This video will show you my first endeavor into FPV flight. I now have many flights under my belt but this is a cool project and something I will be working on in a new version before to long.
This flying wing is built only from Dollar Tree Foam. This wing uses two full sheets of foam, hot glue & one carbon arrow shaft from Walmart. The wing design I got from Schraut5 called the FPV40. I however modified it to only use Dollar Tree Foam as the main wing. I also decided to ditch the lower fuselage and keep things as aerodynamic as possible and put things only on the wing.
I can fly very easy on 1/4 to 1/2 throttle with my motor set up.

Speed is 35-45 mpg at normal cruising speed.

I have flown about 2500 feet away & over a 1500 feet up with no issues so far with this plane

Also thanks to Ed @ Experimental Airlines for his build ideas. It is why we are all playing with Dollar Tree Foam now.

Thanks for checking out my channel and I hope you enjoy the video. I look forward to posting more on what I am doing in the RC aviation world.
