    I've ben flying the Skyhunter for years and its my go-to platform. Best all rounder and just so reliable. I think most people in the Skyhunter community know mine by now :)

    • @robertasjuscius1092
      @robertasjuscius1092 Před 5 lety +1

      I just wondering is it possible to make it cruise on 5 amps... My plan is to run big prop, and do some modification to keep prop horizontal before landing...
