Hi,
I was bored today so I rebuilt my HK Mini Swift to a stunt FPV plane
Swapped the stock motor and esc.
Mounted a camera and a 500mW 2.4 gHz videoTX with a custom antenna.
Built a pusher pod and a wireing harness so I can use 1 3s 500mAh battery.
Test flight will be on Monday, storm and rain outside my window at the moment

This is a joke, isn't it?
This plane shall fly???
Cool!
You have to take video of this! onboard and from the ground.
Oh yes
This will fly, fast too, I hope
don't know if your heavy brick will fly, but mine does.
here are my two HK Mini Swifts:
original white:
[
attachment=669]
fight color:
[
attachment=670]
the original Mini Swift with the front motor has already 2 flights 2 weeks ago.
The third flight ended in a maize field.
After 4 days and about 5-6h of searching i found it in the 3m high maize.
1h searching in the maize
3,5 searching with the quadro copter and my photo plane
1h searching in the maize and than i finally found it
So i built the second one, but with pusher motor, because the prop is a little disturbing in the picture, but works too.
Test flight of the new pusher will be in the late afternoon.
but no video recording, because my ground station is in my second home.
Nice, but you do not make it any easier on yourself next time you loose a plane with those colours
Jup, i know.
But this time:
1. i have a lost and found beep onboard
2. i won't fly over maize fields
3. maybe i use my rf beacon on it too
Blueangel, nice setup
What is your AUW? (All up weight)
And what equipment is on the plane?
Kristian
thx
plane 1 with rc: 115g
plane 2 (pusher) with rc: 125g
fpv:
420TVL CMOS Killer CAM
Anyvolt Micro
2,4GHz Airwave TX selfmade
2dbi antenna
48g
2s 610mAh 20C lipo:
36g
=>
Plane 1 (left)
199g
Plane 2 (pusher, right)
209g
so, i would say they are both too flying bricks.
Maiden'ed the brick today and it flew like a seagull
Well not exactly but it flew and fast too.
Will post videos when I get my grabber fixed.
