Recommend cheap practice fpv wing

[mrorange26]

I have just ordered a falcon evo but would like a small fpv tough wing to practice with.
What would people recommend.

[iPeel]

The Evo is pretty strong, I haven't managed to kill my latest one yet even going straight in at 60mph at the last Mad Dogs.

If you want to look after your Hornet and get something cheap and strong to bash about though, the Hornet is a great laugh.

So are you saying hornets are good.

[CurryKitten]

Hornets are good, and lots of fun.  It's hard to hurt them as they weigh practically nothing.

I'd get a Falcon Evo, but despite my original Falcon crashing and smashing in all ways and being at least 60% glue, it comes back together and still flies lovely.

 I would highly recommend a wing wing to practise with, I fly mine like a mini quad(stupidly) and it's tough as tough could be, it is a bit beaten up now but the only thing I've ever broken is the canopy(equipment cover) and that was just a splodge of hotglue to fix. It's been crashed into trees, nose dived straight in to a field and all sorts lol. With a 1400kv, 6x5prop on 1300mAh 3s carrying a mobius and FPV cam and VTX, it goes really well, perhaps 7 minutes flying silly, 10 just chilling.

A video to show how it flys...

Told you wrong about the motor though in the previous post, it's the 2200kv one you want not 1400  ;)  http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__28403__Turnigy_D2826_6_2200kv_Outrunner_Motor_UK_Warehouse_.html

Any chance you could post some pictures of where you put your fpv etc

[jt]

This was when I first did it, I just cut a slot in the canopy for the board cam and 3d printed a little 'table' for the mobius(if you get one and don't have access to a printer I could do you one for postage). Later I cut out a small piece of foam out of the nose and put a fatshark cam in(just because I don't like the way those board cameras transition from light to dark lol)


Here's how it compares to the Falcon Evo.

Here's another option

This is the PNF version that comes with all the flight electronics... 2200kv motor, servos, ESC. no laminating, no building ply middle sections, no cutting blank foam for servos or gluing on motor mounts. Apparently as long as you've got a RX and LiPo to go in it, it's ready to fly in under 20 minutes out of the box.

At this price I'd say it's ideal for practising... you may not even want a Falcon EVO afterwards if it meets your requirements.

Thanks for all the info.

By the way,  since my post about the skyray, mines just turned up and I've already built it :)

[mrorange26]

How did it take to build

[BlueFlyer]

About 30 mins including the fpv gear

[mrorange26]

Can you post a picture with fpv installed.
Isnt it better to get a wing made of epp rather than epo as alot stronger.
