The initial build and maiden: I provide an update on some changes I've made since the initial build. Importantly, the DJI Vista VTX unit wasn't getting enough airflow so I've done some mods and seem to have fixed the issue (Summer flying will be the real test!) I've also upgraded the motor and motor mount, so the plane is all sorted for efficient cruising on 4S now. Dropping down to a slightly lower-kV has improved throttle resolution, which will help when flying formation. The plane still managed to hit 155 kph with a tailwind on the first flight after the upgrade though! Current build parts: AtomRC Dolphin kit with Emax ES09MD servos 2507-1750kv motor & HQPROP DP 7x4.5“ HAKRC BLHeli_32 35A ESC (being upgraded to 50A) Matek F722-WPX running iNav 3.0 Caddx Nebula Pro Vista FRSky L9R Receiver (decased antennas) GoPro Hero 7 Black (Superview/Hypersmooth/) #atomrcdolphin #atomrc
