Fairly new to RC flying here, and looking to connect with other RC pilots. I've had a camera drone for a few years and it's great for aerial pics and videos, but doesn't really require a lot of flying skill, so I wanted to get into fixed wing aircraft. I started with a low cost 3-channel Volantex Ranger to see if I liked it, and I was hooked pretty fast :-)
I saved up my pennies and got my first serious RC plane, the Arrows Bigfoot 1300mm, and it's frikking awesome. I've only had it about a month but I love flying it, so much more challenging and rewarding than my DJI drone. I'm still working on getting my landings consistently smooth, but fortunately it's a very forgiving plane if you come in a little rough.
Put an FPV kit on your plane. The tail would be a cool POV!
I definitely want to at some point, or even just get an Insta 360 and stick it on for a flight or two.
I’ve done that before, it’s awesome! I put an fpv camera on the top of the tail and ran the cables all the way back to the transmitter. It’s wide enough that you can see the edges of the wings.
