After many frustrating days and nights, the 1900mm Skywalker is safe to go for it's maiden flight. My first plane to have a UHF system in it. Too bad the weather isn't looking too promising now. Charging up the batteries just in case it clears.

Check the website...

That environment is brutal on Rc gear. It has to be much worse for fpv cams and electronics. I went in 2001 and everything that I took was pretty much ruined by the gypsum dust, including my lungs for 3 weeks. It's a hippie heaven, and I'd love to do it again, but my wife won't let me hang out with thousands naked 22 year old girls anymore.. Not to mention the "random tests" I get at work

I need to order a DL antenna for my Zepher, do I get the 30 or 36 inch antenna? Do I get better reception with the longer antenna?

Either is fine ....no difference in reception. Get the length that works best for your setup placement.

Thanks, just ordered.... also picked up 2 JR DS821's and an Ice 100 today

This covering arrived and looks great, it is the colored CF vinyl- white for top and red for bottom

Sounds slick Bradley...ice 100?! Pushing some power! I have a ice 50 and can get 60mph level no prob. Dive around 115...
What motor you running? And 4s?

Shadow - I see you are in Acworth. I am over by Brookstone myself. Where are you flying FPV out here?

I think I could get away with an 80amp, but figured I could have a little headroom.

The motor is a Hyperion HP-ZS3014-12, I have found a few people using this on 4s; reports of 10x6 prop putting out 1200 watts and pulling 80 amps at WOT

Eddie.....come up to woodstock and we will fly I just got back from Canton....made a few flights with my disco quad ....workn on dialing it in.

When I drove by there the other day GC the dust bowl looked like a shopping center was being built. Are you flying at that soccer field near it?

JJ Beillo soccer fields off Arnold Mill . I also like to to fly in Canton off Bluffs Parkway near Hickory Log reservoir......a large undeveloped industrial park.

Most of my time is spent flying at noonday park but head up to JJ beillo occasionally. We all need to get together for a small FPV meet one day
