Just showing the kind of video you can get from this plane once it's in the air. This is Hero7 with Superview+Hypersmooth.
For this flight I was on a 5S battery with a 7x6 prop (broke the stock 8x5) and was running it at full throttle most of the flight which was good for about 90-95mph at 20-22A draw (about 400W).
Haven't had much luck launching this plane in manual mode, so have been launching it in auto-level mode (depending on flight controller). This was one of the first flights with iNav and launching in Angle mode presents some problems because iNav allows a I-term windup to accumulate so when I angle the nose up, it runs the elevons down too far, so after release it dives at the ground and even while pulling full up elevator, it takes a while to level out and start climbing. I'll see if I can avoid this with the NAV LAUNCH mode which disables I-term windup until the motor starts running, and tries to climb out at a fixed angle.
