Secret to success with these things is keeping the weight down. I can fly for 10 mins with an 850 3S which isn't bad.

Try 4s with a 5x4.5 tri blade...... its is like on rails.......its a need for speed

I have a 1806 2700kv motor to try with a 20A little bee fav esc. Still need to find some paint for it too.

Halfords ArtFX range works really well.

Just ordered myself one of these bad boys.

I got the "mega deal" which comes with everything apart from receiver and FPV kit.

I've got one of these I'm putting on it:

It arrived today, but the workbench is busy with other ongoing mini-projects so won't be starting the build for at least the next few days

Haha! Within hours of writing this you'd started a build log! Couldn't resist could you?!

Not sure if this counts as having landed or not...

BlueFlyer · November 26, 2016, 08:15:34 PM

course it does... you landed in a tree.

Dillwhacker · November 26, 2016, 08:23:23 PM

I have to disagree....
The word landing includes the word land.
There's a clue right there.....
:P

Best news though was that I had the dvr running, footage compiling now :D

Dillwhacker · November 26, 2016, 09:29:49 PM

Cool !
Hope you got it back OK & not too much damage.

dp106 · November 26, 2016, 09:32:43 PM

Only damage is a small chunk taken out of the leading edge. More annoying was I lost the vtx and antenna. It was borrowed so I'd just taped it down so I could remove it and give it back without it being covered in glue. Even with a bright orange antenna and 5 of us looking it was no where to be seen

Here's footage from the ill fated flight. youtu.be/iPcl4Da9uoQ
