                    UMX TIMBER..squirrely little thing....it keeps my skills sharp for my big planes. Does anybody else disagree that the smaller planes are harder to fly...Post replies I would like to hear from you

                      bigger plane => more mass (and usually higher wing loading) so better resistance to minor wind gusts.

                      PZ Vapor can be owned by your house's AC vent. Hang a 2 lb plane from the ceiling about 2 ft from the vent and it might wiggle when the AC/heat comes on.

                      current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

                          Hey Rifleman, what OSD/flight controller are you using there?

                            Yes, they can hone your flying skills for wind.

                              It's just a simple Cyclops breeze osd system. No flight controller, however it does have the frsky S8R receiver installed that has flight stabilization I think works really well, and a plus to it is it's programmable though the horus x10. So far I've been super happy with the radio and receivers. My ultamate plan is for a vector in this bird, but that's still a few months away as I'm still in recovery mode from the truck engine blowing up.

                                Thanks for the info. I'm looking for an OSD that provides speed, altitude, and horizon. But I don't want to break the bank. This one seems pretty reasonable. :)

                                  If you want a full system that has everything (including airspeed) for not much coin I might suggest the Cyclops tornado. Here's a video with that unit I got it from foxtech

                                      Should just have to sign into your account then click upload, after that find your video and it should start loading automatically

                                        Managed to get a couple of flights in yesterday in between snow showers with the FMS red arrow hawk.
                                        What a great plane.
