Aww, I want one of these badly. Looking forward to the videos!!
I can't believe the amount of planes Rob has got. I too like the look of the Tundra, the only thing I don't like is the tyres made of EPO. Maybe replace them with some Fun Cub wheels?
Look forward to seeing that one fly Rob.
Cheers, Mark
I have heard of these mentions in recent videos but didn't know what it was, very much like a super cub isn't it. It looks a good size going off the floor tiles or is the picture slightly misleading ?
1300mm I think, they just look like great fun :D
so are we going backwards in FPV now? lol
great looking plane, and from what I've read and seen on the web, it really is a good plane.
Not sure about it's use for FPV though... surely the whole point of planes like the skywalker, bixler, skyhunter, zephyrs, draks, twinstars, skymules (and so on) is that there's no prop at the front getting in the way of the view?
You can't usually see it anyway - the only time I coudl see it on y EasyFly Glider was when I was facing directly into the sun with a really crappy camera.

Each type has their place. I find HD cameras really show the wavy propeller.
The flight cam.... not so much.

This is what I mean... the HD footage.
Like you say, things being in the way of the flight cam aren't really an issue and I notice you don't have a HD cam on there so it wouldn't bother you in this instance.
It's the people who go to the trouble of putting a HD cam on their plane and not positioning it right, or having it somewhere where something is in shot, like the nose or a prop lol
I kinda like having a nose in shot, makes me feel like the video is actually on a plane rather than just floating through the sky.. *shrugs*
horses for courses then isn't it. down to what people prefer.
I think my missus would throw a right wobbler if I got a Tundra so soon after buying a Skymule lol

The answer to that being, "Yes but look how much I saved by not buying a Drak"

I find it best to deliver models to the office.
Then hide them in the shed.

This! The goods in dept have a running tally of all the stuff I receive, I think I'm keeping them in a job to be honest!

Lol that's what i've been doing :D It's pretty much everyday i get something, even the guys in the office are moaning at me lol
there's something strangely likable about that tundra :+
Delivered to work: check.
Spendy competition DLGs all with the same colour scheme so new ones aren't obvious: check.
Just thinking about all the stuff we buy from hobby king, must be hundreds of pounds a month, why don't we start a thread for Buddy codes or whatever it's called, could save a few bob?

I've just now put my GoPro on a 360 pan servo on my Skymule, as far forward on the included FPV canopy as it will go... and the nose is in shot lol
so I take it all back lol
