I have a flying buddy, Lawrence. He's a real cool guy and I enjoy hanging out with him. I shared some of my foamboard skills with him and we built an "Experimental Airlines FPV AXON" for him. This plane is wired up for FPV but doesn't have the FPV on it yet. Lawrence tried to fly it, the other day, and did fly an entire 3S 2200mah pack through it but then stalled it and crashed on the second pack. The damage was quite minimal. He brought the plane to me this morning and we did the repairs. Then we headed to the park for a bit of flying. He still isn't quite comfortable flying it yet so we are going to set up the Buddy Box on our next outing.
However, I did manage to fly it three times today. Had to add 1oz of nose weight, even with the 3S 2200mah pack all the way at the nose. After adding that 1oz, and a bit of trim, the plane flew quite well.
