Hey! I currently fly quadcopters, but I'm looking to get into building and flying fixed wings. Eventually (once I get good at flying fixed wings) I intend to build small experiment packages to take airborne. While I'm not going to limit myself to one aircraft, I'm only going to use one to start. I'm looking at the FT Mini Mustang, but I'd like some suggestions in case there's something better- I need to fly in a medium-sized park, ideally with something that's forgiving but still maintains good speed and aerobatic capability. Whatever aircraft I choose, I'll definitely be mounting FPV gear on it, and when I get around to designing and building experiments, I'll probably mount those in some sort of external pod- probably modeled after a drop tank unless the equipment inside necessitates some other form. I'll definitely be building my own aircraft at some point, but for now, I just need an airplane that can serve a dual role: primarily, a fun airplane for me to fly around, and secondarily, a testbed for basic electronic systems for future aircraft.
