Twinstar First Person Video (FPV) Fixed Wing Drone Build – initial kit

Received my initial Twinstar II kit from Tower Hobbies.  It is very light!  Shipping was expensive though due to the large box size.  The model is an impressive 1.4m wingspan.

Lots of work to do to this before it flies.  Besides the camera and video transmitter, I have decided to paint the aircraft (not sure what design yet) and to install navigation lights, autopilot, flight data recorder (black box), GPS (Global Positioning System) and a HUD (Heads Up Display) which will give me information like altitude and airspeed overlaid onto the video feed.
