    AUW is going to be around 1200-1300g, I wonder if that's going to be too heavy. The motor puts out about 1100g full throttle. Maybe I just need a bigger motor? We'll see. I am still figuring out how to mount the vtx so it will be completely modular, after that it's maiden time.

    Should be ok, mine was around 1250g when we met up a few weeks ago. Just give it a good chuck with plenty of throttle on launch.

    That is almoust 1:1 thrust to weight ratio. That is sport performance. Not bad.

    Cool, ok. Thanks guys. I am stoked to maiden it, but I wonder if I should wait and maiden at the meet since that's only 10 days away.

    I am wondering if we should go in together on a bungee launch platform? Try to have it done for the meet. Beats hand tossing.

    SecretSpy (Brian) has one. It's pretty small for our wings, though. A bungee would definitely be cool otherwise I'll toss you off if you toss me off!

    LOL We can all stand in a circle and toss each other off at the same time.

    While singing Kumbaya!

    I am a little gun shy after my first FPV toss with my Sky Surfer nose dived into the dirt ejecting my camera pod 10 ft.

    this. I almost have my ez ready to fpv.. and it would be way more fun to bungee launch it than hand launch it. That said, I hope I can even make it to the meet. I have to ask today if I can get some people to cover my shifts that weekend.
