I would actually say no to the Penguin and the Titan, the Penguin was a short lived flash in the pan that ultimately ended up not being that great of a plane, the Titan is also not really a ground breaker of any sorts and hardly bought / flown.
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

I liked MarkLincs' Titan but it scores very poorly compared to a Skywalker for ease of use (i.e. loading it into the car for actually going flying). .. it's just too big and unwieldy. The type of plane you should just be able to taxi out of a garage and launch up the road ideally :laugh:

I put the penguin on there as it had the front pod open area that everyone rushed out to get initially.  The titan (back in the day) IMO was the last bastion of "how big are we going to go in FPV" and was being built specifically to carry cameras etc.

All good in the generation of discussion.... :)

i always thought the FX series were quite new and not really a ground breaker next to the ritewing/X8 etc?
