Hello from UK - first build?
Hi. I've just started into flying FPV after building a QAV250 but have caught the bug for flying a fixed wing FT Foam Board.
Watched nearly all the videos!
So - what would be a 'not too bad an option for a first timer'? As I'm really not keen on flying a FT Flyer or Mighty Mini Sparrow etc. I know I would build it, fly it and enjoy flying it... but would get tired of it quickly and then leave it.
My first thoughts was a FT Spitfire as this looked slower than the FT Racer (which also looks cool)! The Spitfire is also marked as a Novice flyer but read somewhere that, as a beginner, would break props everytime i land and it would be best to fit a folding prop and break.
I'm completely happy I'll be capable with the building etc.
Or should I go safer and go with the FT Old Speedster as this will self level better and is slower (is that right?).
Or, the FT Mini Vector looks like it would fly slow and fast quite comfortably.
Chances are I'll be flying in my village park or a small field behind where I live.
Cheers
