[DaveyLC]

I think I've come to the conclusion ill end up with another maxi swift but ill cut it down and blunt nose it :)

Found a UK supplier if anyone is still interested, £75 not a bad price, black and white available: http://www.electricwingman.com/tbs-caipirinha-fpv-white.aspx

Sorely tempted ;)

I still cant work out how TBS can achieve an all-up-weight of not much more than 600g? The spared and laminated foam on my current build was nearly 600g on its own and its not much bigger than the Caipirinha :D

Helium filled EPP foam?

I have to admit, I saw the size of it, weighed up the equipment to go in it, and I wonder how they acheive that weight too.  I reallymust get around to finishing mine off, just got the wiring to do, and some decorations to help orientate it when flying LOS.

Cheers

The battery is nearly 1/3rd of that weight (just over 200g) and I'd imagine the RC gear, motor, prop, rods, servos and vTX has to be coming up to 200g? Then add a GoPro? I doubt the foam and winglets are under 200g? :D

[Andy Sayle]

Maybe they have been cheeky, and not included the GoPro weight?

[FPVSteve]

which battery as its meant to run on a 2 cell

[DaveyLC]

3300 2s = 200g :)

I'm still wondering how they get that kind of efficiency! A tiny GoPro hauling wing with 35min flight time capability?! Must be that motor, shame it's $50! Trying to find an alternative, but not very successfully :P

Mine is the TBS set up throughout and I get half that!!!! 17-20 mins depending how you fly.

I'm running an Axi 2208/26, Jeti ECO 12 ESC, 3000mAh lipo and folding prop.
Comfortably getting 22mins with around 20% left in batt.
With a 3300 maybe 25mins but I think 35mins would be pushing it!
