Yeah, planes had it, unless I stick the nose in hot water and then build it up a bit with light balsa. Main thing was the electronics, apart from the camera and the GPS everything else is OK.

Picked up a Robbe Cardinal with a couple of 3s batts for 80 Euro. Cut ailerons in it and it flys really well, good for beginners. I'll put the ardu in that with the 3DR robotics GPS and get a new cam for the FPV so I can complete the testing before I put it in my Twin boom.

Yeah, thanks mate. That's why I was asking about your Rangelink. Not impressed with the orangerx LRS and TBO i don't see the point of a frsky just for another 500 meters. For an extra bob or two a decent 433 MHz for 5kms is IMO good enough.
