Had a brief flirt with a 10x6 prop on a 950kv motor and it worked, but the motor was too heavy given the distance it was up in the air, and every time I turned it wanted to fall - it acted as a lever which would attempt to invert the plane :o

Nice Steve :) You must fit pan to the Fpv cam to get the cow wings in flight ;)
don't have any decent pan servos, using a standard servo sucks as it only has about 90 degrees travel heh
You need to be wearing a pair of these too :D
