Decided to go check out a new spot in a field with an abandoned building nearby. Storms rolled in and the wind was gusting up to 25+ mph, with a pretty menacing storm closing in by the time I found it. Didn't quite go how I planned, and it started pouring rain just a few minutes after I landed and got all my gear packed up. Good timing!

This is both the maiden for this ReadyMadeRC Recruit V2 wing, and my maiden maiden! I've been flying FPV quads for a few years now, but this is my first attempt at launching and landing a fixed-wing of any type. I was only flying LOS for this quick test so I could see if I could even get it off the ground.
Landing was ?

My first FPV flight at the local park with a ReadyMadeRC Recruit V2 wing. Don't have any telemetry system set up yet so I was conservative on how long I flew, since I'm not sure how long the pack would last.
After about six minutes of flying, the pack was still at just over 4 volts per-cell on a 2200mAh 3s, so once telemetry is set up, this thing should fly quite a while per-pack!
