The TBS Chapito FPV wing is the latest toy for those who’d rather be airborne than elbow-deep in a DIY disaster. It arrives as a straightforward kit—perfect for pilots who believe that building should be the easy bit, leaving plenty of time for actual flying (and perhaps a cheeky pint afterwards). Expect quick assembly, forgiving flight behaviour, and an ability to brush off minor mishaps, like a light kiss with the occasional fence.
Flight times hover around nine minutes on those ancient 1200mAh 6S packs, but don’t fret; Mads Tech assures us that it’s all about the flying fun rather than clock-watching. Just remember to keep your battery under 270g or risk turning your wing into a rather wobbly bird.
First flights are said to be stable and predictable, which is a bonus for anyone who enjoys keeping their feet off the ground. Mads recommends a few small tweaks to improve responsiveness and camera stability—because nothing says “I’m a drone pilot” quite like smooth footage over shaky chaos.
In summary, if you fancy a wing that delivers more airtime and less tinkering time, the Chapito might just be what you need. Plus, it’s had Mads wishing for the next model before he even finished flying this one, which probably says something about its charms—or maybe he just really likes wings.
