New fiberglass UAV airframe coming to HobbyKing

Posted by Chris Anderson on January 10, 2011 at 10:00pm

No product listing yet, but will be on HobbyKing.com later this week according to HobbyKing. Will be intersting to compare with the EPP foam one that I just got (see below), which seems perfect. Smaller than a Skywalker, but still plenty of room for UAV gear. The fuselage is a bit thin, but it fits APM perfectly!

Some more pics of the new fiberglass one:

Chris, those fiberglass planes, are they crash resistant?
I mean a reasonable factor, like good quality EPPs.
They are so neatly finished. However they seems to be fragile.
