BANDIT
A fast, agile sub-250 g FPV wing developed for low-level flying and aerobatics.
BANDIT is a 600 mm 3D-printed FPV wing designed for proximity, aerobatics and fast low-level flying. The tested 4S setup remains below 249 g, has recorded 198 km/h, and can exceed 20 minutes when flown efficiently.
Digital aircraft package
Includes the BANDIT aircraft files, assembly jigs, user manual, print guidance, aircraft-specific INAV setup resources and future BANDIT updates. The airframe is designed around compact fixed-wing flight controllers rather than one proprietary board. No physical parts are shipped.
This is what BANDIT is built for.
Low lines through the field, close passes and terrain-led FPV flying from the compact sub-250 g setup. BANDIT is happiest when the line stays low and the pace stays high.
Core specifications.
The main figures for the tested BANDIT setup.
From slicer to first flight.
The BANDIT user manual brings the complete build together: part preparation, assembly, wiring, INAV setup, centre of gravity, control checks and pre-flight guidance. The supplied project files give the intended orientations, supports, modifiers and reference masses for the printed structure.
The handling is designed into the wing.
BANDIT uses progressive geometric twist together with a BSLD-lite spanload philosophy rather than treating the wing as a simple flat lifting surface. The outer sections run at progressively lower local incidence, deliberately unloading the tips relative to the inner wing as angle of attack increases.
The design goal is not to make the aircraft stall-proof. It is to make the outer wing less eager to quit first, preserve elevon effectiveness for longer, and give the aircraft a more useful transition between fast flight, high-angle-of-attack manoeuvring and recovery.
Performance with receipts.
BANDIT's headline speed and endurance figures are backed by recorded flights from the tested setup. Open either image to inspect the supporting record.
Recorded top speed
GPS-recorded peak speed from the tested 4S BANDIT configuration. Results depend on build, battery condition, propeller, weather and flight path.
Recorded endurance
Achieved while cruising with the recommended 4S 1100 mAh LiHV setup. Fast Acro and sustained high-throttle flying reduce flight time substantially.

Launch. Climb. Go fly.
BANDIT is hand-launched using INAV launch mode. The setup is designed to make the first few seconds simple so you can concentrate on giving the aircraft a clean throw and letting the flight controller establish the climb.
-
01
Connect the battery
Power the aircraft and complete your normal pre-launch checks.
-
02
Enable launch mode
Arm the aircraft and select the configured INAV launch mode.
-
03
Set throttle to mid
Set the throttle to approximately mid-stick so the launch routine is ready to take over.
-
04
Launch cleanly overhead
Give BANDIT a firm, clean throw above you with the aircraft pointed safely into open air.
-
05
Enjoy
Let the launch routine establish the climb, take control and go fly.
Use the launch settings supplied for your supported BANDIT configuration and confirm motor direction, control direction, arming behaviour and launch-mode operation before the first flight.
Core electronics.
BANDIT is packaged around compact fixed-wing flight-controller form factors rather than one board. Core Wing F405 Mini V2, SpeedyBee F405 Wing Mini, Matek F405-WMO, Holybro mini fixed-wing boards and similar mini wing FCs can be used where the footprint, connector access and required I/O suit the installation. The exact wiring, firmware target and CLI/configuration must always match the board you install.

The airframe is broadly compatible with mini fixed-wing flight controllers, but configuration is not universal. Board orientation, firmware target, UART/port mapping, servo outputs, power distribution and INAV settings must match the specific controller used. WUDFLY-supplied configuration files are board-specific starting points; builders using another compatible mini FC should transfer the BANDIT aircraft setup to the correct board rather than loading a mismatched CLI.

BANDIT FAQ
Practical answers for builders comparing the aircraft or preparing a BANDIT build.
What is BANDIT?
BANDIT is a fast, agile, sub-250g 3D-printed FPV wing designed for proximity flying, aerobatics, fast low-level passes and compact digital FPV flying.
How fast is BANDIT?
BANDIT has reached a GPS-recorded peak speed of 198 km/h with the tested 4S setup. The recorded-performance section includes the supporting screenshot.
Is BANDIT under 250 g?
BANDIT is designed around a specified electronics setup targeting an all-up weight below 249 g.
What flight controllers can BANDIT use?
The airframe is designed around the mini fixed-wing FC class rather than a single board. Core Wing F405 Mini V2, SpeedyBee F405 Wing Mini, Matek F405-WMO, Holybro mini fixed-wing boards and comparable mini wing FCs can be used where they physically fit and provide the required I/O. The exact firmware target, wiring and INAV configuration still need to match the board used.
What video system does BANDIT use?
BANDIT is designed around DJI O4 Lite digital FPV.
What do I get when I buy BANDIT?
You get the digital aircraft files, assembly jigs, user manual, print guidance, supported INAV CLI files and future BANDIT updates. No physical parts are included.
Are future BANDIT updates included?
Yes. A BANDIT purchase includes free lifetime access to BANDIT file, documentation and supported configuration updates published through WUDFLY.
Is BANDIT a long-range aircraft?
BANDIT has useful endurance for its size, but it is mainly designed for fast proximity wing flying, aerobatics and low-level FPV rather than dedicated long-range missions.
