Flew fixedwing FPV for 4 month now - this is what I captured!

I fly FPV since 2008 and it started with a plane back then (MPX Twinstar).
Soon I moved to flying quads - because they are easier to fly, less effected by wind, smaller...
But each year I have my "phase" of wanting to fly with PLANEs. Usually this phase don't last long, since I fall back to the convenience of copters :)
Now with really good options (DJI video transmission, Crossfire controll link and INAV flight controller) this was my longest phase of mostly flying planes!
I've learned a lot with the planes, feel really confident with INAV now. Autolaunch installed on all of the planes - super helpfull! Stability (control surface action against gusts?)  could be better - I guess I need to tune the PIDs there better.
But ACRO mode is so nice! The plane automatically flies straight, without the need for trimming the servos ;)

Stats
this video contains 81GB of footage from July 12 till Oct 28
ARWing pro: 13 flights, 4h 18mins
FPV900: 23 flights, 4h 15mins
Mars 1200: 10 flights, 3h 28mins

Each of these planes has some advantages. 
ArWing pro:     review: https://youtu.be/Z4JeN7U_KDw
+ efficient  (kind of), can carry a gopro (needs lot of nose weight, so without a gopro you need DEADWEIGHT)
- it's a bit unstable and wobbly still. 
- Launches are not always easy (but with INAV and autolaunch it's easy!)

FPV900:  easy, small wing now with INAV and GPS!
+ it's cheap so the risk is lower - more confidence!
+ works nice with 3000mah LiIon   - or 1800mah Lipos for stunts!
- a bit unstable in high speeds
- noisy motor / Prop combo

MARS 1200:    
my biggest, most grown up FPV longrange plane!
+ A LOT of space, good speed and efficiency
+ super video range (also thanks to the TrueRC singularity 12cm antennas )
- Stalls are ugly, landings not always easy
