durable, yet flexible TPU. This material absorbs impacts and is nearly indestructible. Additional noses may be purchased as accessories.
Single FPV Camera + GoPro
This nose fits a Hero9, Hero10 or Hero11 action camera. It also fits one board-style FPV camera.
Single FPV Camera, Twin FPV Cameras
These noses do not carry a large-footprint action camera. The Single FPV nose carries one board-style FPV camera centrally. This is also the nose recommended for line-of-sight flying. The Twin FPV nose carries a pair of board-style FPV cameras. A popular use case for Twin FPV is carrying one camera optimized for day-light flying and another camera optimized for low-light night flying. Both the Single FPV and Twin FPV noses feature convenient slots for holding common steel weights as ballast if needed. The rear faces of the noses have guide channels for wiring.
All FPV noses include socket carriages for mounting board-style FPV cameras. The carriages fit a wide range of camera shapes and feature depth adjustment. Cap plugs are also included for when cameras are not in use.
DIY Foam Nose
The Do-It-Yourself Foam Nose gives the option for builders to affix a camera (or not!) in the traditional way they would for an EPP flying wing. Virtually any format camera can be mounted by deft use of knife and glue. The included printed base allows the foam nose to be bolted to the airframe's bulkhead, in the same manner as the other noses. Wire guide channels are provided on the backside of the base.
Paint! These noses are printed of white TPU filament.
If desiring to paint your TPU nose, we recommend Tamiya's PS line of paint for polycarbonate. This stuff works great on TPU plastic! Tamiya PS can be found at most local hobby shops, as the paint's intended application is in painting the flexible Lexan bodies of R/C cars. The paints are inexpensive and come in miniature spray cans.
Reference Nose Design
Flexibility and variability of payload is a key goal behind the 5D2. Part of that flexibility is empowering end-users to design their own payload-carrying nose pods. To that end, we are providing CAD dimensions of the 5D2's basic nose. Start here to carry whatever nose-mounted payload your heart desires!
Servo Access Trays
The 5D2 includes servo access trays and lead extensions. They allow easy access to adjusting or removing servos using only screws. The trays also give servos deeper "roots" into the foam for a more firm control feel. Utilizing the trays is optional—servos can be glued directly into the foam if desired.
Take a virtual test flight...
...or just have a blast flying from your couch! Team Legit's 5D2 is included in the April 2023 (v1.15) release of the
Wings computer simulator. Relax in free flight, practice shooting gates solo or try competitive online multiplayer racing!
