really nice flight - I have this plane, too - but not yet in the air :-)

What a nice place to fly, looks like a golf course too :)

@dunstanpilang ..... yes a mile or two down the estuary ....

Some plane specs would be nice. What motor are you using? Propeller size? All up weight? FPV gear? She looks pretty fast, do you have to, or isnt stall speed that bad? Mine is in the mail and im worried the motor I have might be too weak..

@SvenOkonomi ..... Turnigy 2217 16turn 1050kv 23A Outrunner (24A 270 watts max 10 x 4.7 SF prop 40A TGY Plush Esc Futaba 2.4 tx/Rx Hitec 65HB tail servos (because I had them) servos are both up beside the fuse ...... TGY 380MG Ailerons (because I had them) Total Take-off weight 1750 grams (camera 215g ..... lipo 238g or 275g ..... nose ballast 50g) Stall speed is low ..... I feel the plane needs approx 100 watts more power ..... new motor on order to get 400 watts .....

[SvenOkonomi]

@sord It did seem pretty stong and fast already though. Man is that thing heavy. I dont think my motor is gonna work either, since it delivers barely 900 grams of thrust. It is 350 watts though, but 1700Kv is probably what makes it not work. What new motor did you order, so I might do the same. ;)

[sord]

@SvenOkonomi ...... correction to AUW ..... 1570g  is the take-off weight ....

excellent job- what battery are you using? how many time you can fly with this battery?

do you think the plane have enough space for two batteries in parallel?

Thank you for the vid.

[sord]

@jfcomg1554 ...... I have 3000 and 3300 mAh 3 cells lipos ....... cruising, I fly 10 minutes for an average consumption of around 1200 mAh (based on what I need to put back in during charging) ...... that is with 215g camera on board and 50g ballast up front .... I'll extend flight time once I get used to the plane and battery consumption ....

Plenty of space on board ......

Nice job - looks to be a solid platform for FPV flying. Were you recording from the camera or a ground station???

[sord]

@dolbydarma ...... from the camera ..... Canon A560 ..... I don't fly FPV right now but looking into it for the future now I have the platform for it ......
