Mini Talon: Build, overview and FPV Maiden
83I got my Mini Talon kit a few months ago, but only just had the time to properly work on it and get it going. Happily loads of other people had also bought them, and so I was able to use the expertise of many others to put mine together and have a great maiden.
Here's a link to some of the printed bits I used in my build -
The Talon itself came from Banggood (affiliate link) -

The original canopy design by PapaTheCat http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1624284 I modified this, so I will probably upload my one as a remix for anyone interested. I made it to fit these cheap metal gear 180 servos from bang good http://www.banggood.com/JX-Servo-PDI-9180MG-12g-180-Degree-MG-Metal-Gear-Analog-Servo-2_0kg-0_12sec-p-1028941.html?rmmds=myorder

Thanks to krikey for throwing, spotting and taking some nice fly-by footage, and carbonfibre for sharing his flying spot with us, and who I think we have have converted over to try an FPV plane as well as 250 quads :)
