FPV49v4 49" FPV wing

[Derek]

This is a scratch built 49" FPV wing, called the FPV49v4, with a KFm4 airfoil. This wing was designed by FPVTrond on Youtube. He's absolutely brilliant!

I'll share more details soon but here is a pic. You can see that I've outfitted this wing with 5.8ghz and 1.3ghz FPV.

That looks sweet Derek.

I've just added some tail lights. Although the ImmersionRC 5.8ghz vtx can handle up to 6S voltage input, my 1.3ghz vtx can only handle 3S voltage input....not sure why, that's just how it came to me. Because of that, I added a voltage regulator, on a JST plug, to supply 12v to either of my vtx's. Or, I can just unplug the JST when I'm simply flying LOS.

As for the LED's, I've heard of people running them on 4S with mixed results. Some people say 3S only, some people say 4S is fine. Some people say that they last longer on 3S.....you get the point. Some people, lol. I decided to solder some wires to the 12v output of the regulator for my LED's and then drilled two holes into the rear plate of the wing for the LED wires to pass through. TOO COOL!!!!

I may have to do a video overview of this wing because I am just so darned impressed with it...how it looks, how it flies, etc. Yes, there is the usual jumble of wires on the inside, but I think that just kinda comes with the territory, lol.
