Chris, are you using the stock wing tube? Have you tried an 8mm CF rod? It may help with the flapping. I have an EG pro that I used fibre tape, applied spanwise, on the top and bottom of my wings. This make them very stiff. BTW, I have a Easy star that I'm not using if anyone is interested. My setup was too heavy for the small plane so I went to an EG pro. It has a motor installed and will have a pan and tilt mount. PM me if interested, you may get a great deal as I'm open to help someone get into FPV.

Hey Brian

(PM Sent.. looking forward to hearing from you - but will be out now for a few hours.)

I am using the stock tube. Don't know if you saw Dan's post on how to drill it out? Looks like some great options. I am also a huge fan of tape and have some plans that have more tape than the original material

Cheers

Wasn't planning on putting this in the for sale section, hoped to give someone a deal. Some pics of my easy star, never flown. I have a box up front for a HD camera and an extra piece added to the pan and tilt to raise it up over the HD camera(so I could see). I think the motor is around 2000kv (HK inrunner). I'll also add a plush 25a esc that has a jst connector added for a bec. The jst was the wrong one so be careful when esc powered if a load not plugged in. I should have put a male connector on for safety. I put in a lower battery bat access hatch. No tail mods. If you want it Chris, LMK.

Nice setup Brian, I am interested too unless Chris got it already . I am curious to how the star handles the weight on your setup. I broke down and bought a cheap video camera and strapped it in the cockpit area pointed to the side. It seemed to work well but fairly nose heavy and I didn't want to add weight to the tail just because of the amount I had on already. My camera weighs 100 grams more than the go pro specs. Is that alot for this plane(269g)? Thanks in advance

I never flew it as it was too heavy with all the gear on it and I had a feeling I would need all the power just to get it airborne. I picked up an EG and use the gopro for both rec/vtx, which saves weight. OSD's are smaller and lighter. Alot has changed in 3 years. I would go with the gopro/case setup. PM sent Chris.

Ted - Sorry man I have accepted Brian's offer... One can never be too rich, too thin or have too many planes!

(Besides, da wife bought new shoes yesterday so it is only fair - right?)

Chris

[buffythesaint]

Yup, sold to Chris. Thanks for all the interest. Chris, we can hook up in the future, no need to send funds now.

Cheers, Brian.

[Beerwiser]

No worries guys, it would probably cost me more in shipping than the plane is worth. I am just happy with the information .
