I've had at least 1 Skipper/Dragonfly in my fleet for 10 years now. My current fave - fully laminated and Flight Controller'd, and of course FPV - she flies like a Dream! I was lucky enogh to grab my V2 DF when they were all orange, either way she's a beauty! Thanks FGRC!
One _crucial_ mod, especially if you stuff an FC and FPV gear onboard: shove a small dubro plastic hinge into the exposed part of the rudder hinge at the bottom. While they baked a lil angle into the rudder to protect it on takeoff, it's hinged all the way down to the keel, and can take a beating while taxiing on grass. It's gotta hang low to give you control in water, after all. And a minor mod would be antenna tubes for some ventilation - I have a pair flanking the small aft hatch, for my Matek F405 FC and itsy bitsy Heewing 35A ESC. The FPV gear comes off with the canopy for water ops, with a spare in it's place.
Cool flying and looking plane!

Thanks for this. Full of great tips!
How will does it take off and land off of pavement.
Does fine but line the keel with packing tape or you will eat up the foam.

What is the "Zip Tie mod?
A zip tie instead of tape to grab the battery hatch. Keeps your nails from digging into the foam. And looks like an antenna.
