Shes looking packed, lol, I have the same problem, trying to get all my kit in an easy star.
regards G :)
That's why I switched to the flying truck - Skywalker
Blimey, impressed that you fitted all that in there.
Yup thats a lotta kit in not a lot of space, well done :)
WOW where you in the boy scouts ? You should get a badge for packing that ;D
Fair play but have you tested that it works?
Those wires are awfully close to each other, you might get interference when you open the throttle for instance.
Are you using the standard folding prop? I found it to be really lacking in power before installing all my FPV equipment. It would have struggled to gain altitude! I changed the prop for a Graupner CAM 11x8 and it is a power house. Pulls vertical with the standard motor with FPV equipment installed and only pulls 20 amps. Great for getting up there and doing what the Radian does best. The Graupner prop is an easy fit. You just need to drill the holes out on the root of the prop to fit the Parkzone spinner pins. Folds back flush with the body just the the original prop. Best mod I have ever done for £6.

I was toying with revamping my old chris-foss centi-phase for fpv but the more i see of the this model the more i like it. :D
Are there issues with the prop up front for your camera guys. ?
dizzy
It can be annoying, but once i tried it i found it not that bad, plus once your up there you cut the motor anyway
give me a clear view with a pusher prop any day :)
G
I can see the prop on my easy glider pro, it doesn't bother me as once your up the motor is off most of the time anyway.
