I pre-ordered a Razor FPV-version on September 22nd, 2020 and the delivery to Germany took a little longer than expected. But today I got a nice parcel with no damage. The Razor looks pretty good, is very similar to a ZOHD Drift and a bit bigger. It is very easy to assemble in less than 15 minutes. Then you just have to install a receiver and a battery and configure the FC a bit, since it is apparently a downsized ZOHD KoPilot. I am already familiar with the Drift and will maiden my Razor as soon as the whether is okay again and I do not expect any problems.

The Razor is a great airframe and an excellent flier. It's a clever design, the parts are sturdy, assembly is easy, and the plane comes easily apart to fit in a compact box. It's a great plane for a backpack or to pack in a suitcase. BUT... The stock prop and spinner are trash; they are difficult to balance and introduce a lot of vibration. Toss them and buy a quality 40mm aluminum spinner and blades for 3.17mm motor shaft. This is a big plane for the recommended 2S 18650 lithium ion pack. Get high-drain lithium ion cells rated for at least 20 amps continuous. 10-amp cells can't keep up; the plane lacks power and flight times are short. If you want long flight times, consider building a 3S 18650 pack (two cells forward, one to the rear) or a 2S 21700 pack with Samsung 40T 4000mah cells end-to-end extending under the wing. With a 2S Samsung 40T pack, I get 30-40 minute flights. Too bad the battery compartment isn't big enough for a 2200 mah lipo, which is what this plane really needs. The FPV battery hatch cover accommodates a simple camera like the Runcam Racer3, but there isn't enough clearance between the hatch and the battery to easily fit a camera/DVR setup like the Runcam Split 3 Micro. I wound up building a camera pylon to mount the Split 3 Micro on the hatch over the flight controller, with the DVR board mounted on the bottom of the hatch cover. For short LOS flights, this plane is great right out of the box. With a few easy mods, it's a great plane for longer FPV flights. Either way, replace the stock prop. It's trash.
