My Flyguy should be on the NEAT fair video for this year. I showed him to Scott at SKS and his comment was "Don't crash it until I get some video!". We filmed Thursday in great weather!

Thanks Pete for carrying the flag. We're having a big FPV get together at Dave's Beach on the 29th and I plan to have my FPV, Superman and Green Lantern.

Alpea 41 Thanks for getting the Dave's Beach video up.

Stumbled on this thread and have been reading for a few hours now. Looking to build the 62" version and have a motor question. You mentioned that you had built one version with a 400w motor. Can you recommend a motor brand/part # and prop for the more powerful version?

I currently have the motor below for a future sailplane project and was wondering if it would work and what prop you would suggest..

I have a E F Power 25.. I'm not sure but I think it's heavy and too low of a Kv for the size prop that fits a 62" fly guy. It probably would do the job, I seem to remember it recommends a 10 or 11" prop.
Otto or Bob probably know better than me. The 42" fly guy needs a 7" p[rop

Does anyone have a motor/prop combination that has worked if you plan on increasing the power system for the 62" version? I see the recommendation from the build thread stating the Parkzone F4u or T-28 900kv motor at 200w, but was wondering what would be a good upgrade for a motor with more watts.

I'm flying a Scorpion 3014, 1200kv on mine with a 40 amp esc. I cut down a Parkzone Bf-109 3 blade prop to fit inside the Flyguy body. With a 3s 2200 mah battery I pull about 370 watts wide open. I usually fly about 1/2 throttle and only wide open for vertical climbs. What you have should work but would have to be flown at a higher power setting.
