FT-22 Maiden
i spent about 3 hours perfecting the FT 22, i added a FPV system for its maiden and some LEDs. the first flight was pretty terrible, i threw it by the wing and crashed it into a tree. second try was with dad, he threw it evenly by both wingtips and it flew for about a second before the FT Elements Simple Firewall exploded and the prop cut the foam up. after i got home and fixed everything, it looked like the plane has been trashed. the nose was crumpled and i am thinking of going to a larger field next tome to stop it from flying into trees. nice design though, i loved building it and testing the FPV.
PS: if you want cheap, risky electronics, go to hobbyking. i bought the 4 channel transmitter for 40 dollars and when i closed the throttle+trim all the way, the motor still spun, the local hobby shop owner said it was a faulty transmitter not getting enough throttle range. i ended up using the transmitter from the Twister heli and the receiver, that worked.
