^sheesh that jogged a 10 year old memory.

I don't think he was even "Trappy" at that point. I think he was "nastycop420" at that point.

Parajared ------------2hrs ---------- Multiplex Heron

Hi Tim I would like to toss in my PB for two hours in the "Max Flight Time" category. It may not amount to a hill of beans, but it's my hill...

Nanos in general fly squirrley in the wind. It's airplanes with more mass to them that get banged around by the wind less.

Wings in general aren't stable camera platforms. They look really cool (Drak especially) but derpy-looking platforms with actual fuselages and tail feathers like the Talon/Skyhunter/MTD fly smoother....

Small brushed motor quads is where I would start. Good for flying around the house and learning the ropes. Even if you are a pro at FPV I think you can still have a total blast with a tiny quad. They...

Ranger is good, MTD is good.

I like the XUAV Talon the best of the 2-ish meter endurance/cargo ships so far. I like the Talon the best because it's more rigid the MTD. It flies smooth at 100mph...

I'm fond of burying the Dragonlink antenna in the tail feathers and laminating over the top. The antenna is still pretty long so you still get a bit of "whisker" poking out of the top of the vertical...

Kahnx had the right idea with his runcam split glider (Funray).

I think better aero could be attained however than what he did. I would be inclined to affix the camera straight to the servo head...

Turn a 2.6 meter foamy into a 3.6 meter foamy using the Armin method?

Thanks,
In paragliding school I was taught to step on the "speedbar" a device that pulls the leading edge of the paraglider forward, makes you fly faster but also sink out faster too. In the RC...

Nice writeup. Looking forward to seeing some videos.

It's a multiplex Heron. My mph to kph calculations escape me at the moment but it's 8mph cambered (for thermalling) 32mph reflexed (for penetration) and about 22-ish for what I feel to be the most...

I'm a fan of the Multiplex Heron

I presume any airplane with a large low RPM prop would fit the bill, tractor being better than pusher noise-wise. Sailplanes tend to be built this way because people want to gain a bunch of altitude...

I kinda like the idea of a scavenger hunt. I could get a FPVlab shirt even WOW! I would have done it for free.

We should have a limit on video length so the judges don't have to review a bunch of...

Lumenier Pagoda 2 has outperformed Bluebeam, Spironet, and any of my "clover style" antennas. I have heard VAS's Ion antenna is pretty good but haven't tried it personally.

No,
It looks exactly the same. My Mighty Helm of Dorkiness/the Dork Helm is significantly more "immersive" than anything else I've seen, the image is huge. It's that mondo-cheap $25 Quanum V2 Pro...

Yeah,
I used Dominator V1s for about 4 years.

It was worth it for me but maybe not for you.
-DVR became more and more useful to me. Eventually I wanted it on every single flight, didn't want to...

Consider me inspired
