Well done!! I could feel your enthusiasm for a good day flying through the video! Thanks for sharing

[@grim-upnorth]

No thank you for watching 😊

[@marward]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Well done!

[@grim-upnorth]

Thank you

I have one I bought off a friend that I really need to fit a FC & Air Unit too. Your Pan looks great too.

[@grim-upnorth]

Thanks, I hadn't altered the endpoints in iNav for this flight, but now I have and the pan looks a lot further behind than before. Not quite 360 but still pretty good.👍✈️

[@Crunklefloop]

Another one bitten by the Albabird bug! They're fab planes!

[@grim-upnorth]

I completely agree. I could have done with a little more space on the front deck but I think this setup is just fine with the Peanut camera on a pan servo. I just need to put in my 5V BEC to power the Peanut in flight so it doesn't corrupt the metadata when the battery dies 🙈

[@badgerrc160]

very nice, glad the maiden went well for you. do you like it better than the reptile dragon?
nice-looking site too :)

[@grim-upnorth]

Thanks, I'm not sure I like it better... it's just different. This one gives me the option of having a pan servo on the front, but the dragon didnt' have a flat area to mount anything like that.
I still think the dragon is a great plane, but so is this 😊

Great job, another idylic site away from the Fun Police...Looked flat calm for it...How far do you have to drive to get there?....🤔

[@grim-upnorth]

Depends on traffic but between 60-90 mins

[@EnglishTurbines]

@@grim-upnorth Yes, it's National Park land isn't it?..Wish I had one near me...🤔...My Zorro should arrive on Monday...Cheaper to buy direct from HobbyRC than Bangood, definitely faster...😀

[@jasontotz]

Thursley Common??

[@grim-upnorth]

Yes that's right 👍

[@floydblue1783]

7" prop probably too big, 6x4 gives about 5-6 amp cruise 🤔

[@grim-upnorth]

Yes, I agree that I've overpropped these motors. I will be doing some experiments with 7x3x3 quad props, 7x4 APC props and some 6x4 as well, thanks ✈️👍
