FT Scout Maiden(4 ch)!(video added)
Sorry no video yet.... 3 batteries for my SJ4000 (GoPro nockoff) and they're all dead. I was finally able to maiden my scratch built Scout. We've had 17-30 MPH winds for the past few days and rain and and and... blah! Finally blue skies and 3 MPH winds this morning, perfect for a maiden . I only needed 3-4 clicks down elevator and I eventually added 1 click of left aerilon. This thing flew great! Once it was trimmed it flew level and straight, responsive and decent power on 7.4 battery. I always for get to set the timer, but I think I got 8-10 minutes of flight time. I'd like a little more power out of it, so I'll most likely pick a couple of small 11.1's at some point. Great design guys, thanks. I'm excited to get my Sportster and Tiny Trainer for my son done!
Not the maiden, my 2nd flight. I had the high rates set to high and ended up crashing it. There was no real damage done, pick it up and went right back to flying
