When are you going to go for long range FPV?
Thanks Adam
A really informative video again thank you Adam. I love the way you can slide out the electronics on the model without trying to get your hands inside. i will take that one to the next fpv plane i make, i also like how neat the wiring is . i tend to end up with birds nests that can lead to signal interference. lots to take from this video , I hope you enjoy your upcoming season.
Thanks for all the great information. I have seen some people install rudders on their Skyhunters, any thoughts on that?
Finally. Thank you Adam. Would you still use the same auto pilot if you were to build it today? Such great ideas. Thank you again.
Nice video Adam! Hope the summer will come quick!
Do you have a link to the current sensor you used, or did I overlook it?
Sliding tray is an excellent idea. I’ve built one for my Esky Eagles.
I really appreciate the level of detail you made your video. Do you habe a thingiverse page with your 3D parts?
Thanks Adam.
Great to get the walkthrough of your setup.
I’m fairly new to this.
Still 2.4 and 5.8 but hopefully I’ll get there someday.
I have enjoyed your videos immensely keep them coming.
Excellent video, has shown me a lot of options for my Skyhunter that I will be flying in a short time through my land Costa Rica, I have followed your videos with great admiration. regards
Here’s my 5.8 long range personal record: 9km out.
Great video Adam. My Skyhunter is still in the box :-(. All long range staff too.
I have a question: how it fly without the rudder? Especially landing.
Nice vid pal. Very well explained.?
have you ever noticed any tailbooms wobbles? the design of the joining method is definetely not strong enough on my miniskyhunter v2 , and I was wondering whether it is the same on the big one
What charger do you use? Im kinda confused on which one I should get. Cheers.
It work very good like 87
