FMS Ranger 1800 (Cessna 172) - underrated! forgotten? Awesome!

Instead of yet another drone. here I chose a Plane from Banggood (they supplied this review sample). Very appealing for me: almost all is finished out of the box, you just have to complete it in a few easy steps (shown in the video). Big plane with very easy-to-fly handling but also well capable of some mild acrobatics! Just looks good in the air!

●▬▬▬Features/Findings▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● ►REFLEX stabilization: Easy to setup (3pos switch). Would fly in "optimised mode" (this holds the angle of the plane against wind/gust but will not auto-level when you let go the sticks. Auto level is too much imho - not needed - only maybe if you learn to fly? ►FLAPS: powerfull! mix in some down elevator! (from 10mm up and down in low rates, I'd use 3-4mm downtrim!) use a bit more throttle with flaps fully deployed - else it will stall or fly backwards ;) Good for taking the speed out on steep landing approaches - but not as easy to handle as I thought (but maybe that's just lack of LOS flying training on my side). ►LANDING GEAR: great! Big enough for our green field, dampened NOSEgear for sub-optimal landings (you should "flare" the plane and set it on the main wheels first and then lower the throttle to set the nosegear gently down. NOSEGEAR: really needs some threadlock ;) Also it can take a lot of impact on hard landings - but the spring will send you back in the air ;) ►Lights! (my first plane with scale like LEDs installed (even a front landing light, and red/green blinky lights on wingtips). ►FLIGHTTIME with 5200mah 4S (10c multistar pack, 433gr 6yrs old packs!). ~7.5mins and 60% left in pack - so easy 10mins or more (will also try a 7000mah ZOHD liIon pack for ~20mins?) ►TRANSPORT: quite a large plane, wings are installed quite easy and quick with the 4 screws and R-clips on struts. Elevator/Rudder could also be uninstalled for transport - but then it gets to be a bit cumbersome...

Surprising results! DJI Goggles Antenna tested 2.3km away (stationary!)

1st Test up there: https://youtu.be/RQML-azG4bQ 

Last week I did a practical flying test with the same antennas: https://youtu.be/8TYY1-3Lo_c 

These are the DJI goggles V2 antennas: https://youtu.be/FsKhaigxpJs 

I also tested the ORT Digieyes (which are quite similar to the ChrystalHDs): https://youtu.be/PvSZYhobc24

VAS Cyclops V2 vs Helicals vs iFlight Chrystal (Hexplorer)

ad a very nice early spring evening (finally longer days!) and first a great longrange flight, then enough batteries to test some DJI antennas for you. See how the VAS CYCLOPS V2 perform against iFlight ChrystalHD and Henriks Deathray Helicals... If you don't like this "realworld" testing approach, skip it and wait for the next test (which will be the stationary 2.3km distance test again.
