Hello everyone!

Foreword:
- I am obviously not sponsored by finwing.
- This is just a build log not meant to get anyone insanely hooked onto FPV and diving into something which you'll regret later.
- The A/C is huge. tip to tip wingspan is almost my height (im 177cm) at 1.7meters, so i hope you know what you're getting yourself into if you choose to get this.
- Shipping is hellish expensive, but the seller is awesome (which is why I am writing this to complement him for his professionalism).
Points to note:
- This would be a summarized build log with rather long paragraphs of text.
- I DO NOT follow manual throws and expo settings, i normally set max throws on all my control surfaces and expo them to 30%, and change from there =).
- I have not and will no do long distance fpv, although this platform is perfectly capable of doing so.
- There will be updates and upgrades in the future.
So. Why the penguin V2?
Because i liked it, and i really think that its a legit platform which can expand due to it's huge storage capabilites.
Why not the bixler like everyone else?
*like everyone else* and i just simply didnt like the look of the bixler. the penguin with the weird bubble canopy removed looks pretty badass. and it can carry a gopro with ease!!!
Will i ever recommend this to anyone in singapore?
No, HAHA actually yes =) although it comes in a pretty big box, and it kinda hangs its tail when it turns, its a really forgiving aircraft. And i would say an awesome fpv platform because of its large wing area and its super stable gliding characteristics, maiden'ed at OHR and i actually preferred gliding compared power flights (maybe because my thrust angle is screwed)
Please note that you need to have space for an aircraft this size!!! I was lucky that the fuse can even fit in my room!
