Dragonfly MkII

Hey guys, Pilot Blocker here, just wanted to share my latest iteration of the dragonfly. The first Dragonfly was showcased in a post a month ago where Captain Blocker and I towed it up with an rc car, the post can be found here (https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/towing-our-homemade-creation.64648/). Here is the latest version, designed to iron out the many flaws of the MkI. Some of the modifications the MkII will have are twin engingins, split flaps, an fpv system and an overall bigger airframe. So far the fuselage is done and the wing is still on the building board. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it before harsh winter of Michigan sets in. I'll be posting more updates on Dragonfly MkII in the future.

Here are some pictures of the Dragonflies.

Hey guys, Pilot Blocker here for another Dragonfly MkII update. While I was scrolling through the forums I came across a post from Tiznom( https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/ft-spear-night-flying.64974/) where he put some led lights in his FT spear and I knew I had to try it. So I went on amazon and found some cheap led lights that were controlled by pwm inputs and were powered by 5v dc, they were super easy to set up. It looks amazing in the air and I can toggle them on and off and cycle through different modes with the bind switch on my dx6e. I'm planning on getting some flight footage of it soon. let me Know what you think.

Here's a link to the lights https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XKJ5TS1/?tag=lstir-20

Looks like star wars! I love it!

What flight times do you get on it?

Ideally I would like a system for mid range cruising that shows my voltage and time, I've been running the all in one cameras but the range is very limited, I would hate to lose an airplane to a sketchy camara.
I like my runcam cameras because they show voltage and time on screen without having to have any extra systems or accessories. Good antennas are a must but more power does help also. I like pagoda antennas and transmitters over 600mw
