Cheers dude, just setup my control rods & servo travels.

Just need to install esc & then waiting for vtx regulator which should be here next week.

Looking like I might still needing some nose weight, or I need a really really small OSD to squeeze in there!

You shouldn't need a reg Dude. I ran my Vtx straight off a 4S on my first Zeph with no probs whatsoever. I did glue a small ally heat-sink to the top however.

Yeah Spook, I remember your cool little heat sink, that was nice! Just didn't wonna run it on 16v as the buggers get hot enough on 12v!! Lol

Rather run it on 7.2v, should get less heat & less noise in the video too.

Well it's finished apart from the 7.2v bec for the vtx.

That "should" be here tomorrow with luck.

Got a 5.25x4.75 prop pulling about 20a & weighs in at 650g AUW

What do we think, will it fly??

Oh yeah, flew it the other day, is a little tough to wingtip launch but flies really nicely! It's fairly quick too, want to mod it for a 6" prop though.

Will post some vid up later ;)

Looks Great!

Looks like Mini wings are really convenient = fun!

Now I'm wondering how small you could go?

How much does all the fpv gear weigh?

regards

Cheers lads, it's great fun for sure, the Fpv gear is a standard immersion rc vtx & 2g camera with 7.2v bec. It don't weigh much!
