Little sister to my Scout Bee

[Pooch]

Not my wing, but 'Grox' from on here's.

Acutal wing is a Bee mk. 1 (Irvine sold it as an 'X-IT' here in the UK), over 10 years old! Has gone from sloper to powered wing to FPV ship! Still going strong, I think it's pretty cool a lump of EPP has gone through so much - she got soul!

2 x 3S 2200 in parallel

2700kV brushless - it's fairly fast - 80mph plus on the level

IRC VTx

WDR600

Skew planar wheel - did have a cloverleaf but I crashed it and broke it off

Bog standard Futaba 3001s that haven't missed a beat for the last decade.

UHF

Tiny OSD in the next couple of weeks.

Still cant' believe she's still alive! I think the nose is now mostly hot glue

Just starting to stretch her legs on the fpv front thanks to a homemade helical and a new dragon link, the tiny should help as well

Can't wait to get home and flying again!

Bit of raw footage from this beastie taken a week or two ago - I don't have any GoPro footage from the SB to post yet, but I can guarantee it is a good bit more stable than even this -

FPV starts about 45 secs in and ends as I crash land a couple of fields away due to running out of battery - hence the OSD on the way

[Pooch]

Sorry for the 8 min vid - can't stand long vids myself, but I CBA editing it just now and thought it gives a good impression of how it flies.

[SENTRY]

Nice - what motor is that - and wingspan? Oh - and CG.

[Pooch]

E-flite Six Series 2700kV brushless, 48" and f*ck only knows.

Quite far forward though with the Hero2 - will measure it later.

[SENTRY]

Looks great - 10 years old too. Nice

[Pooch]

That's about its 4th colour scheme.

It's the stiffest wing I've ever seen. 2 flat carbon strips running along the top and bottom of each wing.

You can pick this thing up by the wingtip fully loaded and it doesn't flex one bit.

[Pooch]

Weight is a tiny wee bit over 3lbs and the CG is at 8 1/4 inches.

Slightly nose heavy, but it tracks like an arrow at high speed. It also lands at some rate of knots, but that's a price I'm more than willing to pay for good tracking.
