Scratch-Built Hammer FPV with GoPro

[CrackerMcGillicuddy]

Hi,
I scratch-built this plane I call the "Hammer FPV". The wing is the same as the Hammer 3D profile foamy except it's 2.5 inches wider and it's got a KFm-2 airfoil. Everything else is scratch-designed. It's pretty fast and wild. I had to put in a whole lotta expo to keep it flying smoothly. Here's a photo of it:


I also put a "dummy GoPro" camera in front (same weight and size as the real camera) while I get the bugs sorted out and thus not damage the real camera until the plane is settled and stable. Here's a photo of the dummy GoPro:


Here's my first flight of the Hammer FPV with the real GoPro aboard. I've got to trim some of the fuselage away 'cause it's in the view. I intend to later use the GoPro for FPV. I've already got the required cable, transmitter, antenna etc.

Thanks for reading and watching!

Don't you want to work out the pieces of foam the show on the video?
