With some expo and reduced movements on the control surfaces I think this model
would make an ideal trainer. However well past that stage you might be it’s still
great fun to fly and ideal for multi plane flying where you might not want to risk
your best 3D model.
My opinion was shared by the other regular club indoor flyers especially those on
the same mode who had a go on the sticks. The enthusiasm shown was such that
this model is likely to become the recommended model for anyone who wants to fly
in our rather restrictive one basketball court flying space. A ‘standard’ model like
this would be perfect for fun events like Limbo and I know the Smart Dart ‘XS’
population in our club is about to increase rapidly.
I found that while the 310 mAh battery pack was perfectly adequate for general
flying and offered the lowest weight. The 350 mAh or 450 mAh packs are preferable
if you want to spend a lot of time looping and hovering. The 450 mAh pack gives
a 20 minute plus duration.
Personally I like to decorate even functional models, particularly if they are made
from white foam, so I applied some simple but eye-catching colour to my Smart
Dart ‘XS’. I used felt pens for the layout and acrylic paint for filling in.
