Aww, I want one of these badly. Looking forward to the videos!!

I can't believe the amount of planes Rob has got. I too like the look of the Tundra, the only thing I don't like is the tyres made of EPO. Maybe replace them with some Fun Cub wheels?
Look forward to seeing that one fly Rob.
Cheers, Mark
Alright me old cock sparrow chum, by crikey!
Roger, Roger. Do you have clearance Clarence for that v

Coyote

I have heard of these mentions in recent videos but didn't know what it was, very much like a super cub isn't it. It looks a good size going off the floor tiles or is the picture slightly misleading ?
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

FPVSteve

1300mm I think, they just look like great fun :D

BlueFlyer

so are we going backwards in FPV now? lol

great looking plane, and from what I've read and seen on the web, it really is a good plane.

Not sure about it's use for FPV though... surely the whole point of planes like the skywalker, bixler, skyhunter, zephyrs, draks, twinstars, skymules (and so on) is that there's no prop at the front getting in the way of the view?

You can't usually see it anyway - the only time I coudl see it on y EasyFly Glider was when I was facing directly into the sun with a really crappy camera.

Each type has their place.   I find HD cameras really show the wavy propeller.

The flight cam....  not so much.

This is what I mean... the HD footage.

Like you say, things being in the way of the flight cam aren't really an issue and I notice you don't have a HD cam on there so it wouldn't bother you in this instance.

It's the people who go to the trouble of putting a HD cam on their plane and not positioning it right, or having it somewhere where something is in shot, like the nose or a prop lol

FPVSteve

I kinda like having a nose in shot, makes me feel like the video is actually on a plane rather than just floating through the sky.. *shrugs*

horses for courses then isn't it. down to what people prefer.

I think my missus would throw a right wobbler if I got a Tundra so soon after buying a Skymule lol

The answer to that being, "Yes but look how much I saved by not buying a Drak"

I find it best to deliver models to the office.

Then hide them in the shed.
