Recommend me a cheapish wing for FPV/gopro

[Balders]

Pretty much as per title...I'm not the most experienced plane pilot in the world, but can fly reasonably well, want something that's not particularly aerobatic, ideally run off my existing 3s 2200mah packs, and fairly cheap.

Must be capable of taking usual FPV gear and a gopro.

2nd hand would be preferred.

Maxi swift! Marcin has one, I'm sure it will take a gopro.

I would recommend the Flyingwings Storm. I had one and it was very good. I would use a good 2217 class motor (very cheap) and 2x 2200mah packs in parallel.

You'll have to look on their site (www.flyingwings.co.uk) for their number and call them. It's not on their site any more but they still sell it, you just have to do it over the phone. A nice wing, easy to build, durable and flies really well. It's the one used in all those videos I posted. It'll carry a GoPro easily as well, just build it light and cover it with tape or lam.

And it is £40 plus postage. Make sure you ask them to include the motor mounting stuff.

That's my recommendation.

Thanks for that Sheldon...have been having a bit of a browse around various sites/youtube today. Nothing concrete yet, just curious as to what's out there/popular.

[MrBen]

bear in mind the zephyr 2 is designed to carry a gopro in the nose! that will probably be my next wing.

[Quagmire]

Well, the reason I didn't mention the ZII is that it is far from cheap, needs bigget packs (to make it worthwhile) than 2200s and it's a real serious thing...

Also, when the Alulah flies so much more nicely, why would you get one Ben?

[MrBen]

action wing, through the trees stuff with a gopro on! the alulah wont be tree dodging and the slipstream is too small to take a gopro (might try though)

[Quagmire]

Well, maybe if you put in a 2200 you could get a GoPro on it

I have a Zeph 2, its what my OSD is going in when i get it working.

Its not actualy that expensive, if you already have some bits.

The piece of foam is $130, and the Ritewing motor / ESC combo is another $130.
