Eachine Micro SkyHunter build part 1

Currently less than £50!
Because of the stigma that mini quads have got, I don't enjoy flying them anymore. People seem to enjoy looking at planes and don't see them as a threat which is why I've been looking for something small, FPV capable and very easy to transport. This thing has ticked all the right boxes and it comes ARTF. Of course, I have to do my own thing and change everything :-)
If you want something to throw in the back of the car and have loads of fun with...... BUY ONE! You're gonna get one anyway so you might as well get it whilst it's on offer :-)
Also, if you want some decent antennas (UHF 1.2, 1.3 & 5.8) then look no further. Bignose13 antennas are by far the best I've used!
You can contact Simon (Bignose13 on FPV Hub) in 2 ways:-

Welcome to the party, Tony.
The Micro Skyhunter is a remarkable little airframe and fantastically priced. I think I paid about £48 for the PnF version when Banggood had it in their EU warehouse. I've only flown mine on 3s 1300mAh Graphene packs, smallest 4s I have are 2200mAh, but it still easily produces near 15min flights with the throttle essentially on a two position switch, all or nothing 😉. I have a mini APM system I may fit as I noticed it does get knocked about a bit in strongish winds, my latest FPV upload was in winds with a ground speed of around 15mph. For smooth flying I have 50% Expo on all surfaces and I've dialled the ailerons down to a rate of 80%. As for multitasking? Some things should just be inferred and left to the imagination 😝😝😝😝
Regards
Nidge.

I have hand launched this plane many times by throwing it like a dart. Works good as long as you have stabilization to keep it straight while you reach for the sticks. So I am glad you are using a stabilizer with auto level.

Yeah I have always been thinking of getting one of those for a while now but don't think I'm experienced enough in planes for this thing I'd smosh it in minutes lol

Mines in the boot of the car ..got 2 x 1.5mah 3s, 2 x 1.3 mah 3s and 3 x 1000mah 3s, havent used the 1.5 and 1.3s because it flies superb on the 1000mah s for about 15 mins with a few glides and it glides like a dream and you cant stall the fucker. have the same version without the camera so i put in a 250mw standard cmos 800tvl 150 deg jobby and run it off the reciever and i gotta say its my go to FPV fix on the way home from work all last will love it although with all that bling your sticking on it it might fly a bit different to mine....keep flying

I just got mine in the mail a few days ago! Is there any trick to getting that wooden piece out? I slid mine as far forward as it would go and put a lot of pressure on it and it wont budge. It feels like the foam will break if I pull anymore.
LOL at the end and sneezing.

Nice little plane Tony....I thought you could put the GPS directly onto the Micro Minim....I think CK did this trick recently....check out his clip...:)...It is cute tho....:)

maybe you need to change your camera setting on the PDB to Pal from NTSC.
