Here's an idea for a collapsible canard planform UAV/FPV aircraft I designed. It is scratchbuilt out of Dollar Tree foamboard, packing tape, and hot glue. It weighs 1500g AUW with a GoPro and basic FPV setup for a 10 minute flight. Tested with 500g additional payload. 60" wingspan, collapses to 32" x 8" x 8" package for transport. Pusher powerplant places all the flight electronics in the rear and a detachable nose pod houses the FPV gear. Takes about 4 hours to build from scratch. There are a few of them flying around with good success.

I like the idea, and it is cheap to build. Have a few ideas for carrying different equipment as a payload depending on what I want to do and your pods will make it easy just to take one plane and 2 or 3 different "pods" to my flying area depending on what I want to do.
Thank for the videos,
