Very nice build ! I like that you don't ruin the wing profil ! very very smart and clean build ! It was also smart when u used a lipo warning + mic instead of OSD, I am so going to think about that solution on my next fpv plane. Wich video tx/rx??
@stonebayrocker Hey, this is my old and ugly swift 2, i have made a new one now, look at my newer video "My new FPV Swift 2" (RL85Ukjis00) It got much better profile :-)
hey petleh! long toime ehh? Are you still flying fpv? I just got the maxi swift today and im going to be converting to fpv too! How does it handle all the gear? later!
@magicmike1122 Yes i usually fly a lot of fpv, but for now it is to cold over here, the radio signal would freeze and drop to the ground.. If you got a maxi swift you will be able to carry a horse :-) I see no issue with it carrying the fpv gear. By the way i am building a new fpv swift2 now, the one in this video died after landing in water. The new one will be more waterproof and have the camera on top. Tips: reinforce with matrix threaded fiber tape, and it will be almost indestructible !
@petleh82 ohh well here in california usually beautiful but lately really rainy so no flying for about a week. Sweden is beautiful otherwise right? Im swedish to but dont speak it. Anyways thanks for the tip and info. How you going to water proof everything? I want to make a fpv plane that can fly in all weather, maybe my funjet since she can handle 25mph + winds just fine. New project after the swift!!! Also i saw that you mounted everything on the bottom, can i mount my stuff on top?
@magicmike1122 To make my plane more waterproof i plan to build in more stuff inside of the wings. I am also going to mount the cam on top this time, and i will have no pan and tilt (no need on this plane i think).. Before you start cutting anything, tape the stuff on to make sure cg and balance is fine. So you are Swedish to ? Was your ancestors the Swedish immigrants ? One nice thing about Sweden is that we have real internets over here! I have 100mbit to my home, thats normal here ;-) ha ha
@petleh82 sounds cool! My dads side go all the way back to Sweden so something like that. Last night i got the servos in and the motor mounted, and the planes together of course. Today just placing everything, but yes i wont cut anything out yet.
@coinworker Ms Composit Swift II, motor: TURNIGY 28-26 16A 1900Kv Brushless Outrunner, esc: TURNIGY Plush 18amp Speed Controller, battery: Rhino 1250mAh 31P 20C Lipoly, propeller: APC 6x4e, (hobbyking) I use the same setup in my nighflyer look at my other vid "Swift II "Night flyer" build"...
Using 2,4 Ghz video and rc would cause interference in the video and probably reduced rc range, but 1,3 Ghz video works perfect with 2,4Ghz rc systems.

Well done - clean work - good idea (hiding the Cam, and popping out, when in use!!!)
you use 2,4 Ghz RC --- and also 2,4Ghz on your Video???

After test flight i have moved the receiver away from the video tx, since it was affected by it...
