Multiplex Easystar 2 - most simlpe FPV plane setup

by RCSchim | January 8, 2014 | (6) Posted in Reviews

Last year I had a few FPV meetings. All the time I did regret to just have the Quad with me. With a Quad you just can't keep up with the speed and flighttimes of simple planes.
So now I prepared my Easystar 2 to be the most simple FPV plane you can imagine. No fancy stuff (like OSD, GPS....) just attach the wings, throw in a battery (one flight battery 2200mah 3cell for plane and FPV stuff) and fly. Flighttimes greater than 10mins with 2200mah is pretty good!
Horyzon V3 even starts the recording for you if it gets power! The small cam has only little air drag, little additional weight to the plane - so the flight characteristics of the plane stay almost the same.
As I show in the video the Plane has some downsides vs Quad also: if you have some wind, you will see it on the video. I flew in high winds- no problem - it just doesnt look good!

Great video, Its always nice to hear what people think about this kind of stuff! Im working on my hawk sky for fpv for pretty much why you did, to have a fun fpv plane and something that can take a beating.

You're right, the owner of the big Redbull sometimes visits our little airfield. Last video there was in september (sturmfliegen on my yt channel) you see his also great looking ec135 turbine heli (the same one that crashed there a year before :-)
