The TBS Chupito: A Wing That Almost Builds Itself

Another flying wing. Groundbreaking. Except this one, the TBS Chupito, seems to think your time is valuable. It's a compact, sub-1m platform designed to be thrown in a bag, with a neat trick up its sleeve: a new all-in-one (AIO) flight controller that drastically reduces the amount of soldering required to get airborne. This means you spend less time hunched over an iron, inhaling questionable fumes, and more time actually flying. Or crashing. We don't control your life.

The AIO is the star here, with plug-in ports for the motor, servos, and GPS. The rest of the airframe is just as versatile. Build it light with a big 2S pack for over an hour of gentle cruising, or strap in a 6S and turn it into a tiny, foam-based rocket. The choice is yours. It also comes with a proper HD camera cage in the nose, because flying in standard definition is for peasants, apparently.

Of course, it’s not flawless. As Painless360 points out in his typically thorough first-look, the tail is glued on—an interesting choice for a 'packable' wing—and you'll want to add your own leading-edge protection. But let's be honest, you were going to modify it anyway. Watch the full unboxing below to see every component before you commit.

So, should you get one? If you want a clever, compact wing that respects your building skills (or lack thereof), it’s a solid contender. For those who enjoy reading every last detail, you can find our full, unabridged analysis of Painless360's video over on the main blog post. Go on, we know you want to.
