In this video I do an intro and outro at my flying location talking about my FPV setup and the RC Plane. Most of the video features unedited onboard FPV footage with music. The footage was recorded with my Fatshark Dominator V3 FPV Goggles.

Here are my review notes for this FPV Wing:

Pros:
- Uses my favorite batteries
- Flies nice
- The take-off feature is great
- Handles wind well
- Has 150mw FPV system used by the Blade Torrent 110 FPV Racer
- Looks nice and has plastic protectors for belly landing
- Has new foam for added durability

Cons:
- The radio setup with my Spektrum DX6 was different than shown in the manual to shift between flight modes.
- Battery bay is too short to adjust for CG and nose heaviness
- The recommended settings for the take-off feature may cause some crashes.
- The camera arrived very dirty and has ok camera quality
