Order online and they workout almost same if not cheaper than if purchased locally( stock over head and profit margin etc). My skywalker landed on my doors on the 6th day @ 160$ including shipping.

this one is good cheaper replacement, I have flown it plain RC mode and it was fun. But I like the skywalker better due to internal space and over all size. You can pretty much put every thing you want inside. It is EPO foam( ask and confirm before…

WOW! i really like your plane design. how much payload can it carry? can you upload a pdf file containing a schematic of it? i'd like to build it myself and modify it some.

hmm...I like your idea for the hawk sky, but I think I'm gonna have to go with the easystar. As you mentioned in your article about the hawksky, the easystar has better stability and can handle crashes better. thanks anyway

yep , depends on what do you want to do with your camera . What do you mean by automatic? If you are going for aerial photography /survey type project , under the wing may do but if you want to do FPV also then pan /tilt using head tracking or by RC…
