http://www.hobbyking...?idProduct=8359 Brilliant little learner plane. Glides for ages, but flies like a ducted fan jet at full speed. The stock motor and ESC will not last long though. www.giantcod.co.uk have motors for £7 and ESCs for £15. I did these with it:

Plane is a Zen - Skywalker FPV 168cm 350W brushless motor w/ 9x6 prop 60A Logging ESC 5000mAh 3S 30C LiPo Futaba 9C Tx Corona Rx + 4 MG-14 servos Separate 5A 5V UBEC for radio. Sony CCD CCTV Board Camera GoPro Hero HD in 720p 50fps wide angle mode Separate 3S 500mAh battery for video cam and tx (avoid signal noise from ESC/Motor) 2.4Ghz Video Tx/Rx w/ 13 dbi Circularly polarized patch antenna on Rx.

This is a kit, you'll need everything else too! Paul

Best in HD full screen with the sound on! Enjoy.

Yea, FPV vids will be uploaded to Vimeo, they have better HD anyway She already is all FPV'ed up, my brother was on the goggles during the flight. Just waiting for some weekend or Easter hols weather to take it somewhere nice for more GoPro'ness.

Reupped with different Audio. And a bonus slope soaring with the GoPro video: (out takes near the end are fairly funny especially landing into a family at 30mph). Like a lot of my videos they are more journals that fancy edited pieces

Grrr... Suppose I'll need to upload it again and avoid Daft Punk. Works for me, but then again it's my video LOL.

Took a while to build it, but worth it!

I donno, it just seems to like flying to Megadeth. Each to their own

The motor has been replaced as I bust the shaft trying not to hit myself in the face with the plane! Only... em... the motor in the video is pulling about 16A on an 8x8 prop.... new one pulls 30A!!! with an 8x8 and needs to go down to a 8x6 at least. Gonna be a seriously sharp little plane!

Took me a while to twig who you were! What with your name being the same on two forums and you avatar being the same... I only just realized, after seeing the GS video, you are TT from FPV-UK! Slow one me!

Im not going to name and shame. I got a full refund so no harm done. I just figured, I'd rather deal with someone else!

I ordered some shelve stacks from a UK ebay seller. 3 weeks later and no dispatch, no arrival. So I messaged him. Got a reply para-quoted: "We sent you 3 emails and no reply. The shipping to your area is

Just to underline this point, in light of the two comments after it.... 750mm rotor disc is NOT A TOY indoor heli! Chair legs, sofa, etc.... it would have done far worse damage to you if it had got you. I have owned 4 of them (450 class heli's) and I don't even spin them up indoors without first "neutering" them with 0 pitch AND strapping them down, even that is only done of rare occasions to test the gyro is correctly wired/reversed. Normally if I'm working on it indoors I remove the main blades AND 2 motor wires. As some one put it to me once, it only takes one mistake to ruin your life when working/playing with these things. The "My little Jonny has a heli and he's always crashing it into the dog, LOL", type statements are from people that simply don't understand how fierce a 450 is. 450 crash into dog = dead dog or very expensive vet bill.

Foo Kin right. Funny, how I picked up on it in the first reading. Couldn't believe people were responding. This stuff ends up in my inbox everyday! Tell ya what, if you send me

I smell scam.
