Hey but.. nice video! I'm thinking of going with the 6 series 2700kv motor like the one you have. Do you think it has enough power to handle fpv? How difficult was installation of the motor?

Thanks

@ehsanaman222 The installtion wasnt bad, I would say yes. It pushes my gopro on with no problem. Make sure you have the right CG!

do u have an update? Id like to see ur FPV progress?!

[MrAlexandros99]

how many times i can recharge it

[smartcocker]

@MrAlexandros99 Recharge what?

I have a lipo battery that last anywhere from 30-55 minutes depending on how many thermals i pick up. I have 4 batteries, so i could fly non stop as the first batter charges while the 1 is in the plane and 2 are ready to go.

@smartcocker at 19 seconds my video shows how to do what ur asking. I just didnt finish it.

@ZagarBostjan Sorry for the late response! Its water based paint! You cant go wrong with it. So I airbrushed it on. If you have the means, do it that way. Airbrush kits are fun and inexpensive, look on amazon.

@shimanodude101 No, its possible. I thought about putting elevators on mine but havent. You can use the same wings just slightly modified. Google it, there is a site that is dedicated to Easy star mods, its great!

@AnimationSector Thanks! I had a blast building my first RC plane and flying it. My adrenaline was pumping when it actually flew lol

[smartcocker]

@VancouverRaver No way bud! Its water based paint via the airbrush so its harmless. Its not gonna dissolve the foam. I am currently on my 3rd EasyStar frame and all the electronics have survived!!! =) In my defense, a buddy crashed my last easy star lol.

[VancouverRaver]

I thought painting this kind of foam dissolved it.. Am I wrong? Is there a special kind of paint to use?

[AnimationSector]

havnt heard this song in so long, nice paint job

@smartcocker I bought the RTF version of this model and it was a 3 channel set up (elevator, rudder and throttle) and I was wondering if it was possible to buy different wings with ailerons+servos and install it into my 3 channel version to turn it into a 4 channel trainer or am I just being ridiculous?
