@SvenOkonomi ..... motor Turnigy 2217 16turn 1050kv 23A Outrunner (24A 270 watts - 10 x 4.7 SF prop - 40A Plush Esc
Our club field is surrounded by trees ..... I had my first flight down there today with this plane ..... take-off straight ahead over the trees ..... it made me think it might be nice to have an extra 100 watts .....
@sord Hmm so I guess the Turnigy TR 35-30A 1700kv wont do the trick? Ive got this plane coming in and I planned on using this motor, but I guess I better shouldnt?
How strong do you estimate the wind was? The model was was not bobbing up and down like my MPX Easyglider or EasyFly would be doing in the same windy condition. I'm guessing the HK model probably does not need a stabilization system to keep it steady/level.
Your flying spot looks great - you seem to be higher than the clouds!
@tsisapik .... I would estimate 8 knots max and 2 to 3 later on ..... I have now posted a second video with a camera onboard ..... it gives a much better idea of the FPV possibilities ...... have a look and see what you think ....
the plane does seem very stable ..... I'm looking forward to seeing how it flys in a bit more wind .....
@asadasif ..... why do I want more power? ..... It's designed for FPV and camera/video work ...... at no stage did I use anywhere near WOT ..... I didn't need to .....
@asadasif ..... I have a onboard video that I hope to post soon ..... it shows the concept much better than viewing from the ground ..... it shows the benefits of slow controlled flying ...... I think this plane will be a real success for that type of work ......
@donjuanzx9 ..... If you look at rcgroups.com there is a couple of threads covering the epp fpv plane simulated camera gear weight of 215g ...... 3 cell lipo 3000 mAh 238g ......(this size for six flights) 3 cell lipo 3300 mAh 275g ...... (last two flights) I need this lipo size to get the C of G ..... motor Turnigy 2217 16turn 1050kv 23A Outrunner (24A 270 watts - you dont need anything like WOT) 10 x 4.7 SF prop 40A Plush Esc Futaba 2.4 tx/Rx

@sord I looked at the other FPV video and it was spectacular. It does look very promising. Thank you for posting!
