New Fat Shark Dominator HD/V2 Face Plate with Fan, nice fit, no fogging.
Fat Shark Dominator HD/V2 Face Plate with Fan. This makes your Dominator HD or V2 goggles fit better on your face and stops the fogging problem. Thanks to Uncle Deek for telling me about this. Super Way Koooool man! (He's famous on YouTube but not as much as me or eastcoast78 or vortecks2000 but pretty famous even so :-)
Dom V1 and Other? I have both the black V1s and the white V2s. Love them both but unfortunately the faceplate only fits my V2s and HDs. Still it might be worth getting a face place and modifying it for the V1s. Or there is the 3D printed version: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:910978
Durafly Tundra Twin Engine Test Flights - Over Land and Water.
Twin prop tundra using 3D printed nacelles designed by barndog726 (link below). In this video https://youtu.be/LaISS1seV7Y we flight test the Tundra with wheels and floats at the flying field and at the lake.
Pros and Cons:
Only Con is in the extra build time.
Pro: It doesn't seem to use any more power than the single engine.
Here are all my pro's

Affordable DIY GoPro Camera Drone with Gimbal, GPS Hold, RTH, iNav https://youtu.be/VIOG9M2wB8Y
This DIY GoPro camera drone is not only affordable but is also high performance featuring a stabilized camera gimbal, FPV feed, GoPro HD recording and full GPS modes such as Altitude Hold, GPS Hold and RTH (return to home).
The frame is constructed of 3d printed parts mated to
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2781770
3/8 and ½ inch square sticks sold at Lowe's or any hardware store.
https://www.lowes.com/search?searchTerm=dowel
The flight controller is an inexpensive BeeRotorF3 FC with iNav CleanFlight firmware fitted with a Neo M8N GPS puck.
Power System: RCTimer 2212 880kv motors with 10 inch props,
SimonK ESCs and 4S 2200mah LiPo Battery.
Drone also has LEDs for night flying.
Altitude Hold is better for just flying around FPV
and GPS hold is good for aerial photography with the GoPro on the stabilized gimbal.

Flyzone Tidewater Maiden Flight Part Two on Calm Water with Less Hot Air. This is my second flight the same day after the maiden flight so no breaking of the champagne but it was a lot of fun. Not as much blather so enjoy the lake sounds and look out for boats!

FLZA3332 — Tx-R
Wingspan: 41.5 in (1055 mm)
Wing Area: 310 in² (20dm²)
Weight: 30-32 oz (850-905 g)
Wing Loading: 13.9-14.9 oz/ft² (42-45 g/dm²)
Length: 36 in (915 mm)
Requires: 4-channel SLT transmitter — or — AnyLink2 & a compatible 4-channel transmitter, 11.1V 2200mAh LiPo battery & LiPo charger or you can easily replace the receiver for your type of radio.
Start with speed and ease. Tx-R aircraft help you save time and get you to the flight line faster. They’re assembled and finished and all onboard electronics are installed …including an SLT receiver. Take a Tx-R out of the box, and you’re practically ready to fly. Now that’s fast and easy.
Add flexibility to the mix. With a Tx-R, you don’t have to buy a special radio to fly. That’s because all Tx-R aircraft come with an SLT receiver. And since they do, you have two very attractive choices.
One, you can fly a Tx-R with a 2.4GHz SLT radio system from Tactic or other manufacturer. Just look for a radio with an "SLT" logo; that tells you they’re 100% compatible with the receivers in all Tx-R aircraft.
However, you may already have a favorite transmitter and don’t want to give it up. That brings up choice #2: the Tactic AnyLink2. Attach it to your transmitter and it does something amazing: it broadcasts a true 2.4GHz signal that any SLT receiver can pick up. It works with virtually all transmitters, regardless of brand, band or modulation. And It not only costs less than a new radio; it costs less than many receivers.
For ease, economy, choices and more fun, there’s nothing like Tx-R.
Tx-R Prime: More options for the more experienced pilot.
Tx-R Prime aircraft are designed for the well-equipped hobbyist who may not need every item included with Tx-R models. While the complete Tx-R packages include a battery pack and basic charger, Tx-R Prime aircraft let you supply those items yourself. You choose which battery to use — and save by using your existing charger, instead of buying a new one.

What the frack is a Drak?
RiteWing DRAK:
http://www.ritewingrc.com/
The Ritewing Drak is a visually stunning and durable remote control (RC) airplane design that is capable of extremely stable and energy efficient flight. This aircraft was designed as a high performance platform for any use: the typical RC enthusiast, first-person-view (FPV), or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). When designing the Drak, Ritewing had one mission in mind: to give the average person the ability to capture quality video and photographs or scientific data over an extended geographical area from an unmanned aircraft. The Ritewing Drak has sufficient cargo space and weight bearing capacity to accommodate all of the electronics and sensors that would be needed for any application.

Probably the world's smallest production quad-copter the Estes Proto X has great flight stability. It comes ready to fly right out of the box but also works with the larger transmitter from the Hubsan X4. We also show how to make a charger cable for LiPo charges and do a few test flights.
