FPV foam plane

Post by DOG »

I decided to turn my dollar tree foam plane into FPV. I went to the park this morning not to fly in FPV but to make sure with the FPV camera and battery didn't make the fixed wing nose or tail heavy. https://youtu.be/qHh8xsxS8AM

It looks a bit tail heavy for fpv flying because the nose is almost always pointing up. Flying LOS, that would be quite acceptable. But, it would probably still be ok if you point the camera angle down some.

I thank you much for that information Derek. I will take that into consideration when I fly on Thursday. I'll move the FPV camera battery up some more.
