Caddx Walksnail GM3 3 axis gimbal Walksnail Avatar HD Pro Kit v2 camera in a Hangar 9 RV4. My helper wore the Walksnail Goggles L while I flew line of sight for this test flight. I was expecting engine vibration to affect the view quite badly BUT it didn't. Opens up the possibility of using this set...

Top Gun Darkstar twin EDF jet

Glue the nose and vertical stabs in place. Plug in the flight battery then turn on the transmitter. Launches with a throw and no intervention on the sticks to keep it flying level. Fun to fly and the differential thrust makes for tight turns and a few tricks. https://www.banggood.com/custlink/mGmSHz...
