Wingspan is a little short I think. I'm trying to order just the foamy bits. I would power with a himax 2015 brushelss 4 to 1 gear, 2100mah 3c lipo, and Castle Pheonix 25 speed controller. What would my weight limit be for a still camera in this setup?

That's what I thought. want to nose mount my camera which means I need a pusher and all of the pushers out there are small and/or come in RTF packages that I don't need. Guess I'll be sniffin CA for a while as I build my own.

I didnt want to experiment so I got an easy star. I got it as just the airframe for $60.
***EDIT***
Looks like tower has a video up now of the larger predator in flight...
Wow, look at those wings flex, and it looks like it flies very fast. Too fast for decent camera ship use.
