Mountain biking with FT arrow

[Robot_Child]

Gday from Australia

I took my ft arrow with me mountain biking today and I thought I would show you guys.

This build is relatively heavy and rocking a 3S 1300mAh battery. It is very good at blasting through the wind that often occurs around large hills on a windy day. Its form factor is great for mountain biking. Large enough to be good at flying but also small enough to be easy to mountain bike with; the spear is slightly too large.

This arrow has over 60 hours on it and is still going strong. For the keep eyes among you, it has a single nose-mounted landing gear; this arrow is a tail dragger!

Cheers,
Robot

I was going to ask how you fit the 1300 in it, but then I saw your esc on the wing. Cool build! (Somehow, that esc looks like it should be there due to that nice paint job😉👍)

I've thought about taking an FPV wing on road bike adventures....

Cheers, it’s actually covering film that you use for balsa planes. It works really really well. I’m primarily using it to make the foam board water tight

Yeah it’s good fun. I just cable tie it to my back pack. I often take it hiking aswell.

Cheers. That video was filmed in early winter, so there is a lot less vegetation compared to the photo at the top of the thread. It is much nicer up there now...

Love the paint scheme!

Love the paint scheme!

Thanks! Inspiration taken from the P-36. The roundels are only on the top, it is very useful for orientation...

You should design that @Mr Man!

I was thinking the same thing…

I would build it! 👍 😁

Take a look at the Warthunder tech trees. There are some real gems to be found.
