Thought id share my summer FPV platform im putting together.
630 grams AUW RTF which includes 2S2600mah lipos.
Providing there are thermals i should be aloft for some time :)

Oohh that's lovely, will float for several ice-ages.
How do you plan to get it aloft into the thermals? Aero-tow?  ;D
Be careful as you turn for home - the LiPos and camera will be between the VTX antenna and your goggles...
Good luck  :P

Thanks, im uncertain of the final layout as of yet.

I dont plan on long range maybe 1KM at most so signal shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Launch method was going to be right arm gentle chuck and hope :)

Nice one I just finished putting together a weasel trek & looking forward to hitting the slope soon
