Long range FPV wing, (HOW TO)

So, following the long range FPV quad article, here is the same but, for a ZII wing and here, I do not really have any merit since I've also just had followed some other tutorial. Still... here are the part list for the build.

1. Aile
   
2. L'aminate 
   
3. Battery Bay
4. Camera Pod 
   
5. ESC
   
6. Moteur 
   
7. Prop Gropner 9x7 
   
8. Servo 
   
9. OSD 
   
10. Receiver 
11. Video tx 
12. Low Pass filter
13. Camera 
    
14. Push Rod 
    
15. Regulator 
    

Like for the quad, video transmitter have to be far from the receiver antennas as much as possible. 

One lesson learn from my previous ZII try, since this is my second build, it the importance of the combos motor and propeller. A bad combination may work ok but wont have the trust to easily put it in the air. That was my error on the first one and I crash it many time by trying to put it in the air. 

One other things, that ESC may be a bit limit, I recommend to use a 70A or more better, a 80A because the motor with that prop when going up will ask about 70A. That turnigy ESC can take a bit more... but, better a bit bigger than trouble.

And now that I can put it in the air more easily, I now use a better circular polarized antenna.

The regulator is used to convert the 16v into 12v for the video equipment.

And for the build log, I just have followed the build tutorial here

Here are some pic

Note 1: Like for the quad, I don't take any change and I use a low pass filter.

Note 2: I use the gopro to record video but not for the video feed on plane. If I take is easy, I can fly for like an hour. So I prefer not to take any chance with the gopro failing on me in the air.

Note 3: I use 2 x 4s 3.3A battery on it.

Note 4: All electronics are hidden in the foam. like showed in the build tutorial
