Title: It starts
Post by: FPVSteve on March 21, 2011, 02:01:57 PM
Well, cut my teeth on a little 4ch Cessna that I bought in January, just ordered a Wild Hawk so I can get nicely into FPV - now to source some gear :) In the meantime, plenty of aerial videos with my little turnigy cam.

Any recommendations for gear that fits nicely into a (35MHz) Wild Hawk?

Looking forward to becoming part of this community  ;D Some great info and, more importantly, lots of people having fun.

Having not had any experiance with the shy hawk i googled it.

Basically its a shorter winged radian. Good in the flying sense, should be very easy to fly, in the FPV sense, your going to be pushed for room a little.

As its your first FPV plane you shouldnt want to cram it full of complication at first so this should be fine.

So your looking at just a camera, a video transmiteer and thats it on board. The ESC will need space to remain cool so i wouldnt put any more than that in for now.

So either a 25mw 5.8ghz transmitter or a 10mw 2.4ghz transmitter has more than enough room in there and i`d mount the camera either to the rear of the canopy or just behind the canopy for better security.
