Airplane Suggestion For a UAV

Hey guys,

Gareth and I were talking planes and UAV's the other day so I posted a quick video for him to watch showing one of my planes and why I thought it would be a good choice for a UAV. He suggested I post it for all, so I am.

The plane in the video is a Sky Surfer from Banana Hobby. Now, I personally hate Banana Hobby, but I must admit that this is one great deal on a plane... $160 gets you the plane, TX, charger, a brushless and an extra battery. The Sky Surfer is a rip-off of a Easystar which has been around for years.

I think that is it. Now watch a video of a plane that is not flying.

I believe the people at

I believe the people at diydrones.com talk about a lot of different planes good for UAVs. Personally i think any plane that flies is good for a UAV. I have a easy start setup that doesnt fly. Of course the plane is the easy part of a UAV. The programming and integrating the accelerometers and gyros correctly is the hard part. Im considering a quadcopter one day.
