Wow, that looks great. Love the silver tapes, they can really make it pop. That's what I used on the canopy. Good stuff!

Anyone else flying one of these FPV? I built and maidened my Mustang yesterday and will likely fly it mostly LOS but plan on making a second canopy piece with one of the micro camera/VTXs on it so I can just swap it out super easy. I will share details as I do it.

started "Bunny" yesterday. i am lucky enough to know Stephen (Rasterize), the guy who does all the cool skins for all the FT planes.
got this printed the other day and will start build tomorrow-ish? (don't mind the custom FT Dart pieces thrown in that he did for me...)
had another mini stang that was given to me half assembled (poorly). i literally flew the motor off it. this one will not suffer the same fate...

I considered it, but the one time I flew a Mini Guinea with tail cam, I found it hard to fly, just feels weird. I fly lots of FPV with wings and quads, so the up front view is more comfortable.

Flew the Mustang last Friday, LOS, and my buddy chased me with his race quad. Here is some of the video.

I grabbed some 4 blade props from GetFPV, they look great and fly nice too! 5x4x4 and even on 2S had plenty of power to fly a little more aggressive than scale. https://www.getfpv.com/lumenier-5x4x4-4-blade-propeller-set-of-4-black.html
Also got a micro cam/vtx/dvr and had my buddy design and make me a holder that should fit right onto the top of the tail.

First flight went rather well, this was on 2s, I think 3S will be much better if I stuck with the 4 blade prop.

Little video I made up from my first two flights, with a little info on the camera mount.

been dragging my feet on this one. too many pots on the the stove. swore i was going to finish today but got to the top deck and realized i messed it up when attaching the template and did the front turtle deck supports backwards. duh. but, it does look good. i moved the motor about 15mm forward because i think she will have plenty in the trunk and wanted to compensate. worst case i move it back and have 2 extra holes in my fuselage. it' ready to go, all controls surfaces are hooked up, motor, esc, receiver, all good. i will re-print the turtle deck plans tomorrow and rebuild it, then finish. cross fingers. want to maiden this along with my new custom skinned dart on saturday.

After a few times touching a wing tip to a tree and then nosing in, I finally decided it was time to build a new Mini Mustang. Added some extra paper in the areas of the fuselage where the tabs from the top deck come through. I also added some wood sticks to the nose area for added strength. Ran the wire to the tail again for tail camera FPV.

Here is the tail camera holder my buddy designed for me.

Thank You. In the meantime I finished the Corsair and made "aerial baptism" today. The plane is extremely fast with the 2205/2600kv Motor and 3S 1000mAh Battery. Flight time up to 4 minutes.
And of course I crashed it 2 times. But it's also very sturdy!!! Some minor repairs. The Firewall broke off. But i'm very happy with it. Flyers like hell and only little up trimming on the elevator was needed. I inserted 35 grams of lead into the nose... The CG is almost precise 1.5 inches from the leading edge. Tomorrow I'll fly with less lead...
