Latest addition to the madness, zohd alphastrike. I haven't flown it yet. Apparently it is a real beast, and not very popular, which is also probably why I got the it for $40. The servos are those odd little 4.4g deals. The pnp has a 2216/2200kv motor. Since I just wanted to put stuff I had laying around on, it will have a sunnysky 2207/2100kv on 4s and a 5x5 prop. Should still get 100mph in bursts, but not the 100+ sustained the plane was designed for. So I am calling this the "lightweight" set up lol. We will see if it does slow a little better. I have to shove a 4s2200 all the way to the back to get it to balance, so I might go with a 4S 1500 and see how well it flies. I already have a cobra brushless motor picked out for it. I figured I would consolidate threads since... well, I have so many and it will be easy for me just to post them up in here. Pretty sure no one cares about the individual builds anywho. They end up looking the same after a while.

Looks cool once I pay for my car insurance and some car repairs I want to build or get something FPV. Its a personal goal of mine. that little ship reminds me of the aerospike space shuttle from star trek enterprise.

If so, I really liked that series. Are you talking about the OV-165? I had to dig deep into the nerd database to find that. That ship is actually based on the Lockheed X-33. I wouldn't be surprised if this didn't get some inspiration from that. I'll keep an eye out for cheapie ones as they go on sale for you. Is there any particular type of plane you are looking for? A wing? Plank? Twin? Easy flier? Rocket ship?

Something easy flying to start with actually I like wings as well. I want to get a decent headset something operable but it doesn't have to be HD.

There is this... www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?4311221-Twinky-1000-mm-wing-span-twin-motor-FPV-platformI kind of thought about the swordfish, but it seemed a little expensive (to me) for what it was. Randy, that FT Spear you have would be good wouldn't it? The fullsized flerken doesn't fly bad either. Also, I need to cut one from the herd, so I may end up sending one your way steeply discounted.

That Twinky is very cool. I need something to put the Runcam Thumb to use, that might be the rig and way cheaper than the Swordfish.

Yup the spear came to mind right away it's actually designed with FPV in mind. I'm pricing out some middle of the road Headset and VTX equipment.

If it is the regular, send me the nose file and I can put a neat little snap in front in it for the runcam thumb and have it pretty well integrated into the part.

There are some deals on the RCG classifieds. HD is almost inexpensive enough for me to consider it lol. I can't get over the $500 goggle buy in. I guess HD units are about $100 or so a plane too which is nuts. Its a regular one, I am going to order the twinky tomorrow I'll send file when I get it. Thanks buddy! That is what I used for the nose on my dolphin. It just kind of clicks in. My thumb is damn near destroyed. It still works though. I have the HD but haven't used it yet. I need to knock the dust off the dolphin and make a new nose, that is the plane I bought it for. Although it the alphastrike works out, I might stick the thumb on it.

That just looks fast, like crazy fast. I don't think it is. It is pretty light with a fat clark y airfoil and constant chord wing. I am just putting the value hobby 2212/1400 with a 7056 prop on it. So nothing that would set the world on fire but hopefully should be a decently efficient set up. I can jam a 4s2p 18650 in it, so if I should get more than an hour flight time out of it.
