Bill's Eachine Micro Skyhunter FPV 780mm RC Plane Line Of Sight Maiden Flight

This is Bill's Line Of Sight Maiden Flight with his Eachine Micro Skyhunter FPV 780mm RC Plane.
As you can see in the video, this plane is fast with a wide flight envelope. It can also carry a lot of FPV equipment and still have a good glide slope. Since this video was made, Bill has moved the FPV antenna back farther and removed the weights he put on the vertical stabilizers to get the correct CG. It is even floater and faster now.

Here are the Flight Review notes for this FPV Platform:
Pros:
- It is FAST!!!
- The glide path is great, even loaded down like Bill has his with FPV equipment
- This is very inexpensive
- It has really long flight times
- An uncomplicated build even without instructions
- You get to glue on the decals, which means they can be applied without bubbles or any other issues
- It has a powerful brushless motor
- This looks very similar to the popular RMRC Nano Skyhunter Stealth without the black paint
Cons:
- No instructions
- No glue to glue the pieces together and if not built with enough glue, it can come apart in the air as shown in this video
