Skywalker gets an upgrade…

I mentioned in the last post that I put a Range Video OSD in the new plane, and liked it enough to pick up another for my Skywalker… Here’s the first real flight, after a short test/setup flight done in high winds a few days before…

Skyhunter FPV

How about a long overdue update? While I haven’t done a ton of flying over the past couple of months due to poor weather and lack of time, I did complete a new FPV plane, the Skyhunter! I think that after a few good flights with it now, I can honestly say it’s my new favorite… I fit this one with a Range Video OSD which I also like a lot, so much in fact that I bought a second and put it in my Skywalker. I’m sharing the camera pod from my Skywalker with this new plane also, which works well. Here’s a picture of the finished plane and a couple of good videos from it:

Also, here’s a video of the ground recording from the clouds flight, shows the RVOSD at work:

Here’s a quick look at a new scratch build I put together, and the onboard footage from the maiden flight. I’ll post more detailed specifics later!

How about a break from the FPV stuff? I finally took the cargo plane out for a proper flight dropping the parachute and recorded some decent video. Here’s the end result:

HoryzonHD V2 Review

This is the first part of a review I’m doing on the HoryzonHD V2 camera. Watch for part 2 later once I install it onto a plane to fly it, probably the 2.4GHz Slow Stick unless something changes!
