The box measures 40" x 9" x 5" in the old scale.
I was a bit concerned about the fan because the housing tunnel is not clean thru and there would appear to be plenty of opportunity for turbulence...

RE: Nitromodels PREDATOR RQ-1B

One option is to get a large plastic drinks bottle. Carefully cut off at an angle part of the shoulder and a length of the bottle to match the shape of the canopy. Easier to see than to describe, and...

I have ordered a flycamone Version2 which has a movable head. I am going to experiment with a gyro to stabilise the video. I...
