  I like the look of this version...He needs to dump that GoPro, thats going to do nothing for its performance.

Is this going to be available in the New Year Steve?

Fuselage is definitely fatter and rounder.

Just not liking that nose at all, apart from that yeah looks decent

The footage was taken by a Mini Talon v1 with a gimbal on the front ... I would like to see a v1 vs v2 comparison to see which is most efficient - space wise the v2 looks good but the v1 is/was a really nice plane tbh

Dealbreaker?

They don't even cut in a camera mount platform? Here Mr Newton plainly shows he's had to bodge a cut on the front to fit anything.

Am I missing something here? Seems like a fairly pointless airframe if there's not even any mount points for camera gear.

Yeah seems daft to me, at least have the nose with a cutout, but with the option of clipping on a smooth nose.

Like the MFD Crosswind, just not a great nose.
