Looking at that one myself, but waiting for HK to have them in Aussie stock....need something zippy, it's tireing being a Bomber pilot on the Skywalker..wanna be a fighter pilot for a change

Sounds like you need the trusty old funjet.

I wonder if they float?

Hey Peril,

Whats the CoG that you are using? i have asked you in a pm too.

+ 1 on the SkyFun, heaps of space to work with but a bigger motor/ESC makes CG easier to maintain.... but I do want to 'Funjet up' at some point also...

I love the simplicity of the 'Naked Fighter' FPV setup, warning though, they promote low% flight lines

Team Lean and Mean 'The Naked Fighters'

lol

WO

.... as long as you can launch them without crashing!

Was that 10km out and back?
What battery did you use?

Rips along nicely on a HET 4W15 (2200kV) with 6X4 prop. BSII OSD, DL LRS, good for 20km duration.

a Zippy Flightmax 3S 2200.

I did 3 trips out and back to 3km, and had enough to float around a bit before landing.

I could probably fit a 2700 or a 3000 in there and get 30km, but it would be impossible to launch without a bungee.

Man.. i'm itching for an FPV trip this weekend.. thinking about south of sydney somewhere maybe beach front or hinterland... something... anything!!..

anyone interested in a meet up? sat morn? sunday morn?

comes on guys, time for a meet ;-)...

Mmm, wait 1 (grabs ruler)

I see a 65mm mark on my wing (as per those build threads). Seems slightly nose heavy at this, which is safe.

PS I do wish I was there to see that

I just noticed I have 4x PMs, can I set it to email me on PM?

I fly mine on 3000mAh 3s, just need to increase the launch angle and apply more power.

PM emails set, I'll get a reminder now, fancy software stuff for us older dudes
