Finwing Penguin V2 ARF

The Finwing Peguin ARF is an Almost Ready To Fly kit, including many of the primary electrical components needed for basic flight, such as Motor, ESC and Servo’s. You will require a minimum of a 4 channel Transmitter/Receiver, 4S Lipo battery, battery connectors, propeller and suitable battery charger to get this model in to the air. 

The Penguin is one of Finwing’s mid-sized FPV platforms with a 67.7 inch (1720mm) wingspan. Desgined specifically to support a range of FPV hardware, whilst giving maximum flight efficiency with stable and predictable flight characteristics. An ideal model to begin with if your an inexperienced flyer and/or new to the world of FPV flying.

The Penguin has a unique look to it with it’s bubble canopy, which offers a great deal of strength and room inside for those who want to fit the Finwing Pan/Tilt Mechanism with either a Go Pro or other style of FPV camera attached. There is also an option to mount a downward facing camera in the fuselage.

The model has a two-piece detachable wing and tail, making transportation possible even in the smallest of cars. Two bolts allow removal of the wings and one bolt to remove the tail section. Generally the tail section would be left on even for transport, as we recommend also gluing these sections together as well.

The ARF model is now supplied with an upgraded motor, the Finwing M2815. This provides a much better power to weight ratio on a 4S battery than what was the stock motor, the Finwing M2220.

Like the Air Titan, the Penguin has a undercarriage fitted but more like what you’d expect to see on a glider. This makes the aircraft more slippery through the air cutting down on drag and weight, whilst also allowing for takeoff’s and landings on short grass or tarmac. Alternatively, the model is designed to be hand lauched with ease.
