Hehe Simon.....

I managed to sneak in a LOS trimming flight a few of weeks back between all the wind and rain which showed it tail heavy so landed and stuck a spare 3S 1000mah lipo in with the main lipo as some dead weight.

It flew nice the next flight so I popped the goggles on, the WDR 600 cam in the cockpit gave a great viewpoint just like in the real thing (i.e not good view for landing !) and the pan worked fine.

The nose cam was my old first fpv cam from 2 years ago, a KX 171, a dire cam on what was a dull day.... the ground was just black with no detail could hardly see hedges from the fields, and the sky was just an even gray so no chance of trying to land with that so I ended the flight with a LOS landing.

Then the weather messed up for a couple of weeks but yesterday (Sat) was glorious up here with blue sky 5mph breeze and sunny so I took the biplane, couple of quads and a powered glider to the field.

The bipe was great to fly, the cam switching worked fine and I had swapped the KX171 for a SN555 so much better nose cam view, I have it on 4S 2200mah now as I needed extra nose weight and I put 2 lipos through it fpv, loops and inverted all good.

I've got a load of video recorded onto my BEVRC DVR and just need to get enthusiastic to edit it up and post it up.

Main problem with the bipe is it needs a flat bit of short grass or tarmac to take off and land so it means going to the flying club field, I tend to go there once for every three times at the farm so not going to get much air time with it just yet.

Ben at the farm says he will sort out a runway in the back field so that will be good..... been there today with Coyote flying his Hex.

I'll post yesterday video once edited up  :)

Nice one Paul
Can't wait for the vid, why didn't you stick a bigger 3 cell in there to counteract the c of g issue instead of a 2200 4 cell, 4000 3 cell maybe same weight and a lot more flying time, don't really need the speed of a 4 cell I would have imagined, what time do you get anyway mate
Your not selling then lol

Video as promised, flies nice just a pity I need a bit of flat ground for take off and landing as it limits my flying venues.

I'll take some photos of the finished plane and post them up.
