Can't afford a big one like Coyote  ;D (plus the fact I'm not tupid enough to invest that money as a total novice to this game! - but I will one day!)

Lol nice one that`l do the trick Rick, looks like a good sound investment, i look forward to your build thread :)

On about cheap glider FPV platform hows about £10 airframe ?

I was at the local model shop with my mate and seen a 10 pound throwable glider ( none rc ) and said i bet you could make that fly FPV. Might get it and try just for laughs :)

Which motor prop combo you thinking of ?

[Rick]

Got a giant cod special on the way - cheap motor and folding prop job - i'll get it flying with that and see how we go.

XYH35-42 1000kv 35A Brushless Outrunner
32mm / 3.0mm shaft 3 Blade Folding Prop Spinner (need to drill it out to 4mm as they were out of stock!)
a 40A esc and some cheap servos

should be good for a laugh!   ;D

Nice just for gliding on the cliffs too hopefully

Rick do me a favour and see if thats an ep-31 glider ?

If it is mate i wouldnt get your hopes up too much, Keith who i fly with has just mentioned it looks just like an Ep-31 which is in our local model shop. Its really really fragile, we had a look at it and straight away decided against. He has just contacted me to ask if its the same one and upon second glance it appears it is :(

If it is its a one trip pony, first crash will be its last.

[Rick]

It is!  haha
I didn't think it would be up to much at £55.  Won't be the first time I bought a pile of cack but I was under no illusions so no harm done.

thanks though.
