This is my first plane after my Sport Cub S. I have flown a bunch of multirotors, but i wanted to get into fixed wing fpv.

i got the Mako from Readymade RC. Good price to start. I switched out the motor and prop combo (motor was actually bent) with a sunny sky 2212 1250kv, and 9x6 prop. A little slower, but has a a lot more thrust.

I started out with an APM, but i was having a lot of problems with it. Crashed 3 times on launch with that. Pulled it and tried stright from the RX. Worked fine, but my skills are a not quite there. SO i put a AR636 in it. Got it all programmed and it flies great. runs with a 3s 3600. Around 17min of flight.

iRC 600mw 5.8 vTX with gopro. EZOSD is on the way.

What a great beginner wing. Had to order a new winglet for it though... powered right into a tree...

Nice video, I enjoyed watching it. The Mako almost looks like a small RV Jet.

Thanks! It is like a mini RV jet. Did some flying out at the parents, and went right into a tree... got it down though. Had to order a new wing set. Really windy that day. Got around 68-70mph horizontal, and faster on some nice dives.
