Author Topic: My Easystar FPV (Read 960 times)

Just a couple of pics of my Easystar, dry weight without battery 742grams, with 2200mah 3s - 940grams.

FPV gear is 5.8ghz 600mw with cloverleaf homemade antenna, sony 1/3rdinch ccd camera (hobbyking) and CE OSD v1.5.

It's running brushless on a 6x4, ailerons made myself (easier that I was expecting).

Radio is currently Spektrum AR7000 with satellite, although I'm going to change that to 35mhz probably this weekend.

Fly's pretty docile, and for FPV was a lot more fun (and relaxing) than I was expecting.

Looks good Steve, how about a picture of the whole plane

I'm liking the POD I had one like that for my easy glider pro.

Looks good Balders. I love my Easystar when the wind is low, it's a peach

Not so good in higher winds though. I've got a couple of gyros in mine which helps stabalise things a bit, though I never did the aileron mod so roll stability is slightly reduced being on rudder only. How's yours? do you find ailerons help in the wind?
