"i used my dremel to hollow out all the excess foam from the factory. i just have it rc for now, but im looking into ordering ardupilot soon. this thing carries excess weight very well, actually it makes it fly better! i just set the incidence on the…"
"my two 2200mah hobbyking batteries weigh 410g with a parallel connector installed. I have an old thunderpower 7800mah 11.1v pack that weighs 455g. just goes to show there are much lighter battery configurations that could drastically improve…"
"just got done flying it with a 1 lb lead weight installed (56.22 oz total weight). i flew for 35 mins, using 1560mah. consequently its drawing on average 2.675 amps with the extra weight. this seems promising considering a full fpv setup should come…"

"i know im un-burying a really old thread, but i just finished some flight testing on my very similar model. the only difference is i glued my booms into the wing (on top) just forward of the flaps i installed, which are quite large. i have a flying…"
