Hi guys I thought a unpacking view and comparison with my faithful easystar would be in order although the build will be a steady build through the winter :)

Above take off position
below flight position hoping for clear quality video from this position :D

Wow plenty of room in there!
Very nice Dizzy, they do look fantastic and loads of room in them :)
Hemm, since I have seen this model, Im not decided, I think if the clear canopy is fitted with the camera inside, you will get to much glare and reflection, time will tell,
I now you will make a nice build with it.

I need one of those now Diz. Lost the Sky Surfer today along with vid gear etc :(
Will be following this with interest.
Cheers, Mark
What happened? :-[
Pilot error mainly. Lost radio and vid at the same time. Was about 600 meters.
Cheers, Mark
Gonna keep an eye on this one, was tempted but out came the skyhunter
Decisions, decisions mmmmmm

Here's a picture of my install so far. I've gone with the M2815 motor and keep debating whether to go with a 3S or 4S configuration. I'm going to add a step down voltage regulator so that I can go with either. I've read that others using 4S with the M2815 motor have had issues in some cases and it maybe not strictly rated to 4S? I have a spare Hacker A30 10XL which I know works great on 4S, so again, I'm debating whether to throw this on instead of the M2815!

Nice to see another build in progress i have the larger motor as i wish to fit 2 camera,a one solely for aeropics i seen in the fpvlab thread that there as been issues through over revs causing vibrations but i,m sticking with the 3s as i have several 4000ma lipo,s already :)
I,m totally undecided as to the postion of the vtx at present too :D but i,m in no hurry tbh i will eventually pick the best set up for my use :) I think my esc will end up there somewhere too ;)
good luck on your build looks like your well on the way :)
