The X-UAV Mini Talon is widely regarded as one of the most successful and versatile fixed-wing FPV platforms ever designed. Engineered for long-range cruising, autonomous mapping, and extended flight times, this 1300mm wingspan airframe combines a compact footprint with unmatched interior volume and exceptional aerodynamic efficiency.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Design Highlights

• Cavernous Internal Fuselage: Unlike traditional slender gliders, the Mini Talon features a deep, pod-like fuselage. This allows pilots to comfortably install large flight controllers (such as ArduPilot/INAV setups), telemetry radios, video transmitters, and massive Li-Ion battery packs (e.g., 4S4P or 6S2P 18650/21700 cells) without crowding electronics.

• Aerodynamic Efficiency & V-Tail Design: The inverted V-tail layout reduces drag compared to traditional T or X tails, while protecting the control surfaces during belly landings. Combined with its optimised airfoil, the airframe tracks steadily in crosswinds and yields ultra-low current consumption in steady cruise.

• Durable EPO Construction: Moulded from tough EPO foam, the frame withstands rough field landings, belly scrapes, and minor collisions. Moulded carbon-fiber spar channels reinforce the wings against flex during high-speed maneuvers or heavy takeoff weight.

• Modular Portability: Features removable main wings that utilize a carbon fiber joiner tube, making field assembly fast and transportation in standard vehicles or backpacks effortless.

• FPV & HD Camera Friendly: The nose cone is designed specifically to accept standard micro/mini FPV flight cameras alongside HD action cameras (such as GoPro, DJI Action, or RunCam) for high-definition aerial video capture.

Recommended Hardware Setup

• Motor: 2216 / 2814 size Brushless Motor (800KV – 1250KV depending on cell count)

• ESC: 40A – 60A with switching BEC

• Servos: 4x 9g Metal Gear Servos (2x Ailerons, 2x V-tail)

• Propeller: 9×6 to 10×5 (depending on motor KV and 3S/4S/6S supply)

• Battery: 4S 5000mAh–10000mAh LiPo or 4S/6S Li-Ion pack for maximum endurance (up to 90+ minutes of flight time)

Package Includes:

1. EPO foam parts for wings, fuselage, and tail
2. Motor mount and hardware
3. Control rods and horns
4. Instruction manual

The X-UAV Talon (1718mm) is an iconic fixed-wing FPV and aerial mapping platform known for its massive endurance, stability, and load-carrying capacity. Built specifically for serious long-range pilots and commercial mapping missions, this large-scale airframe offers a high-efficiency V-tail layout and an exceptionally wide fuselage bay.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Highlights

• Huge Interior Volume: The cavernous main fuselage comfortably fits large battery arrays (such as 4S/6S 10,000mAh–20,000mAh LiPo or Li-Ion packs) alongside autopilot flight controllers (ArduPilot/Pixhawk), companion computers, and telemetry radios.

• High Efficiency & Endurance: With its generous 60 sq. dm wing area, low wing loading, and aerodynamic V-tail design, the 1.7m Talon easily achieves 1 to 2+ hours of continuous flight time depending on payload.

• Modular Assembly: Plug-in main wings with heavy-duty carbon fiber spars allow for easy teardown and transport despite its large wingspan.

• Designed for Mapping & Long Range: Features a clear, unobstructed camera view due to the rear pusher motor layout, plus removable nose options for downward or forward-facing camera gear.

• Reinforced Structure: Uses internal laser-cut plywood structural framing for the motor mount, wing saddle, and landing gear attachment points to handle heavy takeoff weights.

Recommended Power Setup

• Motor: 3542 / 3720 / 2820 size Brushless Motor (600KV – 1000KV based on cell count)
