Looks absolutely amazing! Thanks for posting. I'm planning out my Swordfish build now. Any trouble getting GC right with your setup? I've seen people posting that it tends to get nose-heavy and I can imagine the 4s 21700's, 3d printed nose and O3 air unit adds up.
Thanks! I am quite new to this hobby so I don't know that much about CG but what I did was measure where the plane balances on my hand in its initial configuration (without the 3D printed nose and O3 but with a battery inside) and after installing the new nose I added some weights in the back (I think 15 or 20g) so it would balance in the same spot. I don't know how to properly evaluate flight characteristics/ performance but I would say it's quite ok, maybe sometimes feels a little unstable when flying in acro mode but not enough to bother me
Thanks! Added setup in the description For the range, math says it should be able to do 44km total assuming 4000mAh and that the current reading is correct
Swordfish is a good option if you want a plane that comes pre tuned and ready to fly. The battery compartment is quite small but I've seen people fit a 4s2p in there (maybe 18650? )

@@LazyPanda21 Awesome, thank you so much for the detailed response.
Nice! How much total range do you get? What is your setup?

Wonderful! I wanted to do long range but I do not know what plane to get. And about that battery, can you double the 4s? Like 4s2p for extra range?
