Spear

Published: Thu Apr 19 2012


 

RD26, aka Spear (Codenamed Spear from the Irish word "spéir" meaning sky) Is a blue CV540 frame, modified to shave a few cm off the motor to motor distance as with RD16. This will be a custom built AP/AV platform for my brother Bam, who has patiently waited for 2 years for me to deliver something worthy. Bam flies with a Spektrum DX8 and has both the TM100 telem system and a full on EagleTree OSD w/ acc system. I will try and incorporate both into the model. This airframe was chose for its briliant design, and its ability to withstand some crazy crashes with little or no damage. It has also proven to be a very compatible airfram for hauling a go pro and a myriad of other gear. As an added bonus I intend to make this unit FPV ready as well.
